Big Mommas: Like Father, Like Son

Plot synopsis:
FBI agent Malcolm Turner (Martin Lawrence) is elated to learn that his stepson, Trent Pierce (Brandon T. Jackson), has been accepted to attend Duke University in Durham, North Carolina. However, Trent is uninterested and instead wants Malcolm to sign a recording contract for him since he is underage. When Malcolm refuses, Trent's best friends encourage him to ambush Malcolm on the job in order to obtain the signature.
Malcolm, in an attempt to capture Russian gang member Chirkoff (Tony Curran), uses an informant named Canetti to deliver a flash drive to the gang, while Trent attempts to ambush Malcolm on the job. Canetti (Max Casella) reveals that the flash drive is empty and a duplicate is hidden with a friend at the Georgia Girls School for the Arts.
During the exchange, Canetti's cover is blown and he is killed, which Trent witnesses. Malcolm eventually rescues Trent and they escape, but since Trent's car was left at the scene Malcolm knows the gang members will be able to track them down so Malcolm and Trent are forced to hide undercover. Malcolm once again becomes Sherry's grandmother, Big Momma, and also disguises Trent as an obese girl named "Charmaine", Big Momma's great-niece. Big Momma takes a job as a house mother at the Georgia Girls School for the Arts, while Charmaine is enrolled as a student.
Surrounded by attractive young women, Trent nearly blows his cover, but manages to befriend a girl named Haley Robinson (Jessica Lucas). The headmistress announces that a historic music box has been stolen from the library, and Malcolm deduces that this music box contains the flash drive. While scoping out the library, Big Momma encounters security guard Kurtis Kool, who attempts to woo her while giving a tour. Seeing a picture of Kurtis with Canetti, Malcolm realizes that he is the friend, and tries to find out more about the music box.
Meanwhile, the gang members approach Trent's best friends, posing as record producers, and encourage them to notify them of Trent's whereabouts. Charmaine sets up a date between Haley and himself, though she doubts she will be interested in the seemingly egotistical "Prodi-G," Trent's hip-hop alias. Trent reverts to his true self and the date goes well, but an encounter with Trent's best friends causes the gang members to tail them.
Trent helps Haley perfect her musical performance for the upcoming "Showcase" event, turning it into a duet, and the two exchange a kiss at the end of the date, while Haley encourages Trent to pursue college. Before the gang members can capture Trent, he changes into his Charmaine disguise, throwing them off. Learning of an exchange between two students and Kurtis Kool, Big Momma attempts to flirt with Kurtis in order to apprehend him for stealing the music box, but the secret exchange ends up being the stolen gamecock from the Ignatius Boys School.
During this encounter, Malcolm reveals his true identity to Kurtis. After gaining the favor of several students by offering sage advice and comfort to them, Big Momma finally learns the music box was actually stolen by Haley as a hazing to become a full pledged member of the "Divas", a group of top artists in the school. As she is about to perform her duet, Malcolm forces Trent to retain his Charmaine disguise, and he attempts to perform the duet with Haley as Charmaine, only to break disguise and ruin the performance. As Haley storms off, the gang members arrive and a chase ensues.
Trent accidentally draws their attention as he attempts to pursue Haley and explain himself. Just as he recovers the flash drive, the gang members catch up and hold him at gunpoint. Big Momma interferes and provides an escape, but all three are caught again and Malcolm's disguise is revealed. Just as Chirkoff is about to kill them, Kurtis arrives with a taser and saves the day.
Trent and Haley reconcile, and Malcolm signs Trent's record contract, only to have him tear it up and reveal his new plan to attend college. As the film ends, Malcolm and Trent make an agreement to keep the whole ordeal a secret from Sherry. During the end credits, a music video is shown for Trent's song, "Lyrical Miracle". It features Malcolm as Big Momma, Kurtis Kool, the girls and the teachers from the school, as well as the gang members and the mailman.

Review:
Big Momma: Like Father, Like SonThe worst day for an African-American actor is the day that he or she must put on the first of what will be many fat suits.Unfortunately for the teen actor in this comedy, his moment of humiliation has come at an early age.When his partner hides a flash-drive on an all-girls arts college campus, Detective Turner (Martin Lawrence) must don his Big Momma persona to infiltrate the student body.Aiding Turner on this undercover endeavor is his arrogant stepson Trent/Charmaine (Brandon T.
Jackson), a hopeful rapper and an unintentional murder witness.Now, Big Momma and Charmaine must locate the flash-drive before the bad guys catch on to their disguises.The third installment of the Big Momma franchise, Like Father, Like Son is a failed attempt at resuscitating an unfunny and insulting series.Besides, there are more comical issues to exploit in a skinny character who use to be fat.
Martin Lawrence made quite a lot of money with this series and not only a few would wonder how this could happen in the first place.While this isn't complete waste (you might be able to laugh or chuckle at some of the silly jokes), this really is by the numbers and has no surprising element whatsoever to elevate it over other movies with similar themes.
"Big Mommas: Like Father, Like Son" is the third movie in the series, and honestly, they might have considered stopping after the second movie.
And now the third one has been unleashed upon us movie-lovers.For a comedy, then "Big Mommas: Like Father, Like Son" is rather weak, because there is only a handful of situations that proved to be funny.
The storyline was weak and very hard to believe and get into, because it was so over the top.Now, Martin Lawrence does a good job as Malcolm and Big Momma, as he did in the previous two movies.
The movie was just suffering from being a movie that had a weak story.I suppose for hardcore fans of Martin Lawrence, then "Big Mommas: Like Father, Like Son" will be a blast.
I can't believe I'm saying this, but this atrocious sequel makes look the original film(Which was pretty bad) almost decent by comparison.I just can't stand this kind of "comedies" (Filled with bad jokes, annoying characters, offensive and irritating stereotypes) In fact, I think this movie reached a new level of boredom and annoyance.It is one of the most irritating and least funny movies ever made.This movie is the complete opposite of fun: In fact, I think that the world turned a bit worse for the sole existence of this film.At least the movies that appeared in "Mystery Science Teather 3000" were funny to watch, despite being bad.
"How you gonna hide swag as big as this?" After Malcom's (Lawrence) aspiring rapper step son Trent (Jackson) sees a murder it's up to Malcolm to hide Trent and find the evidence he needs to put the murderer in jail.
- No way, but like the other series I mentioned I would watch the others before this one if they were on TV.*Also try - Big Mommas House 1 & 2.
Big Momma's House Three - Like Father Like Son is the Best Thin Black Comedian in a Fat Old Black Woman Suit movie ever!
That says a lot that out of the thousands and thousands of Eddie Murphy, Martin Lawrence and who knows who else thin black male comedian movies where they put on a fat old person suit to get (or really just try to get without succeeding) cheap laughs, this one is the very very best.
In an effort to retrieve some valued evidence and also to protect his son's life, Malcolm aka Big Momma enters an all-girl school dragging along his son Trent aka Charmaine with him.
Big Mommas: Like Father, Like Son (2011) was what i was expecting, an alright, fun movie.
Big Mommas: Like Father,Like Son is a brutal movie with a stupid storyline that is mainly only trying to be funny,but even fails at that.I've seen the first two,which I didn't find brilliant,but there are plenty of funny scenes in them to make it somewhat enjoyable,and that is completely absent in this.The main thing that made the first two so enjoyable is Martin Lawrence,and he isn't in this as much,its more about his step son played by Brandon T Jackson,who I didn't enjoy,his fat suit wasn't as funny and his voice as a woman wasn't either,the scenes that Martin Lawrence is in is the only reason i'm not giving this a lower rating.Even if you are a big fan of the first two Big Mommas,I don't think you'll enjoy this,and definitely not if your looking for something funny to watch,I wouldn't recommend this movie to anyone.After his stepson Trent (Brandon T Jackson) witnesses a murder,Malcolm (Martin Lawrence) and his stepson Trent must go undercover in an all girls art college as Big Mommma and her daughter..
I thought this movie had a good storyline, great plot, was very funny at some portions, I just legitly loved it.Pretty much, "Big Momma" goes undercover at a female preforming arts school to find a flash drive containing some evidence that will put some crooks away.
It's a simple plot, but there's lots of great moments in the film, I thought the wend finale ended funny and was something I did not expect at all to happen.I loved this movie, I gave it an 8/10, go check it out if you want a good laugh.
One other thing is, at times i thought i was watching "High School Musical" (you will understand what i mean if you've seen it!)It could most definitely fall under the category, "It's so bad, that it's good" But i think the whole purpose of this film was aimed at a younger audience, you can tell that automatically by looking at the cast.
I had to say that I was waiting more things from this movie.The previous 2 movies was better and with great locations and staff.What was the whole point of it?We have 2 undercover guys in an art female college or something but how can this happened?I mean seriously know the director had to be more realistic.I personally preferred the director to show us more locations of Atlanta.It is one of the most visited places in the USA but the movie was only in 4-5 places.In addition I didn't get the whole point of the movie?It would be better If they had more scenario on it and better staff.The movie was medium not to long but without any good staff.I give this movies 5 out of ten....
- Family no comedy: This film was nowhere funny, first 2 were barely, this movie is more a family one, because, it's mainly for children in my eyes (high school movies are never for adults with just, no humor) - It looked like it was just the same as the last 2 movies, nothing actually really changed besides the setting/actors (barely) and story line.
All the movie is abused by the same jokes but in a bad way.Bad Story, Bad Dialog and Bad Acting(even of Portia and that is sad :( all the movie she is seen as the bad girl of the school)Martin Lawrence should avoid this character again before it kills his career.If you can avoid it, do it by any cause..
For some reason, the two of us and the three other friends we were with thought that "Big Mamas house: like father like son" might be a wise movie choice.
The film was directed by (John Whitesell), written by( Matthew Foge)l and (Don Rhymer), and starring (Martin lawrence) reprising his role as FBI agent Malcolm Turner.
It was released in the United States on February 18, 2011.Martin Lawrence (Big Momma) is FBI Agent, his son Trent is a singer and he wants to be singer but his father refused, because he wants him to go to college.
after the problem that Trent involved himself in he asked his dad to go back home the father answered him saying "hell no the probably saw ya nd I got to get the flash first " .the flash was in Georgia girls school for art.
The father got an idea to get in there, he hid the son and himself with big momma and her niece which is Trent .Big Mommas (martin Lawrence) got work in the school as house mother.
After that the principle Announce that that the box martin Lawrence (big momma) wanted was stolen from the library and the flash drive is in it.
so big mommas (Martin Lawrence) went to the library to look for clue and Charmaine (Trent) want back to the room and she was invited to a pajamas party which made Trent so happy .charmine (Trent) started to hook one of the girls for Trent which is him and he made a date for himself.After the date the Criminals saw the kid and they followed him till the school but they lost him because they couldn't get in.
Now you start to talk like men "the father said.so the kid got back to the girl, got his CDs done with one of the biggest companies, and he finished his Ph.D it is really good movie one of my best movies ever you need to watch it.
Her sayings are what i have enjoyed the most about these movies.Martin Lawrence is fantastic as big momma you can still see that he enjoys playing this part and Brandon T wasn't bad but you have to give credit for trying.
I hope this is the last sequel in this franchise as it is good way end it with his son going to college.The Movie is 100 minutes which is not bad for a comedy if you just take it on face value you will like this movie but if you looking for something with a bit substance you should avoid this movie.I myself only watched this movie because i was bored..
Yes, it was more than ten years ago when Martin Lawrence first debuted as the F.B.I. agent Malcolm Turner, whose idea of undercover was to don fat suits, fake breasts and plus-size women's clothes for a getup known as Big Momma.
Still, there's no denying Martin Lawrence is amusing in what has become the most famous character of his career, and "Big Mommas: Like Father Like Son" was just another excuse to watch him do what he does best.
Trent's Charmaine doesn't share many scenes with Big Momma, spending most of her time amidst the other nubile girls in the same house, including getting romantic ideas on one of them, singer- songwriter Haley (Jessica Lucas).
And ultimately, it is the lively performances of Lawrence and Jackson who make this Big Mommas sequel worth its weight.
Malcolm (Martin Lawrence) doesn't sign the paper since he thinks it would be better if Trent (Brandon T.
Martin Lawrence gives a good performance (I mean for this material) both as Malcolm and even better as Big Momma.
I wasn't crazy about him but I believe he will appeal to others.Brandon Jackson is better when trying to be Charmaine than he is as Trent, but he is also a good rapper, if there is such a thing.
If you can forget about the ethical issues, just enjoy it.I'm sorry to say that, while this movie has a Heather like the other movie did, the nasty anorexic ballet dancer only manages a few genuinely funny lines and turns out not to be nearly as bad as we first thought.Luckily for our heroes, the bad guys are bumbling idiots, but still quite dangerous.If you immediately hate the idea of watching either Big Momma or Madea, don't bother.
So Malcolm becomes Big Momma and Trent is Charmaine.
There is a really funny scene where the hot girl Trent likes, Haley, sings in the cafeteria, and everyone joins in and Big Momma gets her grove on and crashes a table.
STAR RATING: ***** Saturday Night **** Friday Night *** Friday Morning ** Sunday Night * Monday Morning Agent Malcolm (Martin Lawrence) returns, this time with seventeen year old son Trent (Brandon T.
But things change when a Russian mob boss gets it in his head that Trent saw him kill someone, and the pair are forced to go undercover at an all girls performing arts school, with Trent taking the guise of singing sensation Charmaine and Malcolm reprising his guise of the indomitable 'Big Momma.' The original Big Momma's House presumably gained a bit of a cult following in spite of what couldn't exactly have been amazing reviews, since two sequels were spawned, the latest being this, erm, questionable piece of work that is one of the sadder products of the sequel reliant recession era times.
This year it's Big Momma 3.Absolutely nothing in this film was funny, nor I or the audience of about 40 people laughed once at this cataclysmic attempt at a comedy.
Lawrence's character is a respected FBI agent, is the only thing he can think of to hide his stepson; dressing him in drag and enrolling he and himself as members of an all girls school?
That both of them are able to fool an entire girl's college campus is one mental hurdle the movie asked of me that I just could not accomplish.Of course, given the attempts at humor on display in Big Mommas: Like Father, Like Son, it probably wouldn't hurt if the audience shared the same IQ as the characters up on the screen.
Malcolm decides that the best way for his stepson and him to remain inconspicuous is to dress in drag, a fat suit, and clothes that look like they were stolen from a circus clown's wardrobe.They head for the Georgia All Girl's School for the Performing Arts, where incriminating evidence against the mobsters has been conveniently hidden, and even more conveniently, a position for housemother has opened up.
I don't think I'm spoiling much by revealing that Big Mommas ends with the gangsters getting what they deserve, and father and son bonding during their time in drag together.
By far the most entertaining character in the film, the only character sustaining the comedy the film intended for, even if its just the way he says "Momma said knock you out!" The character's crazy crush on Big Momma makes for a hilarious little sub-plot that is perhaps the best bit of the film, ranging from his funny feelings for her to an amusing game of Twister between the two.This is the third time unlucky for Martin Lawrence as a single character.
Judging from the financial success of the first two, Big Mommas: Like Father Like Son may be another surprise hit but in this dead zone of cinema, there are far better alternates to view.Verdict: Martin Lawrence should seriously stop.
Yet this film dares to travel further into the taboo by displaying this theme with a backdrop of the relationship between an urban African- American father and son (a community that often shuns or ignores LGBT issues).This dramatic comedy stars Martin Lawrence as Malcolm Turner, a frustrated man stuck behind his tough machismo identity, as both an FBI agent and African-American father.
What Big Mommas: Like Father, Like Son offer to audience?
Especially Martin Lawrence who desperately needs better movies like this.
All what this movie had to make laughs was the ancient situation of man-disguised-as-a-girl seeing a real girl taking off her clothes (and he throws a line Sean Connery has said in Goldfinger, 47 years before !), plus some nauseating situation where Martin Lawrence as big Momma was forced to be naked in a fine art class, and no need to say that both ended as unfunny !
The teacher of the fine art class sure got enough time to know Big Momma's fact as a man, though the movie rushed that moment strangely.
The problem of (Big Mommas : Like Father, Like Son) isn't about having no originality with the formulaic plot; it's about having no juice inside this formulaic plot, as if the writers didn't have time to make any creative situations or amusing lines (I bet, this movie doesn't make its own makers laugh !).
Malcolm and Trent are forced to go undercover and disguise themselves as Big Momma and Charmaine at an all girls college.
I highly recommend BIG MOMMAS: LIKE FATHER, LIKE SON!!!.
FBI agent Malcolm Turner and his 17-year-old son, Trent, go undercover at an all-girls performing arts school after Trent witnesses a murder.Posing as Big Momma and Charmaine, they must find the murderer before he finds them....I wanted to see this, just to see how far Lawrence was scraping the barrel, i'm kind of sadistic like it.
Big Mommas: Like Father, Like son.
Short summary: Agent Malcolm and his son, Trent hide themselves in the "Georgia girls school for the arts" by being dressed as women.
They return to their house and then, the movie ends.Opinion: Big Mommas: Like Father, Like son is an American comedy movie which contains American humor.
Big Mommas: Like Father, Like Son (2011): Dir: John Whitesell / Cast: Martin Lawrence, Brandon T.
This time Martin Lawrence is joined by his son, played by Brandon T.
Big Mommas: Like Father, Like Son. The first film is obviously good fun, the second film was a big disappointment and waste of time, I had a feeling this third instalment would be just as bad, from director John Whitesell (Big Momma's House 2, Deck the Halls).
Basically Malcolm Turner (Martin Lawrence, nominated the Razzie for Worst Actress as Big Momma) is still hard at work with the FBI, and his stepson Trent 'Prodi-G' (Brandon T.
So naturally Malcolm has once again donned the Hattie Mae 'Big Momma' Pierce outfit and disguise, and Trent has done the same to become her great niece Charmaine, and they are entering all-girls performing arts school.
