Q: what happens when you put martin lawrence in a fat suit in real life ?
you get martin lawrence in a coma ( the comedian thought he was getting fat , so he put on numerous layers of heavy clothing and went jogging in 100 degree heat , ending up in a coma ) .
so what happens when you put martin lawrence in a fat suit in the movies ?
you get an audience in a coma .
in big momma 's house , lawrence plays a fbi agent who 's a master of disguises .
when a naughty , naughty man escapes from jail and seeks out his former girlfriend ( the very sexy nia long . . .
the only thing worth looking at in this movie ) , she flees to georgia to stay with her rather large southern aunt " big momma " ( ella mitchell ) .
the fbi follows her in order to recover the large sum of money stolen in the bank robbery that sent the naughty man to jail .
however , big momma is called away on an emergency .
sensing that they could lose their only chance to capture the criminal , lawrence goes undercover as big momma .
and let the comedy begin !
big momma 's house is the definition of a " gimmick " movie if there ever was one .
the plot can basically be summed up as " martin lawrence dresses up as a fat woman " . . .
and even that description is too wordy .
you can just see this script plotted out on a chalkboard with martin lawrence / fat woman in the middle of the board with a big circle around it , and
all sorts of clich ?
d , " humorous " situations pointing to it .
fat woman plays basketball !
fat woman takes a dump !
fat woman kung fu !
well they left one off the board .
. .
movie critic slips into coma !
paul giamatti ( private parts , the negotiator ) plays lawrence 's partner and as much as i enjoy his work , even he ca n't inject life into this lifeless comedy .
hell , the greatest performers on the planet could n't make this material work . . .
it 's just that awful .

Q: some movies ask you to leave your brain at the door , some movies ask you to believe in the impossible to really have a good time .
playing god asks just one simple , eensy , teensy thing so it can fully entertain you ,
it 's accomplished in just four easy to follow steps : crack open your skull , scoop out your brain , squish it under your foot several times and reverse steps two and one .
congratulations , you now have all the necessary requirements to fully enjoy a whole lot of nothing .
some movies fail at the box office but you manage to see why the producers thought it could have been a good movie , others are simply good ideas that are badly executed .
then there 's playing god , which enters the esteemed category of movies which seem to have grown from the union of a drunk director , actors satisfied in the knowledge that this horrible flick will have no lasting impact on their careers and a bunch of rip - offs
( or homages as they like to call it ) from other , better movies that end up looking like an unflushed toilet .
harsh ?
maybe .
justified ?
hell yes !
this is a movie that is not just satisfied in ripping off other movies but feels the need to remind us of that fact every ten minutes .
for example , a gunman bursts into a garden with the two guns in his hands firing away .
this does look moderately kool , but the camera lingers on the actor for so long you can almost hear the director yelling : " oooh , look look !
john woo !
two guns blazing !
slooooow motion ! "
and if that was n't enough , you can also hear the script grunting under the effort it must take to try and make every single line of dialogue sound like something deep and meaningful like in a tarantino movie .
poor timothy hutton gets to deliver most of the corny lines , you have to admire the effort he puts into it , this guy deserves better .
unlike most movies this one does not suffer from " stupid bad guy " syndrome , just to make things a little different this time
we get stupid heroes .
example : duchovny manages to distract a bad guy by making him go into the bathroom to get some bandages .
now the bad guy is , like , stoned , man , so he leaves his shotgun next to our hero .
( term used as loosely as possible ) survival instincts and a good dose of common sense seems to suggest grabbing the shotgun , which our hero does , but only after contemplating it for about thirty seconds .
even when he does grab it he seems unsure how to hold it , going so far as to actually wonder if he should place a finger near the trigger .
mind you , i 've never fired a shotgun in my life but believe you me that the bad guy would be missing most of his vital organs , be he stoned or not .
some will argue that our hero does not have a killer instinct , the hell with that !
two fbi guys have just been shot in front me , along with one bad guy and the other looks like he might go ballistic at any second .
solution ?
boom !
i 'll take the time to feel sorry about it later
thank you very much .
another prime example of the idiot hero syndrome
: our boy duchovny needs to reach his girl before something bad happens to her .
he knows the head bad guy has her on the tenth floor of a building and that he might be running into a room full of people with itchy trigger fingers .
he still has his shotgun , bring it along
you say ?
no thanks , i 'll just ditch it in the back of my car .
and the real kicker is this : when he reaches the room and people start shooting at him he has the nerve to look surprised ! while we are on the subject of getting shot , why in hades were those fbi guys sitting with their backs to the door ?
i 've got no formal training but
even i know you never sit with your back to the door .
ask mr .
wild bill , the first and only time he did not sit with his back to a wall cost him his life .
this is the major problem with this movie , any mook could have thought of a hundred ways to make it better .
is it so much to ask that hollywood actually put a little common sense into their characters ?
for instance : our heroes hide at duchovny 's summer home , now the bad guys could come knocking at any moment .
ok , this time our hero does get himself a gun and has it at his side most of the time .
but see , our hero is a drug addict and guess what ?
he chooses now to go clean and suffer through dt .
oh sure , he 'll be really impressive when the bad guys come calling .
going clean is really honorable of him , but i would have waited until i did not need to be conscious or being able to fire a gun .
for an enjoyable performance by timothy hutton , plot holes the size of godzilla , getting our intelligence insulted and several " oh come on !
" moments .

Q: apparently , director tony kaye had a major battle with new line regarding his new film , american history x .
i do n't know the details of the fight , but it seems that he is not happy with the final product , and nearly removed his name from the credits altogether .
i 've heard about this kind of thing happening before , and it makes me wonder how much input a studio has over the films they produce .
as it is , i found american history x to be an extremely good film , not just because of tony kaye 's focused look at the touchy subject of racism , but because of a powerful , charismatic performance from edward norton .
it 's hard to believe that it has only been two years since norton 's fantastic role in primal fear , but , here he is now , starring in his own film and making himself a star .
norton is one of those performers who becomes his character , and his work in american history x is one of the very best performances this year .
he plays a young man named derek vinyard , a skinhead living in venice beach with his brother , danny ( edward furlong ) , mother ( beverly d'angelo ) , and sister , davin ( jennifer lien ) .
the film opens with a flashback , in which derek brutally kills two black men vandalizing his car .
we find out that this lands him in prison , and the film from that point is seen through the eyes of danny .
in the present - time of the film , danny is in high school , and eager to follow the footsteps of his brother .
much of the film is told in flashback , and we see the path that leads to derek 's adoption of white supremacy .
when derek is released , having served three years in prison , he finds that his brother is now a full - blown skinhead ; derek , however , has given up the violence , and tries to get his brother to understand why racism and the violence that comes with it are bad things .
what makes this all interesting is that these two young men are not stupid , thoughtless people -- they are intelligent and articulate , and voice their beliefs in disturbingly straightforward terms .
it 's hard to make a controversial movie and not preach , but kaye has found the right note for his material .
because american history x is a mainstream film , there has to be a redemption phase for our main character -- some people may think that this is the only way to make him sympathetic .
i partially disagree with this , because , although i do not advocate racism in any way , it 's interesting the way kaye presents derek
-- he is a loud , obnoxious man , but he 's also very smart .
the reasons for why he becomes a skinhead are believable -- his father was arbitrarily killed by a group of black men .
it 's clear that he 's passionate about his beliefs , and that he 's not just a punk looking for an excuse to beat people up .
of course , it helps that kaye has an actor as talented as norton to play this part .
it 's astonishing how frightening norton looks with a shaved head and a swastika on his chest .
in addition to getting the look just right , he 's perfect for this role
-- derek requires intelligence , depth , and a whole lot of shouting , and norton does it all with ease .
even when he 's at his meanest , derek has a likable quality to him , and that 's a gutsy approach when telling a story about a skinhead .
what adds depth to the story is a subplot in which the principal of danny 's school ( avery brooks ) becomes obsessed with purging the hatred from danny .
the other performances are all terrific , with standouts from furlong , d'angelo , and lien . visually , the film is very powerful .
kaye indulges in a lot of interesting artistic choices , and most of them work nicely --
lots of slow - motion and strange camera angles add to a moody atmosphere .
but , like a lot of movies lately , american history x skims past greatness in the last few minutes .
although the climactic scene is very moving
, the picture ends with a pretentious , preachy resolution featuring a brief narration from a character who was killed .
for a movie so smart a subtle up until that point , it felt like a slap in the face to be hand - fed a theme in such a simplistic way .
it makes me wonder what , exactly , tony kaye disliked about the final version of his film .
perhaps this last scene was the problem .
it 's hard to imagine any director not being at least partially pleased with a film this good -- in a time when so many movies are timid and weak , american history x manages to make a compelling argument for racism without advocating it any way .
