Can i give two and a half stars??
I finally got to watch the entire movie today after watching the first few scenes the other night i was going to give up on it. I am glad i stuck with it though. The movie left me thinking about what the point really was. Two main themes were running at the same time. First, Julie Ann Moore's character which disturbed me greatly. I found many flaws with her character and found myself not feeling sorry for her at all! Then there was the subplot of racial tension between the police and the black people of "the projects". Samuel Jackson is caught in the middle between his so-called victim and the people he cares about. I found myself really bothered by the first few scenes -- not bothered in a bad way, nothing gross or violent, but the camera-work, the characters and the dark overtone of the setting made me want to go take a tranquelizer! Half-way through, with Eddie Falcos character coming into play, i was calmer and enjoying it more. This is a hard movie for me to recommend -- is it worth seeing?? I think so, if you can get past the first few frazzling scenes. ... -

Very Cute movie
Pros: Funny
Cons: None
I watched this movie with my 7-year old daughter and there were maybe two or three things that i think went right over her head! All-in-all, I liked the movie and we even watched it again the next day. Martin Lawrence does a great job of being Big Momma and I found myself really enjoying her character and wishing I had a Big Momma! I think the little boy in the movie is the second funniest thing, but i wont give any of it away! Even with all the funny scenes, the movie makes a good point, or at least i thought it did. I think it is worth seeing. ...

I liked it!
1 of 1 Yahoo! Users found this review helpfulPros: The characters.
Cons: Not sure!
I never saw the original so i have nothing to compare this to. I will say that i enjoyed this movie a lot! There were mnay times that i laughed out loud and i was very amused by all three characters. Nathan Lane plays a quirky, over the top, slimy producer. Mathew Broderick plays a introverted, intelligent, accountant with strange habits. Uma Thurman is a lusty, beautiful, sweedish bombshell and I give all three of these characters credit! I think musicals are hard to do in todays age and i think they all pulled this one off well! Of course let's not forget Will Ferell and the others that make this movie quite funny! I think it is definatley worth seeing if you are looking for something light-hearted. ...
