Critics Consensus

Unfunny and unoriginal. In other words, a perfect piece of evidence for opponents of pointless movie sequels.

This is funny mostly for its brazen disregard of common sense -- specifically, the idea that elaborate full-body prosthetic makeup could be slapped on in seconds by a cop on the run.

It's mildly, amiably funny, in a juvenile way.

If Lawrence makes you laugh, you'd be better off watching him do stand-up.

1/5

What remains is leaden, predictable action and an uneasy mix of family-friendly antics and distinctly adult humour.

1.5/4.0

Essentially a series of skits designed to show Big Momma in a variety of "funny" scenarios.

It's thin, but enough to make you forget the cold for 90 minutes.

Honestly? A fun movie, I didn't dislike it as much as other people, used to watch it a lot back in the day, it's a comedy classic.

Big momma 2 is definitely the weakest of the momma trilogy (By no means a bad film, though). The script is as tight as ever, with hilarious predicaments around every turn. The character writing is not as strong as the original Big momma, though it's still excellent by it's own standards. The plot may be the most mainstream of the momma films, with themes of envy, sacrifice and redemption being watered down from the first film to suit a more "casual audience". I - however, would still highly recommend watching this incredible movie, despite its being SLIGHTLY weaker then the original and Big Momma's (2011). A solid 8/10

Big Momma's House 2 (2006) For me, it's still very funny, I thought this second movie was much better than the first.
