Big Mommas: Like Father, Like Son
Directed by John Whitesell
A big, fat, stinky adventure in sequel-milking. You think it’s gonna be a lot of he-so-crazy Martin Lawrence suiting up in fat/drag for the third time as Malcolm Turner, FBI master of disguise, but it’s more about Brandon T. Jackson as his son Trent inheriting the family girdle while simultaneously courting comely student Haley (Jessica Lucas, pushing her boobs up to the stratosphere of a PG-13 rating), plus there are a coupla horrible goddamn musical numbers making the 107 minutes of running time seem like a fucking marathon, and seriously, even the extras (aka “background artists”) are stiff in this piece of shit. You will notice the shitty background artists because you are looking somewhere else on the screen for entertainment. Professional Asian-American Ken Jeong continues to wear out his welcome with a stock turn as a mailman, and the always amusing Faizon Love shows up, although he doesn’t get much to work with, but there’s a happy ending: Everybody got paid to poop this garbage into a theater near you, so, like, at least some jobs were created.
