This duet and a handful of other scenes - including an energetic cafeteria-set production number that plays like a “Fame” outtake - likely will make some auds wish the filmmakers had taken even greater advantage of setting their plot in a high school for performing arts students. Indeed, the actor’s trademark charisma doesn’t begin to shine through until, midway through “Big Mommas,” Lawrence and Jackson share an unexpectedly sweet musical interlude as Malcolm and Trent riff on a classic Temptations tune. Lawrence comes across as more strident than usual in pic’s early scenes, as he impatiently rousts a mailman (a wasted Ken Jeong) to grab Trent’s college acceptance letter, then condescendingly dismisses his stepson’s desire to become a free-styling rapper instead of a freshman at Duke. Meanwhile, Malcolm/Big Momma tussles with a mean-girl ballet student (Portia Doubleday), and wards off advances from a lovestruck school security guard (an unbilled Faizon Love). Predictably, Trent/Charmaine must struggle to maintain his cool and his disguise around scantily clad femme students, and actually falls for a young college-bound beauty (Jessica Lucas) who’s set on earning a music scholarship. Jackson), Malcolm’s rebellious 17-year-old stepson, must join his stepdad on campus and pass himself off as Charmaine, Big Momma’s grand-niece, having witnessed the murder of the aforementioned informant.ĭirector John Whitesell (who helmed “Big Momma’s House 2”) and scripter Matthew Fogel dutifully recycle comic shtick from the previous pics. For “Big Mommas,” Malcolm creatively cross-dresses to go undercover as a housemother at the Georgia Girls School of the Arts, where an informant hid a flash drive containing evidence incriminating a Russian mobster (Tony Curran) before being inconveniently killed.Ĭomplicating the caper, Trent ( Brandon T. Once again, Lawrence’s brash Malcolm Turner dons improbably efficient prosthetics and an amply padded fat suit to disguise himself as Big Momma, a kinda-sorta soul sister of Tyler Perry’s Madea.
