Review of Big Momma's House 2

While the original movie was nothing great, it was enjoyable enough. This sequel makes the mistakes the previous movies made, but instead of making them better this movie amplifies them. The only things that stop it from being a complete abomination are the locations, soundtrack and the performance of Martin Lawrence which is quite good considering how bad everything else is. The material just isn't funny here, there were actually some funny moments in the original but not here, the dialogue is embarrassing and the jokes tasteless, while the gags take the meaning of uninspired to a whole new level. The story is lame and predictable, the direction this time round this lazy, the pace is very rushed in places and the support can't do anything with their material. Overall, this sequel was pretty bad and unnecessary as well. 3/10 Bethany Cox
