Oh good grief. I don’t have to see this movie to know it’s stupid. But I won’t say it’s stupid until I do indeed see it (after all… I’ve been surprised before). However, the Big Momma’s House 2 reviews are now coming in… but a bunch of people who HAVE seen it… and you guessed it… they say it’s stupid.
I’ve always been up front about my opinion as far as Martin Lawrence goes. The man is a decent stand up comedian.. but he sucks in film. I’ve yet to see him in a single movie that made me say anything but “Why the hell is then guy in the movie business?!?!” But hey, that’s just my opinion.
So here come the Big Momma’s House 2 reviews and as I said earlier, they don’t look pretty:
“Painfully unfunny slapstick takes precedence over would-be satire.”
Sheri Linden, HOLLYWOOD REPORTER“… the family film vibe doesn’t suit a manic-tempered comic such as Lawrence, whose fat suit and septuagenarian makeup can’t hide his obvious boredom in delivering more of the same wheezing insults and down-home advice.”
Robert Abele, LOS ANGELES TIMES“As absurd and blatantly offensive as Momma purports to be in its bloated skin, there’s not one genuine funny tidbit to behold in this chunky comedy.”
Frank Ochieng, MOVIE EYE“If you thought Big Momma’s House was funny, then two things are probably true: 1) You are stupid. 2) You will also think Big Momma’s House 2 is funny.”
Eric D. Snider, ERICDSNIDER.COM
As of this moment Big Momma’s House 2 has a pathetic 11% rating on Rotten Tomatoes. But come on folks… is anyone really surprised at all? Not me.
