"The guy who wants to see Big Momma's House 2... he's not a guy with whom you want to be pals." If you have a kid, these are words you must speak to him or her. How did this happen? Big Momma's House 2? With what devil did Martin Lawrence make a pact that cinema screens would not only be besmirched with the original Big Momma's House, but... BIG MOMMA'S HOUSE 2??? Maybe it is a little funny to see an average sized man in fat lady drag, but is that enough for not one, but TWO motion pictures? Roughly 180 minutes of "Damn, Gina" in a fat lady costume? Maybe it's the wine mixed with common sense talking, but that doesn't seem like a good idea. And the posters-- is s/he flashing a peace sign? I suppose that means "two." As in, "This is the second major motion picture featuring Martin Lawrence as Big Momma." I remember when they did that for another crowning turd of the screen: Wayne's World 2 (and at least the first one was funny). Shit, Burt Reynolds' flashed the pointer and index for his second Smokey and the Bandit adventure. It's not original. It's not funny. It's Big Momma's House goddamn 2.

D.J. Kirkbride obviously has no taste in film.
