When his informant is killed and stepson Trent (Brandon T. Lawrence reprises his role as Malcolm Turner, a federal agent who, apparently working totally by himself, is on the brink of taking down Russian mobster Chirkoff (Tony Curran). Decent eight-figure opening weekend returns should dissipate with negative word-of-mouth, though apparent foreign appetites for Lawrence’s hijinks should ensure the movie is a moneymaker, if certainly not on the scale of its predecessors.
Six years later, a sequel netted a $138 million cumulative haul, almost half coming from foreign receipts. The original film grossed $174 million, inclusive of a robust $56 million overseas, in 2000. Lawrence’s hijinks should ensure the movie is a moneymaker, if certainly not on the scale of its predecessors.ĭevoid of ideas not reflected in its title, or even much in the way of sustained effort, the movie is a meandering misfire that strangely somewhat skimps on comedy in favor of wildly misguided stabs at adolescent love and familial bonding. The third film in Martin Lawrence’s comedy series about a FBI agent who finds himself forced undercover as a tubby matriarch, Big Mommas: Like Father, Like Son is a wearyingly unamusing affair.
