     Big Momma’s: Like Father, Like Son is a life-diminishing, maddening attempt at comedic entertainment. The movie is a haphazard, putrid effort to unite two generations of movie goers. The film stars Martin Lawrence (Death at a Funeral), Brandon T. Jackson (Lottery Ticket), Jessica Lucas (Cloverfield), Michelle Ang (My Wedding and Other Secrets), Portia Double Day (Youth In Revolt), Tony Curran (Underworld: Evolution), Faison Love (Couples Retreat), and Ken Jeong (The Hangover pt. 2).

     Big Momma’s: Like Father, Like Son is a disappointing, inexcusable film that tries to infuse a youthful perspective with some of the outdated comedic antics of Martin Lawrence.
