Why anyone would want to make a sequel to an already bad movie I do not know, though I must confess I have not seen the original nor do I desire to. I do not rate Martin Lawrence much, he�s not a good comedic actor. However I do love Bad Boys 1 and 2, if only thanks to some beautiful action set-pieces from Michael Bay and the saving grace of Will Smith, a true Hollywood giant. It graves me to say therefore that my girlfriend dragged me along to see this debacle, aren�t I a good boyfriend?
Following the death of his former partner, FBI agent Malcolm Turner (Lawrence) once again goes deep undercover as the rotund �Big Momma� to become a nanny/housekeeper, infiltrating the prime suspect�s household whilst trying to keep three dysfunctional children under control... comedy shenanigans ensue� yawn.
Working as a combination of Mr Nanny and Mrs Doubtfire, the movie fails on every level to be funny, heart-warming or exciting. We have seen these tired formulas before using the same stereotypical characters and �rub it in your face� moral values, and all of these attempts were appalling (with the exception of Mrs Doubtfire). The only plus points that drag the movie up to its 1 star rating are the hot Emily Procter (CSI: Miami) as the yummy mummy, and a few titillating scenes in a luxury spa with some Victoria�s Secret models.
Y�know, I�m not going to go any further, mainly because the movie does not deserve any better, and also because I have realised that I need to educate my girlfriend in cinema post-haste. |
