Oh God, what a crock of shit. Big Momma's House 2 is a sequel too far, a blatant rape of any consumer dumb enough to waste his afternoon seeing it. Like me.

If only Will Smith could see you now, you Bad Boy. If I was a member of Martin Lawrence's family, I'd get him checked into some kind of clinic straight away. He looks seriously dazed throughout this whole shambles, though to be fair if the catering was on a par with the rest of the production values, he probably had salmonella. Everything about this movie reeks of apathy, of churning out any old crap just to get the thing finished. It's like watching your kid clean your car to make some pocket money - you both know he doesn't give a toss about the car, so he'll do a half-arsed job and claim it's finished so he can raid the sweetshop again. The crew of Big Momma's House 2 are probably down some dark alley right now, cutting a shady deal for their own little bag of grown-up sweeties to take the guilt away.

Nia Long pretends that the incessant vomiting is nothing to do with the despair of working on an effluent movie. Martin Lawrence can do this kind of stuff in his sleep - which is handy, because that's exactly what he does. There's no sparkle, there's no passion, there's no attempt to bring anything vaguely novel to the party - it's just the same old tired nonsense that we'd all seen twenty times already by the time we'd learned to fart without following through. That said, if you are young enough to still be laundrily challenged, you might find it hilarious. But make sure you're not actually laughing at the bubbly parps coming from your pants, because they're going to be considerably funnier than Big Momma. The script's terrible, the editing's awful, the direction is robotic - there really is nothing at all to recommend about this movie at all. It is, however, better than The Pacifier. But then, so is rickets.

Big Momma's House 2 should be sentenced to an eternity of Lorraine Kelly's workout video hell. Even worse than Cheaper By The Dozen 2, it comfortably takes the title of Worst Movie of 2006 ... so far. Bloodrayne's not out yet...

I enjoyed this film: 1/5

I think the average moviegoer will enjoy it: 2/5

Testosterone Satisfaction Rating: 0/5.

To enjoy this film you should: have never seen a movie before.

 

Big Momma's House 2 is released in the UK on 10th February.
