I
knew I shouldn't have bothered watching this movie. To be fair,
it wasn't the worst hour and a half of my life, at least the theater
was comfortable.
Martin
Lawrence plays FBI Special Agent Malcolm Turner, an agent good enough
with disguises to make Ethan Hunt proud. His current assignment
is to catch a bank robber who recently escaped from jail in hopes
of recovering the missing money.
Figuring
he'll try to hook up with his old girlfriend who worked at the bank,
Malcolm stakes out her grandmothers house in hopes she'll turn up.
When Big Mamma leaves town to help a sick friend, Malcolm assumes
her identity to try and get information from the girlfriend.
OK,
so it's not a great plot, but it serves its purpose which is simply
to put Martin Lawrence in drag and keep him hopping from one sticky
situation to another. Sometimes it's pretty funny as in the church
scene, but mostly the movie just drags along. I expected the movie
to be stupid, what I didn't expect was for it to be painfully boring
as well.
Save
your money, and rent it if you just have to see it. I suspect it
will be on DVD later this fall.
