The movie is the 3d installment of the Big Momma franchise.

The movie opens with FBI agent Malcom Turner chasing the postman's truck like a criminal, in order to get the mail faster. He finally gets it, and is happy to see his step son got into Duke, the university he went to.

His step son, Trent, doesn't care about Duke, as that's Malcom's dream, and he wants to be a rapper. He received a contract from a record company that Malcom needs to sign because Trent is underage. Malcom refuses.

 

His friends tell him to bother him at work so he'll sign it. Problem is, Malcom is trying to get some bad guys, so the bad guys see Trent seeing them, and are trying to k1ll him.

So Malcom decides to hide Trent in the Georgia Girls School for the Arts, as an obese girl, as he takes on the disguise of Big Momma again. Big Momma takes the job of a house mother and enrolls his son, as Charmaine.

Surrounded by beautiful girls, Trent almost blows his cover, as he is falling for Haley,who thinks the real him full of himself,but agrees to give him a chance.

The movie was entertaining, it didn't bore me, I actually didn't feel when time passed,considering I watched it at a late hour, and I thought I was gonna fall asleep.

I didn't like Trent, as he was full of himself and annoying.

The movie is a musical, and I didn't like those parts.

 

The movie was panned by critics having only 5% approval rating, describing it as unfunny and unnecessary, the 2 leads receiving Raspberry Awards nominations for Worst Actress and Worst Supportive Actress(!), while the audience gave it a B+ on a A to F scale.
