- TriviaNia Long was in talks to join the cast of Charlie's Angels (2000). She was persuaded to join this film upon receiving a bunch of roses with the attached note "Come to us where you'll be the only angel."
- GoofsIn addition to the placement of the necklace, the simple fact that Malcolm was wearing the necklace in front of Sherry is a huge error. The necklace belonged to Big Momma. Sherry should have noticed this.
- Quotes
Sherry: [jumping into bed beside "Big Momma" during the storm] I remember how it used to storm like this when I was a little girl. You would wrap your arms around me, and it felt like nothing in the world could ever hurt me.
Malcolm Turner: [wrapping his arms around Sherry] It feels so damn good.
Sherry: [feeling a jab in her back from Malcolm's "arousal"] Big Momma, what's that?
Malcolm Turner: [pulls out a flashlight] That's just my flashlight. The storm knocked out all the power so I had to get a big ol' flashlight.
Sherry: [interrupting the conversation they were having when she feels another jab in the back] Big Momma, is there another flashlight under there?
- Alternate versionsFor the UK version the distributor chose to cut eight seconds of violence in the opening martial arts scene, and a head butt in a later scene, in order to achieve a "12" rating. Initial video releases used this same print. All cuts were waived in 2011, and is currently available uncut in the UK with a "12" certificate.

A lot of people have slammed Big Momma's House,but,appreciated on it's own levels,it's fairly enjoyable.There are some inventive laughs in the plot,Martin Lawrence is an effective comic performer as he had proved before in the excellent Bad Boys,although perhaps a little too crude and self styled in places.The plot seems a bit stretched out as well,but overall,this is much more engaging and funny than the awful Nutty Professor.**
