Storyline
| Plot Summary |
FBI agent Malcolm Turner is known best for being a brilliant, master of disguise. Malcolm's latest assignment sends him to small-town Georgia, where he's assigned to trap a brutal bank robber (and a recent prison escapee) who they suspect will be coming down to visit his ex-girlfriend Sherry and her son. Malcolm sets up a stakeout across from the home of a larger-than-life southern matriarch known as Big Momma, who's about to be visited by Sherry. It's a simple plan, but there's one big problem: Unbeknownst to Sherry, Big Momma has unexpectedly left town. So Malcolm, decides to impersonate the cantankerous Southern granny. Using a few tricks of disguise, he completely transforms himself into Big Momma, even taking on the corpulent septuagenarian's everyday routine-from cooking soul food to delivering babies to "testifying" at the local church. In the mean time, Malcolm starts falling for Sherry, who may or may not be hiding some stolen cash. Now, Malcolm/Big Momma must somehow find a way to nab his criminal and the girl.

| Trivia | Nia 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." See more » |
| Goofs | In 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. See more » |

| 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? See more » |
