There's something about a plus-size floral housedress that brings out the best in many male comics, and Lawrence is no exception.

Boston Globe
It keeps its promise to throw an hour and a half of lively entertainment at audiences.

My guess is that the film will appeal equally to broad-minded 10-year-olds and their grandparents.

If you're not rolling in the aisles, you're definitely in the wrong theater.

Any movie that employs an oven mitt and a plumber's friend in a childbirth scene cannot be all bad, and I laughed a lot.

If you think that Martin Lawrence dressed up as a hefty grandmother is funny, be gone with you .For the rest of you, you'd be better off just taking a ride on the bus. The script.. .is off and stumbling over unfunny one-liners.
