Big Mommas: Like Father, Like Son

The story centers on FBI agent Malcolm Turner, played by Martin Lawrence, who teams up with his 17-year-old son Trent to solve a murder witnessed by Trent. To do this, they both assume disguises—Malcolm as Big Momma and Trent as Charmaine, a character introduced in this installment. The father-son dynamic adds a new layer to the undercover operation, shifting the tone slightly from previous entries.

John Whitesell directed this third installment after the original director, Raja Gosnell, did not return. The change brought a fresh approach to the series while maintaining its comedic and action-driven style. The cast features Brandon T. Jackson as Trent, alongside Jessica Lucas and Portia Doubleday, who portray students at the performing arts school where much of the film is set.

Big Mommas: Like Father, Like Son fits within the broader Big Momma's House Collection, which collectors may find interesting for its continuity of themes and characters. Its runtime of 107 minutes keeps the pacing brisk, balancing humor with crime-solving elements. The film was produced by Regency Enterprises, New Regency Pictures, and Friendly Films, continuing the collaboration behind the franchise.

Physical media collectors can find this film on DVD, Blu-ray, and other formats, making it accessible for those interested in the series. The film’s presence across multiple formats offers options for different preferences in collections. Its placement in a known franchise and its unique father-son undercover premise contribute to its niche appeal among fans of crime comedies and disguise-based humor.
