Synopsis

FBI agent Malcolm Turner (Lawrence) is known best for being a master of disguise. Malcolm's latest assignment sends him to a small-town in Georgia, where he's assigned to trap a brutal bank robber and a recent prison escapee (Howard) who they suspect will be coming down to visit his ex-girlfriend Sherry (Long) 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; unknown 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 70 year old's everyday routine-from cooking soul food to delivering babies to "testifying" at the local church.
