Big Momma’s: Like Father, Like Son
Are you guys ready for the third installment of the Big Momma’s House franchise?
If you are we’re more than happy to inform you that Faizon Love, Emily Rios, Portia Doubleday and Michelle Ang have signed to co-star in 20th Century Fox’s Big Mommas: Like Father, Like Son.
They join Martin Lawrence, Brandon T. Jackson and Jessica Lucas, and that’s quite interesting cast.
Check out the official synopsis: FBI Agent Malcolm Turner and his 17-year-old nephew Trent go undercover at an all-girls’ school for the arts, after Trent witnesses a murder. They pose, respectively, as Big Momma and Charmaine, in order to find evidence incriminating the murderer before he finds them.
So, we already know Lawrence will repeat his Big Momma role, T. Jackson will play Charmaine, while Rios, Doubleday (recently co – starred in Youth in Revolt) and Ang (that will appear in the Jodie Foster directed drama The Beaver) will play students at the school who befriend Jackson’s character.

That might be annoying of not for Michael Cera who, is doing something distinctly un-Cera with Twisp’s imaginary friend Francois. Bug-eyed and angry, it’s Francois Dillinger, as the only non-Cera character in the film, who makes watching Youth in Revolt worthwhile…read more [Cimena Blend]
Youth in Revolt is a very funny movie, but it’s also a bit too lightweight to give it real staying power. Twisp’s quest for sex and a girlfriend obviously presents its fair share of challenges, but as dramatic as they seem they’re all actually dealt with pretty succinctly and episodically. Getting Nick’s dad to move is as simple as having Sheeni make a fake phone call posing as a job offer… he moves and presumably starts the job, but if it was fake how exactly does he manage that? The details aren’t necessarily important, but without them the movie feels less complete…read more [FilmSchoolRejects]
