FBI agents Malcolm (Lawrence) and Jack (Giametti) have been dispatched to find an escaped bank robber and attempt to find out where his girlfriend (Long), Sherry, is keeping the money from the heist. She is on the run from him, headed to her grandmother's house in small town Georgia. But before Sherry reaches her Big Momma's, Big Momma has to attend to sick friend out of town. Luckily, Malcolm is a master of disguises. He steps in and with the help of lots and lots of Latex and padding, becomes Big Momma to keep his eye on her. He has everyone fooled, even her suitor. The officers begin to doubt Sherry's involvement in the crime as they get to know her. And Malcolm becomes very interested in Sherry.
Great cameo by Cedric the Entertainer.
