“The wig is back. The dress is back. And the chaos? Bigger than ever.”
After more than a decade, Malcolm Turner (Martin Lawrence) returns in the fourth installment of the beloved comedy series. This time, the mission is not only challenging but also… close to home: a high-profile cybercriminal has escaped and hidden within a normal family, and the FBI doesn’t know which member he is impersonating. The solution? Send in Big Momma — experienced, daring, and hilarious — into the suburban community to uncover the truth.
