Big Mommas: Like Father, Like Son

In this lively sequel, FBI veteran Malcolm Turner finds his world turned upside‑down when his teenage stepson lands a spot at a prestigious performing‑arts school. The contrast between Malcolm’s seasoned, undercover experience and Trent’s youthful ambitions sets the tone for a comedy that balances slap‑stick hijinks with heartfelt family moments. The film opens with the pair navigating the clash of their very different lives—Malcolm still entrenched in covert work, and Trent chasing a dream that feels just out of reach.

When a new case forces Malcolm back into disguise, he adopts an outrageous alter‑ego that brings him face‑to‑face with the vibrant, eccentric atmosphere of the all‑girls campus. Partnering with his great‑niece, the larger‑than‑life student Charmaine, they blend into the quirky world of rehearsals, rehearsed performances, and bustling hallways. The setting itself feels like a character, a colorful backdrop where art, ambition, and teenage drama swirl together, providing endless opportunities for comic missteps and unlikely alliances.

Against this backdrop, the dynamic between Malcolm and Trent drives the story forward. Their relationship oscillates between exasperated mentorship and genuine bonding, each learning to see the world through the other’s eyes. While Malcolm’s seasoned wit clashes humorously with the school’s flamboyant culture, Trent discovers unexpected confidence and friendship among the talented students. The film promises a tone of buoyant, family‑friendly humor, peppered with heartfelt moments, as the duo navigates the delicate balance of staying undercover while protecting each other in a place where every hallway could hide a laugh—or a surprise.
