On Quartile, Big Mommas: Like Father, Like Son scores 4.5/10 across five categories — strongest on Plot (Below Average), weakest on Novelty (Well Below Average).
FBI agent Malcolm Turner and his 17-year-old son Trent go undercover at an all-girls performing arts school after Trent witnesses a murder. Posing as Big Momma and Charmaine, they must find the murderer before he finds them.
Big Mommas: Like Father, Like Son is a second sequel that adds little to an already thin premise. The plot is formulaic and by-the-numbers, recycling the same fat-suit disguise comedy with minimal invention. Acting is serviceable but unremarkable, with the material offering little opportunity for genuine performance. Cinematography is workmanlike studio comedy fare with no visual ambition. Novelty scores lowest as this is a highly derivative entry in an already unoriginal franchise, essentially repeating the same gags and situations from its predecessors. The ending resolves predictably with no surprises.
