Big Mammas: Like Father, Like Son has a wide range from critics to audiences

Looking at Rotten Tomatoes, this goes to show you the great divide between moviegoers and critics. Critics have a combine total of 9%, which is probably the reason the studio didn't even bother to screen it for critics. But, 70% of audiences liked the movie.

However, this movie only made like 19 million on its opening weekend. However, it should be noted that Big Momma II made 20 million its opening weekend and proceeded to make 138 million worldwide. And, the box office take was almost equal between North America and Foreign markets. So, this movie will probably become a hit.

And, to show you the studio had little faith in the movie, they released the first film (Big Momma’s House) on June 2, 2000.  That was right in the middle of the summer, meaning they were betting on a big box office take.  While the second movie was set in January, a known dumping ground, it was a hit.
