* EnsembleDarkhorse: Hattie Mae Pierce, the real Big Momma, only appears early in the first third of the movie and only returns in time for the climax, but she hands down has the some of the best lines and funniest scenes throughout the movie. Given that she doesn't appear in the sequels, it's considered to be one of the biggests strengths the first film has over its sequels.

* CriticProof: All three films weren't well-received by most critics, with the two sequel films in particular were critically ''destroyed''. Even with the negative critical reception, they've all still managed to be a box office success.

* Old Shame: Brandon T. Jackson has stated that he regrets doing the third film and only did it to work with Martin Lawrence and for the money. He said that everything went wrong for him when he had to wear the dress. This is coming from a guy who was pantsed in another movie six years earlier, revealing Uncool Undies.

* HilariousInHindsight: Ritha, played by Tichina Arnold is giving birth and Big Momma has to deliver the baby. When Big Momma tells her to close her legs, she snaps, "THEY DON'T CLOSE." To which Big Momma responds, "That might be how you got this way in the first place." Martin and Tichina's character Pam traded barbs constantly on Martin, so seeing them do the same in a movie, a few years after the show ended is pretty funny.

* {{Woobie}}: Sherry. She had to flee her home due to her psychopath ex-boyfriend. She's a single mother. She works two horrible jobs to lay low because of said ex-boyfriend. Upon returning to the home where her estranged grandmother lives, the place where she's always felt safe, it is eventually revealed that it ''wasn't even her grandmother.'' No, it was a guy in a fat suit pretending to be her grandmother so he could potentially ''bust her.'' The man who was trying to bust her, she eventually ends up dating. Not only that, but her "grandmother" kissed her on the lips, got an erection while in bed with her and made many inappropriate noises and comments about how attractive she was. Although her ex was finally put in jail, Sherry and Trent would be good candidates for therapy after such a harrowing experience!

* WhyWouldAnyoneTakeHimBack: Seriously, Malcolm pretended to be his love interest's grandmother just to get close to her. He even shared a borderline incestual kiss with her when he realized Sherry had no part in her ex-boyfriend's crimes. He got an erection while in bed with her, continuously catcalled her on the sly upon seeing her body and attempted to befriend her son, all in an effort to get close to her and solve the case. Yet at the end of the movie, Sherry forgives him and as the rest of the movies indicate, they even [[spoiler: get married]]!
