Plot
Malcolm Turner (Lawrence) has been assigned a desk job as an FBI officer, since he wants to be with his new wife, Sherry Pierce (
Nia Long), during her delivery for her new baby boy. An incident occurs in Orange County where Malcolm's ex-partner, Doug Hudson (never shown, but was originally played by
Paul Giamatti) was killed while undercover. Malcolm's new partner, Kevin Keneally (
Zachary Levi) was doing surveillance on a former Military Intelligence Specialist by the name of Tom Fuller (
Mark Moses) who had retired and works for a private corporation. The FBI had reasons to believe that he was developing a virus which will create back doors into data stored on FBI/NSA's computers. Malcolm, saddened by this incident, asks his chief permission to go to Orange County, but he is refused. On the pretext of attending a safety conference, Malcolm leaves his home, taking with him the entire "Big Momma" costumes.
Malcolm goes undercover as the nanny in Fuller's house, beating other candidates for the nanny position (by exposing their weapons, as they were also undercovers). He meets the kids, Carrie (
Chloë Moretz), a 7-year old cheerleader, Andrew, a 3-year old child who loves to jump off heights and will not talk, and Molly (
Kat Dennings), a 15-year old rebellious teen. After neglecting his tasks, Malcolm is fired, but Mrs. Fuller changes her mind at the last minute.
