BIG MOMMA'S HOUSE

“This FBI agent is going undercover... and he's concealing more than a weapon.”

When a street-smart FBI agent is sent to Georgia to protect a beautiful single mother and her son from an escaped convict, he is forced to impersonate a crass Southern granny known as Big Momma in order to remain incognito.
