Big Momma's House: Like Father Like Son is a comedy. At the beginning of the film, we see a car chase, we all assume that it cant be something too serious otherwise would ruin the comedy genre that this film has. So just like the audience would have assumed the car chase turned out to be a local resident (who happens to be a police officer) who wanted the mail man to give him his letters to see whether or not his son got into college. Comical? It had me chuckling. There are also jokes that are made from the mailman for example when
the resident (main character) pulls him over and he says 'please let there be someone taping this in the bushes' this wit used, is there to make the audience laugh. With jokes made early on, it is what we expect from a comedy and therefore the viewers will continue watching as they may think it is a good film, and will stick around to see more. The music in this scene is up beat and 'jolly' creating a friendly tone to the film.
This comedy doesnt struggle with the jokes, pretty much every other line is a punch line. But it isnt over done so that it becomes cringey. I think the opening scene shows that this film have found the balance between the humour and the seriousness that goes with it.
I haven' seen the film before but after watching the opening scene, I would definatley like to see the film, I think an element of this is because i can relate to this, being a teenager myself.
