Brandon T. Jackson was a minor breakout in the cast of Tropic Thunder, playing the "actual black guy" Alpa Chino but, true to the character he played in the movie, outshone by Robert Downey Jr. in blackface. Since then it's been a tougher road for the guy, with much worse movies-- like Lottery Ticket and Percy Jackson and the Olympians-- filling up his resume. Lucky for Mr. Jackson, though, we know it can't get much worse. The first trailer for Big Mommas: LIke Father Like Son has hit over at MSN, and if gets worse than this for Jackson or Martin Lawrence or anyone else involved, I'd rather just not know about it.
A third Big Momma's House movie is a pretty easy target to pick on, and I'm not sure what to do other than tell you all to watch the trailer below with the same astonished look I had on my face. All you really need to know is that Jackson plays Martin Lawrence's son, and both have to go undercover as women, and for some reason wind up at an all-girl's arts school. Yes, Big Momma winds up modeling nude for a life-drawing class. Yes, during a dance class there's room for a joke about "That's why they call it the Nutcracker!" Yeah, I'm going to do what I said I'd do before, shut up and let you guys suffer through this as you so choose.
Big Mommas hits theaters February 18 next year, during that terribly depressing pre-Oscar winter release schedule. It's just going to be another one of those things we have to survive.
