Little Man (2006)

There are no movies made on the subject of babies or children who think or react as adults. And yet, the Wayans still have the courage to make this "Little Man".The story (to qualify it somehow), is a pilfering from the 1954 Looney Tunes short "Baby Buggy Bunny"; and tells about Calvin, a thief of a meter of height (Marlon Wayans) that steals a diamond and hides it in the bag of a happy pair, Darryl and Vanessa (Shawn Wayans and Kerry Washington). The way to recover it will be impersonated as a baby. A baby, by the way, that goes unnoticed without anyone, at any time, suspect him. It must be that he does not grow a beard, and that it is normal for him to have a 32-piece dentition (or more, judging by the scenes in which Marlon Wayans opens his mouth, there are a few).As the script does not give for more than, say, about 10 minutes, the rest of the footage goes on to show us gags as novel as the supposed baby looking at Brittany Daniel's breasts, putting hand to several girls, or hitting the noble parts of almost every man who appears on the screen more than a second and a half. He's not into humor any more, of course. Also, this movie is very sexist, the female characters come out exclusively to serve as a sexual object, by the way (from Vanessa, the mother to Walken's girlfriend). But the Wayans Bros. are still in the 50's?In the end, in case you have not guessed it already, the thief becomes good, the father forgives that he is a delinquent who has been deceiving them, and the viewer leaves wanting to have given his money a better destination, as the bottom of a sewer. But most serious of all is that there will be people who even laugh. How the Wayans must be laughing, watching the people leave their rooms at the box office.And to finish, how I would have liked to act in that film as a policeman, where after capturing Walken and his bandits, forcing Walken's girlfriend to marry a Japanese man (because that actress was probably born in 1964, the year of the Olympics in Tokyo).

This movie stunk! Every actor in this movie was annoying, and the humor was tired. Nobody, not one person, noticed that the 'baby' was really a midget? Not even the doctor? There was one part, just one, that made me smile (not laugh, just smile), and it was near the end. It was when Calvin beat up the bad guy whenever the bedroom light went off, then the bad guy said 'Click' to fool Calvin into thinking he turned the light off again. But as somebody else mentioned, that was ripped off from a Bugs Bunny cartoon some 50 years before this movie was made! Still, since it made me smile, I've mercifully given this movie 2 stars instead of one. One funny moment in a movie that is supposed to be a comedy doesn't make it worth watching. Almost anything else is better than this.

Best movie I've seen in a month and I've seen some shitty movies! I read a pageful of flacking reviews for this saying the good ole "this is the worst movie I've seen". Oh, please. Once you get over the fact that Marlon Wayans is playing a cgi-faced baby you'd realize this is actually a not so bad comedy. In fact, it's very entertaining. And it actually has some heart, which is always a huge plus. Every actor does their job without a gripe. The only off-putting thing is when the "baby" goes off-character and becomes the thug he is, but that's part of the whole plot, so... In the end, comedy is always an acquired taste. Give this a shot if you like the Wayans Bros and mindless family fun!

Why is it that everyone downs comedies so much. This movie was ***king funny as f*ck! Are you kidding me? 3.7 rating only? Im glad all you losers didn't enjoy this, because while you were wasting 90 minutes of your life, me my wife and some buddies were laughing our asses off. The movie was way predictable, and unrealistic, but isn't everything you watch on TV like that? Take it for what it is, a movie. Bad acting? I honestly don't think it was that bad on that part. The wayans brothers did a pretty good job. I think the people who didn't like this movie were people who got offended from it. All i have to say for people who voted a 1 star to this movie is, go watch brokeback mountain or something. I highly recommend this movie if your having your friends over for a good laugh. (And cry)
