The Minis

This mess makes "Tiptoes" look decent by comparison and is somehow even more tasteless and offensive towards little people. I'm amazed it was even greenlit.

Simple and boring story. A group of men with dwarfism unite and form a team called "The Minis" with Dennis Rodman to help them win a summer basketball competition.

All of the acting is horrible. Dennis Rodman stars as himself and once more proves he's got the acting talent of a log. He should have thrown in the towel after Double Team in 1997. Almost none of the characters are likeable and the actors aren't even trying because they know they're in a piss-poor movie. Natalia is a patronizing, gold-digger. Roger's son is a disrespectful little jerk, even if they do make up in the end. Even the minis aren't entirely sympathetic due to the number of unsportsmanlike acts they commit during the final game, like pantsing a Viper or hitting another in the balls.

There's bad cinematography and overused, confusing montages, and ridiculously corny sounding songs with lyrics relating to dwarfism. There's even one scene where Rodman throws an obvious and horribly rendered CGI model of Chevy to score a three-pointer. Everything looked and sounded awful in this.

All of the movies pathetic attempts at humor are just tasteless jabs at little people, like some idiotic scene with Roger trying to dislodge a stuck basketball with a palm leaf or Chevy getting stuck in a garbage can trying to retrieve a basketball from it.

The film may claim it's trying to deliver a message that anyone can succeed if they believe in themselves or try hard enough, even if they have a medical condition, but the quality of it is so bad, it fails miserably. It's no wonder this went straight to video.

This is the most comedian movie that I have fever song I am very happy to see this in the performers in this movie really good once again very good comedy movie for us that I cannot love in up to see this movie I hope from this will be the best movie in this crickets and I also happy to see my best actor in this movie that movie more stick and more funny see the movie to make you happy and this is nothing about this movie that would be not enoughly that I love this movie so much and it is too much to realistic and it is really a funny movie please everyone.. please everyone so this movie that would be a great enjoyable for you.

It's the end of the world as we know it: The Minis Are Coming! Actually, no. They're already here, being programmed on Sky twice a day for the entire month of December. I watched this movie years ago and it's just....... incredible.

I loved watching this movie and it was simply amazing.. The story goes like this...

My brother and I would occasionally make Friday trips to Family Video every couple weeks to pick out a few movies to watch over the weekend. My brother, knowing nothing about movies, would choose DVDs based on their covers exclusively. On one trip, he saw a cover that caught his eye. It was of a basketball player (unknown to him) surrounded by a group of little people. He showed it to me, thinking it looked funny. I rolled my eyes, but agreed. It looked so bizarrely ridiculous, it had to be a riot.

He rented the movie, brought it home and popped it in. I sat in, salivating at the thought of how crazy stupid an obscure comedy starring an ex-rebounding champion nicknamed "The Worm" would be. The next hour and change was shocking. After the first few minutes, I realized that I wasn't laughing. Maybe the jokes don't come until later, I thought. I waited another few minutes. Something's not right. An hour passed, and I realized what was going on. The Minis, the Dennis Rodman midget basketball vehicle, is not a comedy.

This movie is totally worth the time. It has a good plot and when you watch it you will find it amazing. This is the work of either a god or a monster..... or both!? The movie is pure genius. It's about "dwarfs playing basketball" and people review it like it's supposed to be an Oscar-winning drama. Reading some comments here is even funnier than the movie itself hahahaha. I demand special midnight screenings with people dressed up like the team and singing, the same way it's done for the Rocky Horror Picture Show. The Minis forever (this could be a good title for a sequel. Either this or The Maxis!!!)
