Little Man

First off, I definitely don't think this movie deserves to have such a low rating. Mind you, I thought this movie was going to reek to high heaven when I saw the trailers. My expectations were extremely, extremely low. I enjoyed the other films the Wayans Bros. did. There is no doubt that they are all talented comics. I just feel that they're a little overrated. Sometimes people seem to talk about the Wayans Bros. like they're the new Zucker brothers. I don't think they will EVER reach those heights in comedy. One of the things I feared about "Little Man" was most of the humor was going to consist of bathroom gags. The movie has its small share of bathroom humor, but never overdoes it. After seeing the previews for movies like "The Pacifier," I was afraid there was going to be some joke involving diaper-changing. Stuff like that was funny back when "Three Men and a Baby" came out, but now it just makes me want to roll my eyes and cringe. "Little Man" didn't have one of those stupid gags, and that was a breath of fresh air for me. I found myself laughing through about 70% of the film, and the cast does a fine job. The only weak link was Tracy Morgan, who was funny on SNL, but the character he plays in this movie is just plain obnoxious. The gorgeous Brittany Daniel, who was also in "White Chicks," provides some great eye candy. And the monotone-speaking comedian Fred Stoller provides some really funny, scene-stealing moments. Even Chazz Palminteri gets into the act, playing a gangster (I know, not exactly a stretch for him, but he adds some class to the film). Keep on the lookout for Rob Schneider, who has an amusing cameo. And last but not least, John Witherspoon never fails to please. Marlon Wayans's rubberfaced comedy style gets a little annoying at times, but I can't deny that the mere image of him as a midget is pretty damn hilarious. My advice is ignore the low rating and tons of bad reviews and give the film a chance. As I said before, I thought this was just going to be another brainless comedy

This film is not to be taken too seriously. Its lighthearted fun. Surprised by the low rating on here. Its definitely not an Oscar contender but definitely not as bad as many other films that are rated higher. Some moments are quite funny.

Slapstick comedy developed into mindless comedy which has devolved into crude humor comedy.

But, come on folks, how low are we willing to sink in the name of a giggle or two? This movie is so mindless, and panders to such a low humor in its 'target' audience it should be embarrassing to Americans to think that anyone among us would find this approach worth paying money for. The more people there are who pay to see this movie, the more it proves what bad tastes we have.

Let me encourage us to be better than that! Show the money guys in Hollywood there really is a point of classlessness that we won't allow them to sink below in the pursuit of profit from us!! We may not have the world's most refined tastes in this country, but, surely we are better than the "below low brow" class this movie thinks we have?

A criminal, 2'6, is released from jail. He learns from his mistake to not use a gun. Now he, with his friend, robs a jewelery store. Once leaving the diamond in a lady's purse, the duo tries to get it back by making the short criminal, Calvin, a baby, which the lady and her husband always wanted.

First off, in my opinion, I found this film funny. It's not as funny as White Chicks but it's funny and it's a good film. It's certainly not the worst film. I'm probably one of the people who like these films. The others would probably hate it.

The acting is decent in the film. The technology of putting Marlon Wayans' head on top of Linden Porco's body is good. They sure spent most of their time doing it and it paid off.

The jokes are funny and clever at some times. There are some usual fart jokes and physical humor, which is fine by me. It's not nearly as bad as I thought people have said it was. It's not even close to being a bad film. There are even some sweet moments in this film. I am NOT joking!

What will the Wayans think of next? First, a spoof, next, two black men in white make-up, and now this?! It's amazing. This is just entirely my opinion. You may disagree me as much as you want. I don't care. I thought this film was funny and sweet. You may think it's just a horrible comedy and think of why would they spend so much time and money in this project. Agree with me or not, I thought this film was funny. If you liked White Chicks, you would certainly like this film.

I promise that this review will be very little since there is not much to say about the latest Wayans Brothers short film "Little Man". OK, so maybe it is not that short in running time but it does fall short on witticism. Marlon Wayans stars as Calvin, the midget convict who pretends to be a baby to a married couple that inadvertently possesses a jewel which he wants to seize. Shawn Wayans & Kerry Washington play the gullible couple. Director Keenan Ivory Wayans does size "Little Man' up a bit with a few "ga-ga" gag scenes featuring pseudo-baby Calvin, but not enough for "Little Man" to stand tall as a favorable comedy. *** Average
