Little Man

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

I was expecting a complete and total disaster of a film when I saw the trailer for "Little Man", not to mention that it's on the bottom 100 on IMDb, and those ratings are usually pretty accurate. But I liked "White Chicks", I proudly admit, and I like the Waynes brothers, wither you want to admit it or not, they give you a few good laughs in most of their films. So, I figured to just try to give Little Man a chance, what harm could it do? Honestly, it wasn't that bad, I actually had a decent time watching this.

Calvin is a two foot criminal on the run with a hundred thousand dollar diamond and while running from the cops, puts it in a lady's purse. Cal and his partner follow the couple and since Calvin is so little and the couple, Darryl and Venessa, wants a baby, Cal dresses up as one and the couple takes him in. Thinking it will be for a short while, Cal does this hoping to get the diamond and run, but it won't be easy since Darryl is dedicated to being a good dad.

Like I said, I was expecting something really bad, but I had a couple laughs during the film. I honestly don't understand what people have against the Waynes brothers, while Little Man is in no way Oscar material, it was a silly comedy with a few light hearted laughs.

5/10

I didn't expect this movie to be huge and I didn't expect it to suck either. And I was right, the movie was right in between. It started off funny, then it got hilarious, then it got all serious. The serious part was kind of badly placed but oh well.

The acting. Well obviously you'll know it's stupid because you have what a 40 year old playing a 1 year old? The rest of the cast is pretty bad except the grandpa....I don't know why but I think he did a good job and he was the only good actor in the movie.

The comedy was funny to me. Maybe because I'm only 14 and maybe because I have an immature sense of humor? But I laughed pretty darn hard at times in this movie and a few hard chuckles here and there as well. I liked the comedy in this movie and I wish they would have kept it up through the whole movie.

The movie was alright over all, if I want some laughs I would watch it again, and I would recommend it to my friends but I don't think the older audience would enjoy this movie.
