A Chefinha

Little (2019) is a movie my fiancée and I caught in theaters as soon as it was released. The storyline follows a successful businesswoman who treats her employees-and even her closest colleague-terribly. One day, she is magically transformed into her younger self and must rely on the very people she mistreated to navigate challenges, including her career, finances, and most importantly, survival.

Directed by Tina Gordon (Peeples), the film stars Issa Rae (Insecure), Regina Hall (Scary Movie), Marsai Martin (Black-ish), and Justin Hartley (Smallville).

The storyline is predictable, as you might expect from this type of premise. The humor is a mix of clever and cheesy moments, balancing lighthearted entertainment with some eye-rolling gags. The acting, however, is solid, and the chemistry between the cast makes the film enjoyable. The characters are well-delivered, and their interactions provide enough charm to keep you engaged.

Little is the kind of movie that's fun while you're watching it-it delivers exactly what it promises-but it doesn't leave a lasting impression. It's good for what it is, but it's not a classic. I'd score it a 6-6.5/10.

This movie was trying to be funny, but didn't manage it and just came across as lame and cheesy. The acting left something to be desired, and I honestly just spent the whole film thinking "when is it gonna end? I'm bored". I don't recommend it.

Seriously, people need to lighten up and simmer down. This movie was cute and had plenty of funny parts (more than just what the commercials showed). It's not like an award winning sort of movie, where it leaves you thinking deep about what is life or saving the world from pollution or stuff like that lol.. it's a lighthearted chill movie.

The movie lacked a strong story, making the plot wishy washy and jumpy that being said, it was still a very enjoyable movie. The belly shaking laughs were mainly in the first half of the movie. It grew less funny when once the transformation actually happened.

Regina Halls role was executed very well and what made it more funny was that the characters were relatable to my own life. I feel if you cannot relate it to yourself, then this movie may not be for you.

Each performance in this movie is a winner. The laughs come naturally. 3 black female comic geniuses in one film is a tremendous accomplishment. I don't remember anything like this happening in film history. I think that the main problem was that Marsai Martin, plays an adult to well. Anyone that has seen her on Blackish knows, Diane was born 45 yrs old. In the scenes where she is with other children, there is no sense that she is childlike at all. It is at the Climax, finally, that we see a young girl just having fun. Other than that Little is a great movie for tweens and parents of tweens.
