OMG!! Regina Hall is totaly tailored to her character. She brought her character to alive!! Her attitude in the movie is so funny! Also, the young actress is super talented. She is going to shine in Hollywood. The storyline is okay but I really enjoy their acting.

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.

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.

It's not amazing but it's a good watch. Chick flick film and funny a feel good movie, anyone who says it's rubbish must be miserable

First off this movie was way too long for what it was. The story was the same as many before it. There were some funny moments, but the length of the film made you feel restless waiting for it to end

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 is trash. I dont understand how this got a theatrical release. The comedy is off, the editing is stifled and choppy, disconnected, and doesn't have any flow from one element to the next. I literally thought that I had zoned out for five minutes because I was somewhere else in the movie and didn't know how I got there.

I love this genre. It is really hard for me not to like this genre. I love 17 again, 13 going on 30, big, like father like son, freaky Friday, you name it. This was garbage. How do you screw this up?! I left the theater in the middle of the movie. I've never done that! I was embarrassed to watch it. The weird thing was the people with me in the theater were laughing tits at it. I still don't get it.

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.

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.

It had its funny moments, but I don't appreciate the sexual advances of a young child on grown men. That was disturbing and disgusting. It would have been so much better to keep things cute and funny.

This won't be an in depth review. This is in case people are judging by the currently low stars. I'm wondering if those those people actually saw the movie because I laughed the whole time, as did all the other people in the crowded theater i was in.

Yeah, there's been other movies with similar plots, but this was a fresh and modern take without being over the top pc like so much of what comes out of Hollywood today. Rather than be lectured by a movie, I want to take a break from my own responsibilities, be entertained,and in this case laugh. This did that.

I was incredibly impressed by Marsai Martin. I was very surprised at how seamlessly she stepped into the grown character and made it feel like I was really watching the mini version of the character I'd just seen Regina Hall playing.

If you're debating, just go see it.

All of the cast are comedically talented and clearly committed to the film, making it a worthwhile, easy watch. Unfortunately, it could have used some attention to pacing at times, and I'm surprised they didn't hear that from test audiences and heed it before they completed the final cut. It's genuinely enjoyable overall, though, and a lighthearted escapist visit to the movies. (And I'm personally thankful for some relief from way too many DC and Marvel flicks clogging up theater screens everywhere).

It's hard to tell who this movie is for, children or adults. It's too boring for adults but many adult scenes make it unsuitable for children. The worst thing is that it's unbearable to watch if you are sitting next to your children to watch it in a "family night". My mother and sister fell asleep, and if I wasn't hungry/in need of a bathroom, I would have too. Speaking of which, it's impossibly long for what it is. It does not use time effectively at all. It's poorly written and detailed where it shouldn't while undetailed where it should. I can only praise it's diverse cast, but it's ruined with poor lines, poor jokes and overall terrible plot. The concept in Big, is exploring what a creative and eager mind of a child, could do with the "freedom" of an adult; it was basically, magical. This movie, on the other hand, very poorly explores the bitterness of childhood. Not only it was not magical, but barely anything of the plot relied on being "little", but rather most of the plot centered on the adult life of the "little" person. Because, so *little* emphasis was dedicated to the young life of the main character, conflict resolution felt poorly executed, unrealistic and essentially, corny and cringe-worthy as hell. One of the reasons I was talked into watching this movie was the acting of the child main character, which, was ok, but not enough to make the movie one bit interesting. There are one, or two laughs in the movie as well, and for a moment, one might thing the movie is not totally hopeless, but you'll soon noticed that you'll be disappointed. Also, it's crazy how lots of reviews are essentially *bad* reviews, but they give the movie scores like 6/10. I think they just want to be "kind" or maybe they are shy about giving bad reviews a bad score. Or maybe they think 6/10 is a bad score, but don't be fooled. This movie is a solid 1/10, at most 2/10 if you are a child, perhaps.

Quite a few reviews mention how did this get released. Humorless and poorly executed. Timing is a problem the film is too long. It might have been better filmed as a short. Big, Seventeen Again, Freaky Friday and 17 again, were all great movies. Little is painfully dull.

It sucks cause that trailer made this look like it was going to be the funniest movie around, but the follow up from the producers of Girls Trip, made a movie not as funny as Girls Trip. I'm gonna say it's attempt to appeal to both 38 year old women and the 13 year olds they may turn into pulls this movie in two directions and loosened whatever hold they tried to have on me. The joke got repetitive. The movie is about a grown women stuck in a child's body and they ran with it but it got tired real quick. Decent acting was a saving grace, but could not save a plot that seems worn out from the very frist scene.

Along with a friend, I saw this back in February as part of a preview screening. We were both asked to sign a non-disclosure agreement which prevented us from posting reviews online prior to now. Totally understandable, as the movie is complete and utter garbage and the studio obviously didn't want bad reviews up before its release.

There are a number of "reviews" giving this film 9 - or even 10 - out of 10. Sockpuppetry at it's finest. For example, see "beliiu"'s review. A brand new member giving a stinker like this 10 out of 10? Hmmmm...

Anyway, to the film itself: my friend and I walked out after an hour - and we *never* do that. The acting is incredibly bad, the jokes fall completely flat; it's simply terrible. As others have alluded to, this movie has been made before and made much, much better in the past (Tom Hanks in 1988's "Big", for example).

Please don't waste your time or money on this movie. As I write this, the IMDB rating sits at 5.4 out of 10. Clearly, the ratings are being manipulated. Don't be fooled. This is one of the worst movies I've ever seen. I generally don't bother writing reviews, but the blatant sockpuppetry and rating manipulation going on here got my back up. If I can save one person from wasting their valuable time and money, I'll consider it my good deed for the week. Thanks for reading.

This movie was so bad I had to write my first review. Not sure how this was even cleared to go to theaters. Absolutely cringe worthy with atrocious acting. I don't even know what else to say. Save your time and money. Water evaporating from a cup is much better entertainment than this.

Overall, it was enjoyable. Rarely roaringly hilarious, but full of moments for quick chuckles and smiles despite the overt familiarity. Which leads into the main problems in that it doesn't really push any new boundaries or pull any surprises. The jokes are standard for the situations, and those scenes are also what you'd come to expect if you've seen many in the genre.

But I had fun, and the cast are all great.

So the idea of switching bodies and girl going young and all is not new .. how it all ends is kinda expected .. but it is a sweet movie ... the cast are likable bunch of people i think they made it look somewhat good.

I previously watched Marsai Martin in Blackish ,, so i like the little girl from before and I "for a bit" expected that she'll embrace her role of that strong a$$ smart "evil-ish" kid so it was good.. also loved Regina Hall and Issa Rae as much ..

The movie fine mixture of mediocre Fantasy and above average comedy .. watched it ;)

I didn't laugh once. It's just not funny. No offense to the little girl I think it was the script. I couldn't force a laugh out while watching this.

I think the problem with this movie is the directing, It had talented actors and also they look and act bad (Not the assistant). The story was all over the place, try to make a lot of thing matter, not funny and awkward moments trying to get the child make adult things.

It looks like a good production but a very bad movie. The director and writer didn't make the important parts matter, it was flat.

I really was looking forward to watch this movie, so disappointed. Forgettable, I couldn't remember some of the names at the end of the movie.
