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.
I can't say that this movie is superb or you have to watch it but this movie is not deserving 2.5 point. There are lots of comedy movies have much point but boring according to that movie. This movie won't give you the meaning of life, or maybe you will forget in a week but if you got bored and just have to watch a movie without overtiring your brain, you may have a good time. If you are expecting too much from this movie yes it maybe a big disappointment. I think Marlon Wayans has a good performance with his mimics and little man effect in the movie is good, too. You won't laugh so hard but just you may joy while watching. I am giving 6 over 10 for it.
Why is it that everyone downs comedies so much. This movie was ***king funny as f*ck! Are you kidding me? 3.7 rating only? Im glad all you losers didn't enjoy this, because while you were wasting 90 minutes of your life, me my wife and some buddies were laughing our asses off. The movie was way predictable, and unrealistic, but isn't everything you watch on TV like that? Take it for what it is, a movie. Bad acting? I honestly don't think it was that bad on that part. The wayans brothers did a pretty good job. I think the people who didn't like this movie were people who got offended from it. All i have to say for people who voted a 1 star to this movie is, go watch brokeback mountain or something. I highly recommend this movie if your having your friends over for a good laugh. (And cry)
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

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.

- TriviaThe scenes with Calvin were filmed twice: once with dwarf actors Linden Porco and Gabriel Pimentel together with the other actors, and once with Marlon Wayans alone wearing a green bodysuit against a green screen. In post-production, Porco's and Pimental's heads were replaced with Marlon's. Their bodies were also painted brown in order to match Marlon's face.
- Goofs(at around 21 mins) When Calvin is being examined, the doctor notes that the scar on his abdomen could be from an appendectomy. However, the scar is on Calvin's left side. Any doctor would know that the appendix is on the right side.
- Alternate versionsWhen aired on TV the scene where Little Man is giving the middle finger instead of being blurred out or recording the scene again like most TV edits it is digitally omitted to look like he is giving Grandpa the fist.
