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?

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)

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 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

After leaving the prison, the dwarf criminal Calvin Sims (Marlon Wayans) joins to his moron brother Percy (Tracy Morgan) to steal an expensive huge diamond in a jewelry for the mobster Walken (Chazz Palminteri). They are chased by the police, and Calvin hides the stone in the purse of the executive Vanessa Edwards (Kerry Washington), whose husband Darryl Edwards (Kerry Washington) wants to have a baby. Percy convinces Calvin to dress like a baby and be left in front of the Edwards's house to get inside the house and retrieve the diamond. Darryl and Vanessa keep Calvin for the weekend and decide to adopt him, while Walken threatens Darryl to get the stone back.

I was curious to see "Little Man" after being nominated and awarded with the Razzie Award. Of course this film is not a masterpiece, but what else could I expect from a movie directed by Keenen Ivory Wayans? Honestly, if I did not like this genre, I would never spend my time watching it. This movie is politically incorrect, and has the same sub-standard of the franchises "American Pie" and "Scary Movie", or "The 40 Year Old Virgin", with many gross, scatological and low level jokes. But I laughed a lot, specially with the references to "Brokeback Mountain" and "Chucky". My vote is five.

Title (Brazil): "O Pequenino" ("The Little One")
