    not deserve that low point

    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.

    Funny (and WAY Underrated)

    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.

    Silly fun

    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.

    Short on plot but a few huge laughs

    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

    Sad commentary

    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?

    Storyline

    • Trivia
      The 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.
    • Quotes

      [from trailer]

      Calvin: Baby, up up.

    • Alternate versions
      When 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.
