HILARIOUS! One of the best comedies ever created!

This movie is funny. You won't be giggling, no- you'll be rolling inthe seats laughing! What a great movie-going experience! Better than"Pirates!" The Wayans crew do it again! If there is one movie to seethis year, this is it. With sophisticated humor blended nicely withslapstick and memorable jokes, this is a near perfect example of whatcinema should be- thought-provoking and a good time.A cult-classic for all ages, this film has a grand plot. A midget hasto pose as a baby! Hilarity ensues. I will certainly buy the DVD- andanother for my nephew! So go ahead, head down to your local theater,get the biggest popcorn they offer, and just have a blast with LittleMan!

This film is a wretched assault upon the soul of mankind. It attempts, and fails, to find humour in rape, scatology, sexual assault, and paedophilia.

America. A land of freedom, of hope and of dreams. This is the nationthat, since its independence, has striven to bring democracy,prosperity, and peace to the entire world, for the good of all mankind.There are times, however, when one cannot help but wish that theAmerican's would just stay on their side of the Atlantic. This 'movie' (and I use that word with some reservations) evokes thesefeelings with an intense purity. This vision of hell follows theadventures of Calvin, a freakish jewel thief who was created byattaching the severed head of Marlon Wayan onto the body of a twofoot-high dwarf. After inadvertently dropping a large diamond into thehandbag of Vanessa, a career-woman who is reluctant to have children,Calvin realises that in order to recover the diamond he must ingratiatehimself with her. So, as any normal man would, Calvin dresses himselfup as a 2 year-old and parks himself upon the poor woman's doorstep,where he is discovered by Darryl, the broody husband of Vanessa. Darryl incongruously falls for Calvin's disguise despite the fact thatthe 'baby' has a full set of teeth, stubble, a tattoo, a knife-scar,and the sex-drive of a 16-year-old. Even more absurdly, Vanessa doesn'tsee past Calvin's baby-wear either and actually attempts to breastfeedthe diminutive pervert. This wretched assault upon the soul of mankindattempts, and fails, to find humour in rape, scatology, sexual assault,and paedophilia, however, in a dishonest attempt to transform itselfinto a piece of 'family-entertainment' the Wayan brothers stir in asickening amount of sentiment and flawed morality. The brothers dim attempt a Freudian rehabilitation of their thievingrapist by revealing that he "had a bad father". Repeatedly hittingDarryl in the crotch enables Calvin to develop the loving father-sonrelationship that both he and Darryl have always wished for. As if thiswasn't ridiculous enough, Calvin's attempts to sexually assault Vanessasomehow convince her that it is selfish for a woman to indulge herselfwith a successful career, and that instead she should spend her lifeplaying the role of the housebound little-woman, who spends her timealternatively squeezing out babies and cooking for her husband. In this movie the Wayan brothers have mixed their crass and twistedform of humour together with the clichéd sentimentality that hasinfected much of Hollywood's recent body of work. Additionally, theyare endemic of the current generation of black comedians who areresponsible for transforming African-American humour into a poor andwretched shadow of itself that over-indulges in fart-jokes and crudesexual gags. By rights these two should be legally barred from pickingup anything even remotely resembling a camera ever again. Unfortunately the current artistic and moral bankruptcy of Americancinema means that by this time next month they will undoubtedly havefilmed two sequels and be making millions of dollars from tackymerchandising deals.

Littleman- Is Worth Very Little *1/2

Inane farce about a young black couple. He wants to have a child andshe is so happy to get a promotion at work.In the meantime, a dwarf leaves prison and plots with another dimwit tosteal a large diamond. They're both working for Chazz Palminteri whocomes off as a real stiff here.When the diamond gets into the possession of our young couple, Wayansmakes believe he has been abandoned at their door. Here is where thereal foolishness starts. Wayans acts as a baby and we're subjected tofoolish situations such as the use of a rectal thermometer, touchfootball and of course the mob going after everyone for that preciousdiamond.The diamond might be precious but the movie is far from that. Disposeof it, please.

Whats up with the bad reviews? Hilarious!!!!!

This is suspose to be an immature humor comedy; and that is exactly what it is! It was so funny! The whole place was full of laughter. I was no exception. Neither were my kids. We laughed so much. After reading the reviews I wasn't sure if I wanted to spend my money on it; but boy I'm glad I did.

There's something I need to get off my chest.

So, has it really come to this? Are we, as consenting adults, to blamefor the next generation of cinema-goers lack of cinematic understandingand celluloid capability? Concerning the Wayans and Co. latest additionto the moving pictures scenario; Little Man. This United Kingdom P.G.(Parental Guidance), anyone under the age of twelve must be accompaniedby a responsible adult, certificated movie, is the epitome of what hasnow developed into the worse case of dumbing down since cigarettes were"wiped out" from pictures of movie icons of the 1950's.The predominantly under twelve's audience here who, some without grownup supervision too, sat there, obediently, taking it all in, obliviousto their subject and the partly grown up features that Little Manportrays, in part at least too. Movies, in general, can do better thanthis poor attempt, while this nonsense is getting them in while theyare still young and fresh, the biggest fear for the future of Cinema isthat a child's ignorance just might carry on through to a grown upbliss. Cinema deserves more than this, and so do its ever growing, andin the literal sense too, audiences, this blatant cash cow feeds on theever-impressionable minds of the young.There is no Cinema experience here, no open eyed wonder, noawe-inspiring respect to the magic of movies'. There is nothing butbewilderment and contempt, for the lack of substance, originality andits delivery of mind less tedium and parody of everything that is sonow ultimately wrong with the Hollywood machine, for the sake of aquick buck, we must endure our future cinema audiences to the likes ofthis archetypal disaster movie.Will this have the likes of Hitchcock, Fassbinder, Leone, Kubrick andSchaffner reeling in their graves? Money they all liked, no doubt, buttalent and exuberance for perfection and quality, and to a vast degree,respect for their profession and audience, they were never short off.We are seeing, once again, with the works of the Wayans clan anothercliché of bad taste, while the likes of White Chicks (2004) were in nodoubt a stab at the bourgeoisie of American society. The irony here isthat the two leading protagonists, played yet again, by the Wayansbrothers, are so much undercover, that all recognition is non-existent,this makes for a better movie too, and it is the actor Terry Crews thatgives White Chicks its substance and personality, not the Wayans.Yet again, with their pastiche of 1970's Blaxploitation movies, as withthe 1988 movie I'm Gonna Git You Sucka, this to can be seen as acomical and amusing movie, with heavy weights as Isaac Hayes, JimBrown, Bernie Casey and the gorgeous actress Ja'net Du Bois. The pointbeing, that Little Man has absolutely no persona of any kind what soever, he is shallow and narcissistic, with no appreciation or valuetoward his followers, he quickly dives in takes your money and beforewe know it, has hidden himself within the cogs of commercialism. Thereis no recognisable effort as to where our money has been spent, afterScary Movie (2000), things could only have gone up, but alas they didnot, no great pondering of artistic value and no doubt that theinstalment from these intrepid movie moguls' next movies shall bestraight to video, one can only hope.The Wayans seem to have created a movie genre all by themselves, to acertain extent; they have bludgeoned to death the movie parody, theyhave watered down each and every avenue and with their inevitablestyle. They have slowly destroyed the reputation of the last onehundred years that Cinema have given us, may the ghosts of movies pastbe ever so humble in their judgement, as their growing audiences, sofar, seem to be, for when the bubble bursts, may they be asunderstanding too.

Don't Believe The Hype

Little Man is the most over-hyped, unfunny, and immature movie made. Itstars Shawn and Marlon Wayans, who were great together in Don't Be AMenace and in The Wayans Bros., so you would think it would be a goodmovie. The Wayans Brothers even promoted the movie themselves on bothBET and Comedy Central. There were commercials for Little Man runninground the clock on every television channel out there. Sure, what theywere showing on the commercials didn't seem that funny, but, hey, itstars Shawn and Marlon, right? Well, I had a felling the movie wouldsuck, and it did. My brother and I didn't laugh once, and we love theWayans Brothers comedy. The movie was lame. But the 8 year old kids inthe theater couldn't stop laughing.

This is the worst movie ever created...

...Ever. This is the bottom. I am not joking. The theater should've hada warning of some kind. 'Abandon all hope ye who enter here' would'vebeen fitting.I don't have the words to describe accurately the hell that this movieis. Its debilitating stupidity even fails to amuse. This movie isdefinitely aimed at some of the slower turtles in the sandbox. Thestory was blatantly stolen from a 10 minute Bugs Bunny cartoon and thenstretched like Mr. Fantastic to 90 excruciatingly painful minutes.I remember when the Wayans's were funny. I guess the pressures ofHollywood for them to produce produce produce are to blame for the poopthat churns out at a consistent rate. I'm sad and offended that theythink we are stupid enough to enjoy 90 minutes of kick-in-the-ballsjokes with a thin plot based on a cartoon.I disliked nearly everything about this movie. I won't spoil anythingbut the baby is actually a midget with Marlon Wayans's face poorlysuperimposed over the midget's body. What I DID like was the ending.Not the movie's resolution, but the actual end where we all stood upand walked out.I gave this movie one star, but it clearly deserves less. I don't feelthat the six minutes they spent writing the script is worth a star.This does deserve a Razzie and I pray to God it gets it.When are people going to learn; if you stop paying to see this idiocythey will stop pooping it out. Seppuku is a reasonable alternative tothis film. Avoid it at all costs. You have been warned.

WATCH THIS FILM!!! Its not as bad as users have rated it

I'll admit that my expectations of "Little Man" were not very high. Itseemed as though it was going to be a cheesy movie that had no specificaudience. But.... after watching "Little Man" I don't know whyeverybody seems to hate this film. It has amazed me that it has enteredthe "IMDb bottom 100". The facial expressions of Calvin are hilariousand the special effects team have spent months creating, editing andfinalising his character. there are many hilarious scenarios, they maybe predictable but they are better than i would have expected.everybody please lay-off "Little Man" and respect a truly hilariousfilm.

Silly Movie

About 3 hilarious moments out of the whole movie - not good. Creative concept that wasn't carried through well. They need better writers. The Wayans (except perhaps Damon) are more silly-stupid than funny.

One great move

This was a great move and so funny. We loved it so much. We thank you

Blasphemously Bad

I first caught wind of this movie in a trailer. The TRAILER looked sobad that there was a split second of audible silence in the theaterwhen it was over, and someone groaned out: "That looks awful!" Yes. Itdid.And, let me tell you, this movie IS awful. That it exists shakes myfaith in humanity. I can only imagine the studio executives beingwhite-guilted into saying yes to this intelligence-insulting piece ofcinematic dung.Perhaps the studio pigs were afraid that if they said no and explainedthat the movie sounded like a more idiotic version of a well-known BugsBunny cartoon, they might be seen as racist and condescending. Sad.Equally sad is the prospect that the executives thought that blackaudiences are so stupid that they would enjoy this film and that thestudio could cash in.I saw this movie with black people. They did not like it any more thanI, in case you were curious.This "film" may have done some irreparable damage to the Wayansbrothers' careers. I hate to say it, but if this is the best they cando these days (compare this to the brilliant "I'm Gonna get You Sucka"and weep) then they deserve to be mopping mens' rooms.

That all changes one day when a known thief namedCalvin drops a priceless diamond in Vanessa's bag at a drug store.After he and his partner named Persy escape a robbery. In order to getthe diamond back, and Calvin is the height of a one year old, Calvinpretends to be a baby left on their door step. They take him in, andthat's all I will tell. Let me tell to be prepared for a wild ride oflaughter. This movie somewhat reminds me of Bringing Down the House inways. So check this movie out if you are ready for some laughter.

Waste of time, effort, and money.

When I saw that IMDb users rated this movie the bottom 250 movies, Ithought it was too harsh but little did I know that the low rating wasabsolutely correct.I am a big fan of the Wayans brothers. I loved their Scary Movie 2 andeven enjoyed White Chicks. Little Man, however, had very few laughs andthe jokes were stale.Obviously, the joke will revolve around Marlon Wayans, who plays agrown midget that was recently let out of prison. He and his partner,Tracy Morgan, steal a diamond meant for a gangster. Things go awry andthe midget has to place the diamond with an unsuspecting couple playedby Shawn Wayans and Kerry Washington. In order to get the diamond back,the midget pretends to be an abandoned baby left on the unsuspectingcouples doorstep. Of course, he is taken in and the drama begins onquest for the diamond.The movie has some actors and actresses from Saturday Night Live likeMolly Shannon and Rob Schneider as well from In Living Colour. Allthese talents, however, cannot help the poor script and the jokes whichsimply was not funny.The special effects to make Marlon Wayans to look like a midget was OK.I mean, it was not 100% believable but it was OK...nothing great. Ijust wish that the Wayans brothers had put more effort into developinga script with good jokes rather than trying to shore up their poorscript with cameos from their famous comedic actors and actresses.Wait for it on cable or television. It really is not worth any amountof money.

Hello

The Wayans Brothers once again deliver a laugh out loud comedy. It wasa little stupid, (sad to say because I LOVE the Wayans Bros) but it wasstill funny. Shawn Wayans stars as a husband who wants to start afamily. When he hears that his wife is not ready to have a child, Derry(Shawn) gets disappointed. Meanwhile, a baby sized criminal and hispartner in crime steal an expenzive diamond, and end up hiding it inDerryl's wife's purse. To retrive his diamon, Calvin (Marlon) disguiseshimself as a baby and gets delivered at Derryl's doorstep. This seemsto be the PERFECT situation for a wanna be father, isn't it? WRONG ILOVED this movie! Kind of dumb, but, hey, who cares?

"Do you crochet?"

This film???/shameful money grab from some once respected actors, whoall should be very very ashamed of their involvement (Chazz Palminteri,Tracy Morgan, Kerry Washington), was celluloid flatulence. Theschiesters cost me another $7 on top of the 2 @ $6.50 matinée ticketsfor munch-ables, so I would stop snoring. It was my aunts B-day. She picked the movie. She is black oriented.Shame on them for capitalizing on that sad fact (the only black moviein town). I couldn't sit there and snore through the entire thing; itwould have ruined her B-day experience. In my eyes the small popcorn and cherry Icee should have been payed forby Keenan. Movie...$16.......Popcorn & Ice cold beverage to hold on tosobriety...$7....knowing I will never see another Wayansproduction....Priceless (MasterTard...what you felt like afterward)To the credit of HBO, SHO, & Skinnemax....they are more finicky thanthe box office, so it may not make it to main-stream cable. But if youhave Starz you may get the opportunity to have it embedded into yourmonthly bill after all, at which point I highly urge you to fill thetime with something useful as well....Do you crochet? might I suggestthis is time to learn.

Couldve been a little bit better

First off, don't watch this thing expecting it to be anywhere near as funny as Scary Movie. It's PG rated, not R, so get it through ya thick skulls that it's a family movie and is not going to have adult only humor.Little Big Man is about a small guy who is released from prison and the first thing he does is steals a diamond with someone and some things go wrong and the diamond ends up being placed into an innocent womans hand bag. Then to get the diamond back they decide to not just mug her for it, but the little guy has a shave and pretends to be an abandoned baby left on there door step. But the little guys plans to just be in and out with the diamond go wrong and he ends up staying longer then he expected pretending to be a baby.I kind of liked the idea of it, a midget pretending to be a baby and getting up to things that only a plot like that could deliver. There are some decent gags in the film, but there are also those that didn't work and those that could've been done much better... quite frankly i'd enjoy a nurse on Alex Borsteins knee, but they played it out like she was hideous which I thought didn't work at all. Plus, the fart/poop jokes couldve been done allot better, but there are still some decent gags in the film.I wouldn't say it's ever going to be a classic comedy, but neither was White Chicks but you can still sit from start to finish and watch it without being bored, unless you're just expecting something huge to happen, but as I said, don't expect huge laughs like they have previously made.My 6 year old niece watched it with me and laughed at different things to me, she loved it, and wants to watch it again, so it has replay value to some.Overall: don't go in expecting it to be something huge, its not, its more a family comedy and the only thing I didn't like was the end of it.
