At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.
The best films of this genre always show a path and provide a takeaway for being a better person.
This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.
It's OCCASIONALY funny , but overall the movie wasn't that good ... Could have been a lot better BUT it lack of a solid plot. Character's IQ in this movie seems to be down the line . No one is smart enough to be suspicious about what's going on. The idea of the film was something new but they couldn't make it right with the horrible screenplay
There are no movies made on the subject of babies or children who think or react as adults. And yet, the Wayans still have the courage to make this "Little Man".The story (to qualify it somehow), is a pilfering from the 1954 Looney Tunes short "Baby Buggy Bunny"; and tells about Calvin, a thief of a meter of height (Marlon Wayans) that steals a diamond and hides it in the bag of a happy pair, Darryl and Vanessa (Shawn Wayans and Kerry Washington). The way to recover it will be impersonated as a baby. A baby, by the way, that goes unnoticed without anyone, at any time, suspect him. It must be that he does not grow a beard, and that it is normal for him to have a 32-piece dentition (or more, judging by the scenes in which Marlon Wayans opens his mouth, there are a few).As the script does not give for more than, say, about 10 minutes, the rest of the footage goes on to show us gags as novel as the supposed baby looking at Brittany Daniel's breasts, putting hand to several girls, or hitting the noble parts of almost every man who appears on the screen more than a second and a half. He's not into humor any more, of course. Also, this movie is very sexist, the female characters come out exclusively to serve as a sexual object, by the way (from Vanessa, the mother to Walken's girlfriend). But the Wayans Bros. are still in the 50's?In the end, in case you have not guessed it already, the thief becomes good, the father forgives that he is a delinquent who has been deceiving them, and the viewer leaves wanting to have given his money a better destination, as the bottom of a sewer. But most serious of all is that there will be people who even laugh. How the Wayans must be laughing, watching the people leave their rooms at the box office.And to finish, how I would have liked to act in that film as a policeman, where after capturing Walken and his bandits, forcing Walken's girlfriend to marry a Japanese man (because that actress was probably born in 1964, the year of the Olympics in Tokyo).
One of my favorite comedies of all-time. It isn't the greatest movie nor does it have the greatest acting. Even though it had its negatives it also has its positives. This movie mad me laugh the entire time. You definitely have to have the right sense of humor to watch this movie but if you have a goofy/dirty sense of humor you will love this movie. I have this movie on DVD and I've watched it almost 10 times by now. It's very immature so be prepared for the stupid jokes and things that go on in this movie. I honestly thought this movie would have a better rating but I guess people don't get that when they created this movie they probably weren't trying to go for an award winner, they were just trying to make a silly film that will make you laugh and it did just that. Overall it's a very funny movie and I really recommend it.
What I do not think that a lot of people are understanding is that it's not a real boy actor with real good makeup on. It's a Wayans brother and trick photography they use to make him look little.I didn't get that at first so I was sorta creeped out, because I had a cousin who had a baby and the baby had an old man face and even when the baby grew up it still looked like one of them old-fashioned men you see sometimes in photos from the Civil War.I have a cousin name a Rimmy Jo Buckles and she lives in Fayetteville and one time she was watching a Wayans Bros. movie and she said she laughed so hard that Diet Mountain dew came out her nose. What was funny is that she was drinking a lemon lime powerade at the time and while the colors are similar I can assure you the taste is not.Anyway, you should see this film if you like funny stories and then you'll have something to compare and contrast against this.
