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).

It's possible and believable had they made "Little Man" 5--maybe 6--and white. Look at the head and facial features of some white adults and then kids. If you watch the movie "Orphan" look at the head sizes and facial features on those kids and look at the adults in the same movie. Also, there is a condition where people are really short, but have normal adult faces when they mature. A white person with such a condition might pull it off, because their faces allow it. Many white kids have adult heads and adult facial features, so their features almost cross over. The only thing would be that whoever you got would be an acting novice. Black adult faces have features that no black kid would have, so how could you trick someone into thinking that an adult was a child when that outcome of having everything line up as it does naturally in many whites would be like someone winning the lottery of world?! That's what made it all wrong! The problem was not really with the idea, but the applicative vision. It seems like to me that once the idea had been put out there, KIWayans should have been asking himself what scenarios allow this to be believable. If he did his homework, then those are 2 of the scenarios listed above.

Let me just go on record by saying there are two types of movies I hate. Boring movies and unfunny comedies. Little Man fits the latter (obviously) and is the worst movie that I have seen at the time I am typing this.Anyway, onto the movie. Have you ever seen that one Bugs Bunny cartoon with the really short criminal who disguises as a baby to get the cops off his tail and hide his stolen money and Bugs takes him in? Imagine that cartoon only much longer and less funnier. That is Little Man in a nutshell. A really short criminal disguises himself as a baby to get the cops off his tail and to take back a stolen diamond that has ended up with a young couple and they take him in.This movie is filled with unfunny slapstick, unfunny writing and feces jokes. I was waiting for an nut hit counter to appear in the corner of the screen since it happens so often. It's not funny the first time it happens and it's even less funny the last time it happens.Aside from the jokes, other things in the movie are just plain dumb. Like in one scene the couple give the criminal a bath showing his tattoos yet they assume that it was his past guardians that made him get him or another scene were they take him to a supposedly qualified doctor who cannot tell he is an adult and another scene where he gets beating up by a hockey player for some reason (I don't remember the details too well because I don't care) is seen relatively unharmed in the next scene. I guess you can say I'm nitpicking and thinking about it too much but that's what happens when you watch a crappy movie, you're mind starts to wander.And then there is the epic final slapstick battle with the worst movie gangsters (Something to do with the criminal owing them a ton of money or something) I have ever seen, Fat Tony and his gang from Simpsons are more threatening than those bozos. And it all ends in, what else? A nut shot.And the music. Sweet Jesus, Buddha and Shiva, it is generic in sound form. Dopey orchestrated comedy music. But now I'm just rambling on about music that no one cares about, so I think it's time to wrap this up.So unless you want to say to your friends that you have seen one of the worst movies of all time, I say skip it and just watch the Bugs Bunny cartoon, Baby Buggy Bunny.

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.
