Little Man
2 of 4 Stars
Rated: PG-13
Starring: Marlon Wayans, Shawn Wayans, Marlon Wayans, Kerry Washington, Tracy
Morgan
Directed by: Keenen Ivory Wayans
Produced by: Marlon Wayans, Shawn Wayans, Keenen Ivory Wayans
The creators of “White Chicks” have brought together another jumbled but funny
mess of a movie with bad acting and some extremely funny moments. Marlon and
Shawn Wayans, who got their stardom from the prime time Saturday Night Live rip-
off, In Living Color. Because of their extremely bad acting, they tend to only make
movies that their brother Keenan Ivory Wayans produces and directs. To our
surprise, they have delivered some pretty big hits recently with Scary Movie 1 & 2
and White Chicks.
This time Keenan has directed a movie about midget bank robber who steals a
diamond but while on the run from the cops, he slips the diamond into a woman’s
purse. He learns that the woman and her husband have been arguing about having
a child, so he decides to pull the ultimate con. He poses as a baby and lands on
their front porch. He must live with a family as their child, until he can recover the
loot and return it to the mob to save the life of his friend. This baby is not like any
other they have ever seen. This child has a tattoo on his left arm, a knife womb in
his side and other distinguishing characteristics.
The first 30 minutes of this movie was just terrible and I almost walked out. Then the
movie started to pick up and I just about busted a gut because of some incredibly
funny yet stupid humor. The storyline was weak, the acting was terrible but the
comedic writing was downright hysterical at times. The part that got a bit over the
top for me, is that the director could not figure if he wanted the movie to be an adult
comedy with lots of dirty humor or a movie that resembled Home Alone for kids.
Sadly this movie ended up being much more of an adult comedy.
I did like the fact that through it all, the movie has a very good message. The
emphasized the fact that having a good father and mother role model involved in a
child’s life was vital for a youngster’s well being and they made a HUGE point of
showing that a mother who was a stay at home mom with her kids was invaluable.
The family values were strong in this movie but they were contradicted by so much
dirty humor, therefore I cannot recommend this movie.
Parental Warning: Not for kids or teens. Lots and Lots of sexual humor and some
downright disgusting innuendos. One of the scenes which in no uncertain terms
showed that the midget slept with the wife without her knowing it and the other was
with the man pretending to be a baby so that he could be near a woman’s body on
her lap. These are just a couple of examples.
