Little Man (2006) 5/10

Starring : Marlon Wayans, Shawn Wayans, Kerry Washington, John Witherspoon, Tracy Morgan
Director : Keenen Ivory Wayans
Running Time : 95 mins

Darryl (Wayans) wants nothing more than to be a father, but his other half Vanessa (Washington) thinks that work is more important, but when dwarf jewel thief Calvin (Wayans) hides a stolen diamond in Vanessa's handbag he is forced to disguise himself as a baby to infiltrate their home and steal back his loot.

Sweet Jesus this was not a good movie. Not only were the Wayans brothers arrogant enough to cast one of themselves as the dwarf instead of hiring an actual little person, but they then inundate us with jokes about how big their penises are. Granted, this was better than Scary Movie 2 or White Chicks, mainly thanks to the likes of Tracy Morgan and Molly Shannon, but it still suffered from focusing more on the Wayans than the flimsy plot.

You’ll like this if you liked : White Chicks
