Very disappointing...

Good story, Not enough for a whole film

Good movie, but best of all time? Hardly . . .

Absolutely the worst movie.

Little Man (2006): Dir: Keenan Ivory Wayans / Cast: Marlon Wayans, Shawn Wayans, Kerry Washington, Tracy Morgan, Chazz Palminteri: Another Wayans brothers crap fest only this time it regards small factors within extraordinary situations or responsibilities. With special effects that are every bit as horrid as the makeup jobs in White Chicks, Marlon Wayans's head is digitally placed on a midget's body and he poises as a toddler in order to retrieve a stolen diamond from a couple conflicting career and family. Lame and predictable plot with Marlon treated as a baby and Shawn adapting to fatherhood. This leads to one of the stupidest climaxes of the year where they fend off bad guys. Directed by Keenan Ivory Wayans who only proves that the poor quality of White Chicks is contagious. Marlon proves that being a toddler should be left by actual toddlers. Shawn Wayans and Kerry Washington play a couple of morons who cannot seem to figure out that their idiot son has a grown man's face. Tracy Morgan plays Marlon's idiot accomplice. Any parental theme in this travesty should be discarded. Chazz Palminteri plays some mob type character and like the title character, it is a total shrinkage of his career. This is one of the worst films of the year and it should be placed in a diaper bag and heaved off a cliff. Parents need to raise their children to avoid films this bad. Score: 1 / 10

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.

This film is not going to win any Oscars, though for visual effects it was pretty good. At the start of the movie, I did notice that Calvin appeared to be played by multiple actors and possibly a dummy. But after that, I was convinced that there was a very short African-American man I had never heard of, which seemed unlikely. Everything looked so real, at least on a 13-inch TV screen. I finally found out the man whose face I saw was Marlon Wayans. He does quite a good job. I mean for this type of material.Tracy Morgan comes across as a moron, but the fact is he gives the same type performance on "30 Rock" and that show gets nominated for Emmys. The writing on that show is more intelligent, though, and the Tracy Jordan character more complex, though on a superficial level Percy and Tracy Jordan are a lot alike.Chazz Palminteri makes a convincing and not cartoonish villain. In most scenes, his performance would be worthy of a more serious movie.One scene that is quite well done involves Darryl with his "baby" in the middle of the night. Vanessa comes in and sees he really will make a good father someday.Another highlight involves Molly Shannon and a diaper change--and a Peterbilt. Absolutely amazing. Editing and good stunt work can make anything plausible. Don't try this at home!One user review of this movie says people getting hit in the head is not funny. Oh, yes it is, and has been since Moe did it to Larry and Curly and even dating back to the days of silent movies. I do think they overdo the trademark of "America's Funniest Home Videos", which is getting hit in the crotch. But it's still funny, especially when unexpected. There are a few scenes with empty-headed gorgeous girls showing how good they look. They have kids!I do have some problems with plausibility. I know, look at the movie we're dealing with here. But certain laws of science are violated. I suppose I should just accept this because it's a live-action cartoon.And a doctor can't tell this is a grown man (who isn't going to grow any more than that)? Now if it were Dr. Hartman on "Family Guy" or that quack from "30 Rock" Dr. Spaceman ... but this man seems halfway intelligent.Other problems are attributed to the senility of Vanessa's father, but he seems perfectly healthy.Another thing I don't get: the couple live in a nice house in a nice neighborhood and drive a BMW, and the husband can't afford a ring? Why would the wife be so accepting of this? I have a theory: child services is closed on weekends (in the real world there would surely be something for endangered children, though the couple refused to go to the cops) but Vanessa has to go to work while Darryl stays home with the "baby". This makes it Sunday. This isn't explained, but Vanessa apparently makes more money than her husband if she has to go in on Sunday and dresses professionally. So her husband can't afford the ring but wants to wait until he can. Right? I guess it works. This film is not for kids. Even though it has kids, they shouldn't watch. Even as edited, it has way too many curse words, and some sexual humor almost too deviant to get past network censors. Although Seth MacFarlane's cute and cuddly characters have gotten away with just as much. It is worth it to see one breast-feeding joke start out with the "baby" expecting something wonderful and getting stuck with ... less.It's a fun and touching film, but just don't expect to feel more intelligent afterward.

I love this movie because it's funny and really enjoyable. What is sad about this movie is the love. Being a comedy, you don't expect Heart Warming moments.Getting into the review... First just let me say the comedy in this movie, Makes me laugh my head off. Secondly the Wayans, are awesome. This movie taking out Dance Flick, is their best So Far. Thirdly,the heartwarming moments in this are just touching. Fourthly, the action and crime in this is just really good, It's like The Other Guys, but an earlier version.Congrats to everyone involved in this film.Thank you, this is a must see for the best movies.This has been A Joseph Akers Review
