Another gimmicky comedy from the Wayans brothers, Little Man comes with the requisite raunchiness, but forgot to bring the laughs.

The work of the Wayans brothers, Little Man is even less funny than their last comedy, White Chicks, and enough to get them permanently evicted from the house of mirth.

A slap-happy misadventure featuring Marlon Wayans as a foul-mouthed midget masquerading as a baby in order to retrieve a pilfered diamond from a childless couple.

Slathers itself in scatology, crotch-punching, hilarious elder/child abuse, and a brutal ration of unearned sentiment.

There are some films that are hardly worth the trouble of watching: once you’ve got the central concept, you can pretty much run the movie in your head.

Mere words, mere permutations of 26 paltry letters, are an inadequate resource for explaining how fatuous, unfunny, and profoundly un-entertaining it is to watch Marlon Wayans doing a goo-goo-ga fake-baby routine.

Slow-moving, tasteless and totally devoid of ingenuity or charisma, this is a gross one-joke monstrosity - and that joke wasn’t very funny in the first place.

The Wayans filmmaking clan strikes with another idiotic compilation of bodily-function gags and lowbrow obnoxiousness masquerading as hip comedy.
08/31/06
Abysmal comedy that's nonsensical, frequently offensive and almost entirely laugh-free.

If your taste runs to scatology and you find little people inherently funny, Little Man may be the movie for you.

Could you really have expected better from the people who made "White Chicks"?

[The Wayanses] collaborate on another forgettable farce drenched in vapid vulgarity...[a] pea-brained prank. Anyone game for White Chicks II?

I understand the satirical import of the race gags. But 97% of the movie will make you need a shower. Possibly two.

Tedious, snickering jokes about infant breast-feeding and adult-male boob lust? You got 'em, baby.

I'm not saying an R rating would have necessarily made Little Man a better movie, but at least it would have made it a more honest one.

I honestly cannot think of anything worse that has been made in between the time the Lumiere Brothers photographed a train pulling into a station in 1895 and today.
07/19/06
I'm sure it's fun to be a multi-millionaire, but whatever creativity and dignity Ivory Wayans had to offer the world in his youth is lost for good in Little Man to a series of crotch wallops and fart jokes.
07/19/06
There's a degree of social comedy in White Chicks' black cops posing as wax mannequin exaggerations of the Hilton sisters. Nothing much is gained when delinquent midgets see what it's like to live as babies.
07/18/06
A fitful, effects-driven and remarkably unambitious summer release about a midget jewel thief masquerading as a baby.

When a movie that you expected so little from delivers even less, you know it's bad,
