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

It's a concept, not a movie.
Tedious, snickering jokes about infant breast-feeding and adult-male boob lust? You got 'em, baby.
The Wayanses rely on their usual tired jokes here -- spittakes, white people speaking jive, Marlon grimacing in gastrointestinal distress.
The sizable laughs in Little Man make it better than just about anyone expected.
There's nothing like a well-placed nod to the classics to help elevate a dumb summer comedy.
If seeing a guy get whacked in the privates doesn't make you laugh the first time, maybe it will the fourth, or the 24th time.
It plays like nothing so much as an extended In Living Color stretched to fill 90 minutes, and it feels as thin as it sounds like it should. By the umpteenth variation of mistaking Calvin for a baby the joke has long, long stopped being funny.
In spite of the admirable effort that the Wayans brothers went to in digitally transplanting Marlon Wayans head and facial expressions onto the two-foot-six-inch body of a nine-year-old actor, "Little Man" is a bawdy and violent comedy that rankles more t
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.
Big things come in small packages. Saw it again! Very funny movie. The movie is hilarious and with an easy to follow story that even kids can follow even though I wouldn't recommend this movie for kids. Nice cast, the Wayans almost always bring extreme comedy to the table, keep it up! After leaving the prison, the dwarf criminal Calvin Sims joins to his moron brother Percy to steal an expensive huge diamond in a jewelry for the mobster Walken. They are chased by the police, and Calvin hides the stone in the purse of the executive Vanessa Edwards, whose husband Darryl Edwards wants to have a baby. Percy convinces Calvin to dress like a baby and be left in front of the Edwards's house to get inside the house and retrieve the diamond. Darryl and Vanessa keep Calvin for the weekend and decide to adopt him, while Walken threatens Darryl to get the stone back.
Super Reviewer
One of the funniest comedies I've ever seen!
A few funny moments cant make up for how sick and twisted this crap was. The movie itself was a flop, and im proud to say that.
This was recommended by my bf. He thought I'd like this but I just burst his balloon with an indifferent look after watching this (imagine how straight was my lips). They tried really hard to make it in "hilarious" list but some people are not born with a good "sense of humor". I couldn't find a funny part in this movie. Maybe some scenes(?) made me smile (which was almost invisible). But overall this movie itself was a joke. And I don't think that Calvin Sims (Marlon Wayans) looked like a baby at all. I mean just look at him! Anyway, I didn't knew that Marlon Wayans and Shawn Wayans are brothers. But if they really want to be successful, I think they should think before what they choose. Don't recommend this at all. Just watch at your own risk.
