Once there, the baby-faced thief endures the other man's attempts at fatherhood while waiting for a chance to take back the stolen gem he hid in the wife's purse.

Critics Consensus

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

Paul Arendt BBC.com 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. Rated: 1/5 Sep 5, 2006 Full Review Peter Bradshaw Guardian 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. Rated: 1/5 Sep 2, 2006 Full Review JM Tyree Time Out It's a concept, not a movie. Aug 31, 2006 Full Review James Croot The Post NZ This film ultimately resorts to the tried-and-tested hit to the groin -- not once, but EIGHT times. Rated: 1/5 Feb 3, 2023 Full Review Joshua Starnes ComingSoon.net 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. Rated: 3/10 Mar 29, 2011 Full Review Cole Smithey ColeSmithey.com 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 Rated: C- Apr 22, 2009 Full Review Read all reviews

Muhammad A I do not know why this movie has so much hate and such a bad rating it’s literally such a funny film I literally laughed so hard like it has a not bad story but then it gets better and better and the emotions and laughter just conquer the thoughts of the film it was a great film. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 06/10/25 Full Review Stephen C LOL, the funniest Wayans Bros. and Kerry Washington movie in 1 hour and 38 minutes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Rated PG-13 for Crude and Sexual Humor, Brief Drug References and Language!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 05/29/25 Full Review Benny D My grandfather, Jedidiah Brandis, suffers from sever dwarfism, he is 1.5 feet. The constant bastardisation of the bloody midgets pushed him over the edge leading to a suicide. He soul now haunts Chateau Brandis waddling between the rooms in the dead of night and releasing his ectoplasm all over the place. Not Happy 0.5 stars Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 04/28/25 Full Review David Manuel R No se porque es tan odiada. Esta es una de mis peliculas favoritas hermano. Es re graciosa y te pasaras un gran rato viendola. la recomiendo mucho pa que pasen un buen rato. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 04/27/25 Full Review Gabriel M Se você conhecer bem às cabeças por trás deste título, ele entregará exatamente oque você espera Rated 3 out of 5 stars 06/15/25 Full Review Brenden H This made me laugh out loud so many time definitely a classic will rewatch if you looking for a fun movie to pass the time then I would recommend the movie Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/06/25 Full Review Read all reviews
