When the film is funny, it's hilarious, but the comedy is too spread out, and not even the central performances can save it.

I liked it, but it's also not that great.

Little is mostly a charming comedy with a killer soundtrack and heart to spare.

| Sep 10, 2019

While it's funny, it also touches on important questions such as how our behaviour towards others can come back to bite us. Martin, 14, is a revelation.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Apr 25, 2019

There are many sequences that are funny and winsome on their own, but as a movie, it doesn't cohere.

| Original Score: 2.5/5 | Apr 21, 2019

Little ends up being the little (ha!) film that could and injects itself with enough heart and humor to keep you curious and intrigued for its entire runtime.

| Apr 16, 2019

It's enough to make me guardedly recommend the film. But, nonetheless, Little is no Big.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Apr 15, 2019

The cheerful action offers several moments of snappy comedy but feels largely forced; the road to the happy ending is long and narrow.

| Apr 15, 2019

The film is cute enough, even if key ideas aren't especially novel: it's lonely at the top; we need to connect with our inner child; everyone is insecure as a teenager.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Apr 14, 2019

Deeply contrived, narratively flawed and criminally mirthless high concept comedy.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Apr 13, 2019

"Little" is essentially a one-joke movie, but Martin is so charming as a mini tyrant that it gives the joke legs.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Apr 13, 2019

She's funny, she has good comic timing...but it's grating at length, and this is very much at length...the concept burns itself out too quickly.

As many times as I tried to get onboard with its proposed brand of breezy fun, it kept kicking me off, if only because I found myself running up against the very foundation of its premise.

| Apr 12, 2019

Instead of seeing the world through a child's eyes, little Jordan continues to see it through the filter of big Jordan's psyche. Worse than a disappointment, that's a betrayal of the original premise.

Little is a big case of missed opportunities left to rot in the sun, the resulting stench so heinous here's hoping I'll never have to smell their like again anytime soon.

| Original Score: 1.5/4 | Apr 12, 2019

Little is a star vehicle that its actors elevate beyond being Big in reverse; I just wish that the material could elevate its stars, too.

| Apr 12, 2019

Given a premise that is novel but not new, a script that is worthy but not stellar and a location that is overused, the cast succeeds regardless.

| Apr 12, 2019

The film is generally at its best when [Regina Hall] is on screen, behaving at her nastiest.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Apr 12, 2019

It becomes very tiresome very quickly. And, no, the film's central message, that it's important to, like, "be yourself", doesn't help.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Apr 12, 2019

Like most Hollywood movies that pretend to question the values of the filthy rich, "Little" implicitly endorses them.

| Original Score: 1/4 | Apr 12, 2019
