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.

| Original Score: 1/5 | Sep 5, 2006

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.

| Original Score: 1/5 | Sep 2, 2006

It's a concept, not a movie.

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

| Original Score: 0.5/5 | Jul 23, 2006

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

| Original Score: D | Jul 22, 2006

The Wayanses rely on their usual tired jokes here -- spittakes, white people speaking jive, Marlon grimacing in gastrointestinal distress.

| Original Score: 1.5/4 | Jul 14, 2006

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.

Full Review | Original Score: 2.5/4 | Jul 14, 2006

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.

| Original Score: 1/5 | Jul 14, 2006

Well, it was bound to happen: The Wayans brothers have made a movie that's even more two-dimensional than a cartoon.

Shawn's Darryl comes off as terminally stupid, enduring many blows to the groin (there's even a montage of them) while lavishing affection on his dubious 'son.'

Full Review | Original Score: 1/4 | Jul 14, 2006

Most of the jokes fall in one of two creepy categories -- slapstick having to do with the baby's superhuman strength or slapstick involving the baby's sex drive.

| Original Score: 1/4 | Jul 14, 2006

Buried under all this is a rather sweet story about families, but it's hard to see it amongst all the tastelessness.

Full Review | Original Score: 1.5/4 | Jul 14, 2006

Unless you're of the temperament that derives boundless pleasure from the serial assault on the genitals of large people by a cut-and-paste little person, Little Man will likely prove about as bearable as diaper rash.

| Original Score: 1/4 | Jul 14, 2006

As I said, orifices and their products, and that's about it.

| Jul 14, 2006

Everybody looks like they're having fun in Little Man, another inane outing from the Wayans brothers. And with some ineptly made comedies, that's good enough.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Jul 14, 2006

The simple fact is that rape, no matter what the context, is not funny, and the fact this movie so blithely plays the moment off as another politically incorrect stepping stone isn't just wrong it's downright offensive.

| Original Score: 1/4 | Jul 14, 2006

Some verbal jokes simply don't work, and Darryl's persistent I-wanna-be-a-daddy musings are more insipid than inspiring. But some of the physical comedy scores.

Full Review | Original Score: C+ | Jul 13, 2006

Give the Wayans brothers some credit. For a movie that could have fallen flat on its infantile face, Man scores some points for thinking big.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Jul 13, 2006

A belligerent midget jewel thief assaults groins and molests women in this infantile comedy from the Wayans brothers.

| Original Score: 1/5 | Jul 13, 2006
