Little Man Movie Summary & Review - Wayans Brothers Comedy

Little Man is a 2006 American comedy directed by Keenen Ivory Wayans and starring Marlon Wayans, Shawn Wayans, and Kerry Washington. The story follows Calvin (played by Marlon Wayans), a very short thief who looks like a baby. After stealing a valuable diamond, he hides it in the purse of Vanessa (Kerry Washington), a woman trying to start a family with her husband, Darryl (Shawn Wayans).

To get the diamond back, Calvin pretends to be a baby and gets himself left at Darryl and Vanessa's doorstep, hoping to retrieve the gem once he’s inside their home. What follows is a series of slapstick and comedic mishaps as the couple believes Calvin is a baby, while Calvin tries to act the part but ultimately reveals his true self.

The film uses a lot of physical humor and visual effects to create the illusion of Calvin's baby-like appearance. While Little Man received mixed-to-negative reviews, it has developed a certain cult status among fans of the Wayans brothers' brand of comedy.
