Little Man (stylized as LiTTLE MAN) Is a 2006 American comedy-crime film directed by Keenen Ivory Wayans. It stars with Marlon Wayans Shawn Wayans Kerry Washington. Despite its commercial success, the film received extremely negative reviews from critics.

Plot
Calvin, a short and tiny criminal, has just committed a robbery involving stealing a precious diamond from a jewelry store along with his dim-witted partner, Percy. However, the snatch goes awry, and Calvin ends up ditching the diamond by stashing it in a woman's purse. Calvin must now pose as a young infant in order to retrieve the stolen diamond.

Bad Qualities

 * 1) Despite the film being meant to be a middle-aged-man-baby film, it has lots of very inappropriate stuff for a PG-13 rating.
 * 2) * The scene where Calvin touches Brittney's breast while breastfeeding is inappropriate.
 * 3) * The scene where dog urinates and made Calvin drinks and all over his face is disgusting.
 * 4) Awful acting from Marlon Wayans.
 * 5) Overuse of racist stereotypes.
 * 6) Badly written film. There is no way that Calvin can drive, or rob people if he was little.
 * 7) Extremely stupid and nonsensical scenes. For example, after Vanessa changes Calvin's diaper, she is ecstatic to find the diamond (thinking it is a gift from Darryl), instead of being horrified that a baby let out a large diamond with getting cut on the inside.

Good Qualities

 * 1) The soundtrack isn't too bad.
 * 2) There are few funny scenes here and there.

Reception
The film receives extremely negative reviews from critics, and it holds a 12% on Rotten Tomatoes and according to The site's consensus is "Another gimmicky comedy from the Wayans brothers, Little Man comes with the requisite raunchiness, but forgot to bring the laughs".

Metacritic scores a film a 26/100 "generally unfavorable reviews". While IMDB scores a film a 4.4/10 rating.

Critic Cynthia Fuchs wrote a negative review to a film "Noisy and gleefully stupid, "Little Man" is a one-joke movie that doesn't pretend to be anything else. None of it is very funny -- the gags are both predictable and uneven."
