Little Man ★ 2006 (PG-13)

Another Wayans family vehicle, probably the worst yet, attempts to make a film about a dwarf jewel thief who poses as a baby in order to retrieve a stolen diamond he stashed with an unsuspecting couple. CGImanipulation puts Wayans' face on a pintsized body, while the “humor” seems to have been lifted directly from old Bugs Bunny cartoons and the crotchshots of “America's Funniest Home Videos,” either of which are better than this clunker. Directed by elder Wayans sib, Keenen Ivory. 97m/C DVD, Blu-ray Disc . US Marlon Wayans, Shawn Wayans, Kerry Washington, Tracy Morgan, John Witherspoon, Lochlyn Munro, Chazz Palminteri, Linden Porco, Molly Shannon, Gabe Pimental, Paul DeMielche, Alex Borstein, Brittany Daniel; D: Keenen Ivory Wayans; W: Marlon Wayans, Shawn Wayans, Keenen Ivory Wayans; C: Steven Bernstein; M: Teddy Castellucci.
