Synopsis:
Hired to steal the fabulous Queens Diamond, pint-sized jewel thief Calvin Simms (Marlon Wayans) and his dimwitted partner Percy (Tracy Morgan) stash the stone in Vanessa (Kerry Washington) Chase's handbag when their getaway plans go uproariously awry. Discovering Vanessa's husband, Darryl (Shawn Wayans), who's hopelessly obsessed with becoming a father, Calvin trades in his duds for diapers and poses as an abandoned baby. Suffering through a host of hysterical humiliations and outrageous family outings, Calvin desperately tries to retrieve the gem before his cover is blown, and Darryl and Vanessa really cut him down to size.

Infantile, Brainless, Crude, Nasty, Lewd, Unfunny So-called Comedy. - Little Man review by PV

Spoiler Alert
12/07/2020

I enjoyed the later Wayans movie WHITE CHICKS - which owed a lot to SOME LIKE IT HOT and had its funny moments, though still a Friday night trashy movie.

But this is awful. It is just not funny - except if your IQ matches your shoe size. No doubt it appeals to a certain audience who demand very little in the way of intelligence.

It actually reminds me of those awful movies from 1930s and 40s, with 'simple' comedy characters, black with bulging eyes. If a white director had written or made this, the yells of 'racist' would be deafening.

I suppose the special effects are impressive for 2006, but the scenes are often more than just bad taste - they are out and out abusive and nasty, which is maybe why I have never seen it showing on terrestrial TV.

And of course utterly unbelievable. Films like TWINS or BIG demand massive suspension of disbelief BUT they work because they are good well-written movies - this is not. I liked DOWNSIZING too which is like this.

I hated this because I do not have the brain of a 6 year old. This idea is not strong enough for a movie - it should stay on trashy US TV network comedy shows really.

But if it made money they'll keep churning it out...

Just awful.
