Calvin (Marlon Wayans)is a diminutive and unquestionably weird-looking jewel thief who poses as a toddler in order to retrieve a diamond he hid with the childless-but-trying couple Daryl and Vanessa (played by Shawn Wayans and Kerry Washington). Hilarity ensues as the movie runs wild with a slew of breastfeeding jokes, crotch .. Read more

    Sweet Mother Of Jesus Preserve Us!

    Without exception, the most vile, excerable filth to ever ooze out of cinema hell.

    Its not big, it certainly isn't funny, its not offensive in a humourous way, its the most sickening, putrid mish-mash of women hating, minority abusing slime that's ever been made.

    This is not un-PC cutting edge, its just nasty baiting of people with afflictions.

    I have sat through some utter arse gravy in my time, but this is by FAR the worst thing I have ever seen. I would rather spend a week in a septic tank with Jim Davidson and Piers Morgan than sit through another second of this evil bile.

    Please do not rent this film, its not 'so bad its good'. Even if you think Bernard Manning is the funniest, most inventive humourist in the cosmos, you will feel violated after watching this film.

    I wish I could have the memory of this satanic poison expunged from my mind, I will take this experience to the grave.

    Sick as it gets

    If you hate women and small people and have a brain the size of a small pea who is amused by possibly the worst film ever made then this is for you.

    An endearing endightment of modern Hollywood. People got paid for this deplorable s***.

    It's sad that to review the film here, you have to give it a star to be able to post.

    This is a no star film

    Little Man

    I haven't laughed so much in a while, almost rolling around on the floor it was so so funny. A wannabe dad (Shawn Wayans) mistakes a incredible short man on the run (Marlon Wayans) (stolen a diamond) as his newly adopted son. There are so many funny parts that I could mention, however my husband liked the part where (Marlon Wayans) were bouncing on the females knee and when baby climbs into bed with his newly adopted parents. Wait for the surprise ending!!!!!!

    Pass on this

    We rented this film out recently and it is probably the worse film we have seen for some time. Pathetic actually. Just don't go there.

    One Weird Mo' Fo' of a Movie...

    I watched this the other night...still trying to come to terms with what I saw...might need therapy...

    Basic plot---Little Man--a criminal midget--steals a huge diamond, and hides it in the handbag of an unsuspecting woman. In order to get it back, he disguises himself as a foundling baby, and leaves himself on the doorstep of the woman and her husband.

    Every baby-but-actually-a-grown man thing you can think of is thrown in here--and probably some you wouldn't admit to thinking of. This is a creepy, creepy movie...there are a few laughs, and certainly it's amazing what they can do with special effects, however, it's defintely NOT a movie for kids--I'm not really sure it's for adults, either!

    Absolutely funny

    If you love to have a bit of laughter in the family, then this is perfect for you. I found this absolutely hilarious and so did my children and amazingly my father.

    This film is overall funny and a best one yet. Perfect for any age or family.

    You already know if you like this or not

    For me, it gets two stars simply because it was funnier than i expected. Even though i only laughed at one scene..i was expecting so much worse.

    Still, its yet another predictable and weak/ unfunny movie of the Scary Movie ilk. If you like those cheese-fests then you might just find something in this.

    I found the movie quite unsettling and sick in places if im being honest. Its definately a movie where you have to switch your mind and morals off...or your life support machine...

    Awful, awful, awful

    Most American comedies of this genre fall into three categories;

    - genuinely funny

    - by virtue of being so appalling bad funny

    - so average as to be just plain bad

    This film falls into the latter category. There isn't much plot. There aren't any jokes. Unless you atoning for some sin or other, don't put you through this rubbish.

    Rated - 4 stars [Highly rated reviewer]

    For a minute I thought you was Chucky.

    Loosely based on the famous Warner Bros. cartoon, “Baby Buggy Bunny,” the film stars Marlon Wayans as Calvin, a pint-sized criminal who teams up with his partner Percy (Tracy Morgan) to steal an enormous diamond for a local crime boss (Chazz Palminteri) promising a big payday. The robbery is compromised, however, and in an attempt to hide the rock for safe keeping, Calvin drops it into the purse of an unfortunate bystander (Kerry Washington) out shopping with her husband, Daryl (Shawn Wayans). Moments later, Calvin shows up on their front steps posing as an abandoned infant, and Daryl – eager to start a family of his own – feels compelled to take him in, unaware that he’s actually housing a fortysomething criminal.

    Very funny in parts and amusing throughout although the plot is pretty thin. Not a bad choice for all the family to watch on a cold Sunday afternoon. My kids were in stitches, and for me it was very easy to watch. Repeat viewings possible.
