What happens

Little Man is a 2006 American crime comedy film directed by Keenen Ivory Wayans, who co-wrote and co-produced it with Marlon and Shawn Wayans, who both also star in lead roles. The film co-stars Kerry Washington, John Witherspoon, Tracy Morgan, Lochlyn Munro, Chazz Palminteri and Molly Shannon. It follows a jewel thief with dwarfism who hides the proceeds of his latest robbery, then pretends to be a very large baby in order to retrieve it. Theatrically released in the United States on July 14, 2006 by Sony Pictures Releasing, the film was a commercial success, but was critically panned and won three Golden Raspberry Awards.
