All the ingredients are there, but.......

The reason I purchased this DVD was that it is by the Wayan Bros. The Wayan Bros. were responsible, (if that's the word !) for Scary Movie's 1 & 2. These two films are probably the funniest films I've ever seen, with the exception of 'It's a mad mad mad mad world'. Unfortunately, the same cannot be said for 'Little Man'. All the ingredients are there, it seems, but this film just doesn't cut it. The main actors performances are to my mind half hearted to say the least. They at times look a little embarrased, knowing how basically unfunny this film is. The plot is totally implausible, even in the most outrageous comedies, there is at least some plausibility about them. The main problem is the storyline, there are just not enough funny situations, i.e visual gags, as in the 'Scary Movie' films. Also, the dialogue is not 'clever' enough to warrant being called comedic. Overall then, not a particularly funny film, I think I've been spoiled by the aforementioned 'Scary Movie' films, after all how do you top them ? .The special effects however, transforming Marlon Wayans into the 'little man' are very good and should be mentioned, this being the film's only saving grace.
