Little

I think I truly have the blues of the awful comedy sickness from 2017 after seeing this truly vile and grotesque comedy (No. I am not going to even call it a comedy or even a movie) called “Little”. Dear GOD. “Little” takes all of its logic and intelligence away and makes it the Disney Channel Original Movie version (or maybe even the Cartoon Network live-action movie version) of Penny Marshall’s masterpiece “Big”.

The “Will Packer Productions Direct-to-Garbage” machine truly speaks for itself after making such trash like “When the Bough Breaks” and recently last year “Night School”.

The film takes place in a phone-gaming app company where April Williams (Issa Rae) is an assistant to the obnoxious lady named Jordan Sanders (Regina Hall), a woman who treats everyone in the company like garbage, literally wants to be little again. You know why? Because she got bullied from school after doing an obnoxious talent show stunt that would look nearly implausible.

Meanwhile, a young girl who does magic quarter tricks almost 24/7 waves a magic wand (that looks like from a low-budgeted “Barney the Dinosaur” show) towards Jordan to make her little again.

After that titular shot, it gets worse from there.

We soon enter to what probably might be the worst performance of 2018, Marsai Martin as a completely bratty, snotty, and absolutely spoiled middle school version of Jordan Sanders.

In her day in age, she now has to be forced to go back to the same exact middle school she has been made fun at. This starts the entire montage where both April and young Jordan probably make without question the worst chemistry of the year.

Jordan soon gets to meet her middle-school teacher played by soap-opera actor Justin Hartley after she and April have a cringe-galore fight outside of the school.

Now Jordan must have to avoid her awful memories at her middle school and make friends with some outcasts that look like they would be in a direct-to-video film.

WOW, guys. I have never seen a comedy staged this adolescent and tedious ever since something like “The Happytime Murders” where I wanted to escape from my seat and unleash my unholy anger towards it.

Talk about a film with no laughs, no heart, no values, nor no messages, “Little” is a film that easily should be forbidden to have all of its film prints destroyed where “Shazam!” as a inspiration for “Big” had heart, humor, and it was extremely memorable.

This film has potential to have the worst performance and scene by the end of the year when I looked at the silver screen and was like, “Nothing is truly topping this.”

And many critics say that films of this year like “Serenity” and “Replicas” are worse than this? I would watch those as a double feature than sit through this ever again even with “What Men Want” attached to it.

Marsai Martin should truly quit acting in film (unless she is chosen for Barry Jenkins’ newest movie) and stick to television acting in “Black-ish” because she speaks as the worst performance of 2019 as the younger version of Jordan Sanders. She ranks as some of the most brattiest kid performances I have seen in any motion picture. Every frame involving her feels unpleasant like Kate McKinnon last year in “The Spy Who Dumped Me”.

Even Issa Rae as April and Regina Hall’s small part as older Jordan Sanders feel like they should be sorry for themselves in this dirty mess.

Not even the nice Justin Hartley can save this film either.

Let me talk about the absolute worst scene in “Little”.

Both younger Jordan and April have an argument at a very classy restaurant and guess what happens? Young Jordan does the worst Mary J. Blige impersonation singing her Rose Royce cover “I’m Going Down” on literally the top of the wine table where the bartender is. It gets even worse when everyone in the restaurant sings along with Jordan for NO APPARENT REASON!!!

The absolute worst aspect of this film is literally how the middle school is portrayed. The bullies in this film feel like they should belong in the world of Happy Madison Productions where Adam Sandler milks direct-to-garbage films. The “outcasts” in this film should never be in any source of entertainment ever (not even a middle-school play version of “The Breakfast Club”) since they are about as annoying as young Jordan, too!

“Little” should never even step into a movie theater one toe only. It should be banned throughout the entire world where it can be treated like anything from Happy Madison Productions like “Grown Ups 2” and “Blended”. That truly means it should not be sold in any retail store of any kind.

This film should be ranked very high among the worst of the decade. What an abomination this was.

Grade: 0.00000000000000000000/10
