Jul 14 2006Little Man is Looney
Before anyone spends any money seeing the Wayans Brothers latest venture, Little Man, this weekend, I just wanted to point out that besides looking terrible, the idea is stolen. It's a Looney Tune! You know, the one where Bugs takes in the pint-sized criminal after inadvertently stealing his loot, better known as "Baby Buggy Bunny." And I'll tell you, White Chicks isn't so far off from when Bugs dresses up like a woman, either. The Wayans Brothers may very well be swiping all their ideas from Bugs Bunny cartoons. And here I was, assuming the Devil provided them.

The Wayan Brothers are brillant! While Hollywood is cranking out lame, unfunny, stolen remakes (ie. Shaggy Dog, Dukes of Hazard,etc.), the Wayans use an idea for Bugs Bunny classics in a live action flick!
You can't beat that! And when it's a success, Hollywood will start watching Bugs Bunny for future ideas.

Although this premise is funny, it seems more suited for a 10-minute cartoon than a full-length movie.

this movie will suck so badly that from here on out when a movie bombs they will refer to it as a "little man"

Why do the Wayans Bros keep making turd movies? Oh wait that's right they can't get jobs doing anything else.
Seriously, go do a commercial for a fast food chain or something. Or better yet, die. Your carreer ended in 94.

This lends the first sliver of credibility toward any of their projects.

They keep making movies because people with absolutely not standards who just wanna turn off their brains and veg out will go to see them.
As for the cartoon reference, I noticed that myself when seeing the commercial, but I'd imagine it's an intentional homage.
"White Chicks", on the hand, WAS a rip-off of a script by Jason Coppola called "Johnny Bronx" that the Wayans were shown, which is why they're being sued by him, and are reportedly going to settle.

#1, you're being sarcastic, right? Please say you're being sarcastic. I think I'm going to start a petition to ban the Wayans Bros. from getting near any piece of filmmaking equipment again.
