Little Man is sneaking onto Tubi soon
A diamond job, a desperate disguise, and one very committed fake infant are heading your way.
Remind MeThere are high-concept comedies, and then there is Little Man, a 2006 Wayans-family swing built around a diamond heist, a married couple, and one tiny criminal with an extremely cursed cover story.
Marlon Wayans plays Calvin, a jewel thief who winds up posing as a baby after a stolen diamond lands in the wrong house. From there, the movie goes all in on disguise comedy, domestic panic, and the kind of physical gag work that only functions when everyone involved agrees to take the nonsense seriously.
Little Man is coming soon to Tubi, which means now is the time to prepare for a comedy that has no interest in being subtle. It wants the big reaction, the double take, the “wait, are they really doing this” laugh. Yes, they are.
The Cast
Marlon Wayans
Marlon Wayans plays Calvin, the thief at the center of the whole disguise operation. The movie asks him to go full cartoon without losing the character’s criminal confidence, and he commits to the bit with huge physical energy and zero vanity.
Shawn Wayans
Shawn Wayans plays Darryl, the husband who suddenly finds himself caring for the strangest baby imaginable. His job is to sell the sincere family-comedy side of the chaos, which makes every suspicious glance and panicked reaction land harder.
Kerry Washington
Kerry Washington plays Vanessa, Darryl’s wife, who brings warmth and real stakes to a premise built for maximum absurdity. She gives the home at the center of the movie an emotional center, even when everything around her is spinning out.
Tracy Morgan
Tracy Morgan plays Percy, Calvin’s partner in crime, and he adds the exact kind of loose, unpredictable rhythm this comedy needs. His scenes keep the heist energy alive while pushing the movie further into its anything-can-happen mood.
“You wanted a baby, you got a whole problem.”
Sneak Peek
Why Watch It
Little Man is for anyone who likes their comedy loud, physical, and deeply unserious in the most intentional way. The hook is outrageous by design, but the fun comes from how hard the cast plays it, especially when the movie turns an ordinary home into a pressure cooker of suspicion.
It also has that specific mid-2000s studio-comedy energy: big faces, bigger reactions, and a premise that keeps escalating because restraint was never the plan. Keenen Ivory Wayans directs it like a live wire, giving the cast room to push every scene into stranger territory.
Add it to your list if you want a comedy that arrives with a grin and a stolen diamond in its pocket. Little Man is coming soon to Tubi.
