Little - 'Reverse Big' (starring Regina Hall and Issa Rae) - Blu-ray Forum

Quote:

Girls Trip’s Regina Hall and Black-ish’s Marsai Martin both star as Jordan Sanders — Hall as the take-no-prisoners tech mogul adult version of Jordan and Martin as the 13-year-old version of her who wakes up in her adult self’s penthouse just before a do-or-die presentation.

Insecure’s Issa Rae plays Jordan’s long-suffering assistant April, the only one in on the secret that her daily tormentor is now trapped in an awkward tween body just as everything is on the line. Little is an irreverent new comedy about the price of success, the power of sisterhood and having a second chance to grow up — and glow up — right.

Will Packer, blockbuster producer of Girls Trip, the Ride Along franchise, and ten movies that have opened No. 1 at the U.S. box office, including Night School, No Good Deed and Think Like a Man, brings an all-new perspective to the body-swap comedy.

Little is directed by Tina Gordon (writer, Drumline) with a story by Tracy Oliver (Girls Trip) and a screenplay by Oliver and Gordon, based on an idea by teen actress Martin. The film is produced by Packer and his producing partner James Lopez and by Kenya Barris (Girls Trip, Black-ish), and is executive produced by Preston Holmes (Night School), Hall, Marsai Martin and Josh Martin.

This....looks awful.

Britnasty · 01-09-2019, 03:55 PM

I, for one, am ecstatic. Marsai actually co-exec produced the film with Will Packer and came up with the idea for the film; quite a feat for a 13 year old.

Regina Hall, Marsai Martin and Issa Rae? Right up my alley.

I think you need to change the thread title. It makes it sound like, um, a different kind of movie...

That being said I obviously clicked on it lol.

Well, if Will Packer is involved, it's gonna suck by default.

I think it looks very funny. Definitely going to be a hit.

Member-275053 · 01-14-2019, 04:52 PM

This looks like it could be funny.

"From the Producer of Girls Trip and Night School..."

At least one of those films is hilarious.

Besides, Regina Hall and Issa Rae can do no wrong in my eyes.

I'll give it a shot.

MifuneFan · 01-14-2019, 05:13 PM

Getting kind of tired of these "magical" transformation movies. There seems to be way more of them these days. This one looks especially horrible.

Creed · 02-20-2019, 04:15 PM

Rated PG-13 for some suggestive content.

Britnasty · 02-26-2019, 03:37 PM

Trailer #2

It's 90% the original trailer with a few new scene sprinkled in.

Rodney-2187 · 04-04-2019, 02:17 PM

The trailers won me over. This look hilarious! Definitely will see.

Falaskan · 04-04-2019, 03:14 PM

This looks hilarious. And Justin Hartley

I'm in!

Review embargo lifts tomorrow but a few reviews from smaller blogs have filtered out and they're all very positive.

Honestly, these next few days need to hurry up cause I have been anticipating this quite a bit.

jacobsever · 04-08-2019, 09:09 PM

Not gonna lie, this looks like it will be a guilty pleasure for me.

Like any reviews from any minuscule blogs mean very much.

52% so far.

Most seem to agree the script is uneven and the overall story has been done before but Issa and Marsai are hysterical and a great on screen duo.

Britnasty · 04-14-2019, 06:54 PM

4.5/5

I loved every single thing about this. Took half a point away because it has those cliché end points films like these have but still found them to be faithful to their storylines.

First, Marsai Martin has a bright career ahead of her in comedy. The way she’s able to portray a 30-something woman stuck in a 13 year olds body while still retaining that sassy attitude Regina’s Jordan has is great. They clearly worked together because their walk, their talk, posture, etc. Everything matched up.

Secondly, Issa Rae! She and Marsai’s chemistry together was off the charts. They were dynamic together. Issa also has great comedic chops because she has a lot of one-liners that fly under the radar that are hysterical.

Like I said, the film wraps up in all the cliche’d ways but it didn’t detract at all from my enjoyment.

I won’t tell you to rush out and see it because my opinion is probably more biased because I love everyone involved but it’s worth checking out when it hits streaming/dvd.
