After leaving the prison, the dwarf criminal Calvin Sims joins to his moron brother Percy to steal an expensive huge diamond in a jewelry for the mobster Walken. They are chased by the police, and Calvin hides the stone in the purse of the executive Vanessa Edwards, whose husband Darryl Edwards wants to have a baby. Percy convinces Calvin to dress like a baby and be left in front of the Edwards's house to get inside the house and retrieve the diamond. Darryl and Vanessa keep Calvin for the weekend and decide to adopt him, while Walken threatens Darryl to get the stone back.

User Reviews

not deserve that low point

I can't say that this movie is superb or you have to watch it but this movie is not deserving 2.5 point. There are lots of comedy movies have much point but boring according to that movie. This movie won't give you the meaning of life, or maybe you will forget in a week but if you got bored and just have to watch a movie without overtiring your brain, you may have a good time. If you are expecting too much from this movie yes it maybe a big disappointment. I think Marlon Wayans has a good performance with his mimics and little man effect in the movie is good, too. You won't laugh so hard but just you may joy while watching. I am giving 6 over 10 for it.
