THE ULTIMATE 2000s WAYANS BROTHERS COMEDY THROWBACK! Little Man Movie Reaction & Review with John Humphrey and Jon Maturan! with scary Movie 6, nostalgic mid-2000s humor, and the legendary collaborative projects of the Wayans family continue to dominate pop culture retrospectives, we are stepping into the movie vault to break down one of the most absurd, surreal, and unforgettable high-concept comedies of its era: Little Man (2006).

Thank you to Huel for partnering and supporting our show! Support The Channel By Getting Some REEL REJECTS Apparel! https://www.rejectnationshop.com/ In this full movie review and reaction, John and Jon break down the chaotic story of a pint-sized criminal mastermind who poses as a baby to retrieve a massive stolen diamond. We unpack the incredibly dedicated physical comedy and star-studded ensemble cast, including Marlon Wayans (White Chicks, Scary Movie) putting on a masterclass in facial expressions as Calvin Sims, Shawn Wayans (White Chicks, Don't Be a Menace) as the well-meaning but clueless Darryl, and Kerry Washington (Scandal, Django Unchained) as the ambitious Vanessa. We also break down the phenomenal supporting appearances, featuring Tracy Morgan (30 Rock, Cop Out) as the eccentric partner-in-crime Percy, John Witherspoon (Friday) as the highly suspicious Pop, Chazz Palminteri (A Bronx Tale) as the intimidating mob boss Walken, Alex Borstein (The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel) as Janet, and an unhinged cameo by Rob Schneider as Dinosaur Rex. Our hosts react to every jaw-dropping, boundary-pushing gag that this cartoonish live-action landscape has to offer. We break down the initial baby-basket doorstep reveal, the deeply unsettling doctor’s examination where Calvin shows off a fully removed appendix, and the pure chaos of the rectal thermometer panic with Janet. We unpack the high-stakes diaper bag swap sequence, Molly Shannon's unhinged car-pool rescue chase, and the absolutely legendary backyard football game where Calvin plays like a grown man fueled by creatine. From the Home Alone-style booby-trap climax against Walken’s mobsters to the bizarrely sweet underlying family themes, this movie leaves our hosts in absolute stitches. We evaluate the incredible visual effects integration, comedic timing, and shear ballsy commitment it took to bring this movie to life. #LittleMan #LittleManReaction #ScaryMovie #ScaryMovie6 #ReelRejects #WayansBrothers #MarlonWayans #ShawnWayans #KerryWashington #TracyMorgan #JohnWitherspoon #SlapstickComedy #MovieReaction #WatchAlong #FirstTimeWatching #Nostalgia #2000sComedy #HomeAloneStyle 0:00 Checking inn 2:26 Little Man Reaction 35:03 Huel ad 36:46 Little Man Reaction SCARY MOVIE REACTION: https://youtu.be/cOGETdYHxss A HAUNTED HOUSE REACTION: https://youtu.be/0rvAAg7e-38 A HAUNTED HOUSE 2 REACTION: https://youtu.be/uOA1dEBu_wU Follow *Jon Maturan* Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jonmaturan/?hl=en Intense Suspense by Audionautix is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 license. https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ RR Clips & Shorts Channel: https://www.youtube.com/@ReelRejectsClips Follow TheReelRejects On The Socials: IG: https://www.instagram.com/reelrejects/ TT: https://www.tiktok.com/@thereelrejects?lang=en TWITTER: https://twitter.com/thereelrejects FB: https://www.facebook.com/TheReelRejects/ Music Used In Ad: Hat the Jazz by Twin Musicom is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 license. https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ Happy Alley by Kevin MacLeod is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 license. https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ Supervising Producer: https://twitter.com/nerdchronic?lang=en Co-Editor: Greg Alba Co-Editor: John Humphrey Music In Video: Airport Lounge - Disco Ultralounge by Kevin MacLeod is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 license. https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ Follow & Listen to Us Wherever You Get Your Podcasts!! - Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/3XHMwbveiznxSOGxN9XT0M - Google Podcasts: https://podcasts.google.com/feed/aHR0cHM6Ly9mZWVkcy5tZWdhcGhvbmUuZm0vc3Rhci13YXJzLXRhbGs - Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-reel-rejects-tv-movie-recaps/id1616339990 - Audible: https://www.audible.com/pd/The-Apocalypse-Podcast/B08JJP58FG PLAYLISTS: Trailer Reactions & Reviews: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL-bIhJVeYWw9ZsLdoAQFpx38s2hhyFgDe Movie Reviews: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL-bIhJVeYWw-comtadVs8b9JsZEWHUyr8 Youtube Video Reactions & Discussions: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL-bIhJVeYWw_qwcPsN_vOxXC6IVzrOQYG

Revisiting Marlon Wayans completely committing to the bit as a hardboiled, diaper-wearing criminal mastermind is easily one of the most surreal comedy viewings we've ever done on the channel!
