Where to start… Let’s see, I opt to see something funny, something I wouldn’t wanna waste my brain cell thinking what the whole plot is all about, why this scene is shot this way.. why this.. why that…. how come this… pay attention to the apple… it’s the key to the whole story thing. Yes, my brain needs a major rest as there are many question and situation arises in life that I need to figure out.
Yes… *yak yak yak* Why you go see such movie? It’s one of the worst movie of the year! Don’t waste money lar… *blah blah blah* . Right… don’t be too concern, I know what I am watching and from the trailer, I already didn’t expect anything out of this movie. I just need a good laugh, that’s all.
Right.. about the movie, the title sorta self explained 50% of the movie with Marlon Wayans acting as Calvin, the little man who was constantly jailed for thief and other criminal offence. Just when he was released, Percy (Tracy Morgan) came and pick him up and they quickly have a job to do. This time, to steal a diamond a size of a golf ball.
For obvious reasons, the scene was not believable but then, it’s a slapstick comedy so… I don’t think I want to bother commenting about it. Everything did work out fine and they manage to steal it. The only problem is the cops are going after them. Calvin then hides the diamond at Darryl (Shawn Wayans)’s wife, Vanessa (Kerry Washington)’s handbag
Calvin and Percy would have to come out with an idea to get to the diamond. Since they overheard that Darryl wanted a baby badly, Calvin being that little is the perfect solution to the problem. Without further surprise, yes, he is the little baby that goes “goo goo ga ga” at the doorstep.
Calvin was instantly being accepted and kept. Obviously there are some exceptions. Vanessa’s dad (John Witherspoon) didn’t actually like the idea of the baby thing. Yeah, they were about to keep the baby for the weekend as the government service department is closed on weekend. It’s just enough time for Calvin to steal the diamond out and run.
Much mischievous stuff happen like typical baby problem arises. Not to even mention that Calvin was so excited when see Vanessa’s friends coming over for a visit. Oh yeah, blonde, big boobs… haha sexy.. do I need to tell you what is the excitement all about?
Obviously after bonding together as a family for 2 days, Calvin finally decides to go back and help the Darryl family when he knows that his boss, Walken (Chazz Palminteri) is going over to Darryl’s house thinking he double crossed them and wanted to take the diamond back.
As a typical comedy ending, obviously the badass people got beaten up badly and jailed. And yes… obviously Darryl will keep Calvin at home.. Duh… it’s one of those movie you could never expect any surprise as this will mean I would be surprised and used my brain cells. Not part of my plan though!
