Softwing Most undeservingly overhyped movie of all time??

Marketic It's no definitive masterpiece but it's damn close.

SincereFinest disgusting, overrated, pointless

Robert Joyner The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one

JokerMichel It's OCCASIONALY funny , but overall the movie wasn't that good ... Could have been a lot better BUT it lack of a solid plot. Character's IQ in this movie seems to be down the line . No one is smart enough to be suspicious about what's going on. The idea of the film was something new but they couldn't make it right with the horrible screenplay

celestial_princess This movie stunk! Every actor in this movie was annoying, and the humor was tired. Nobody, not one person, noticed that the 'baby' was really a midget? Not even the doctor? There was one part, just one, that made me smile (not laugh, just smile), and it was near the end. It was when Calvin beat up the bad guy whenever the bedroom light went off, then the bad guy said 'Click' to fool Calvin into thinking he turned the light off again. But as somebody else mentioned, that was ripped off from a Bugs Bunny cartoon some 50 years before this movie was made! Still, since it made me smile, I've mercifully given this movie 2 stars instead of one. One funny moment in a movie that is supposed to be a comedy doesn't make it worth watching. Almost anything else is better than this.

Navy Bean What I do not think that a lot of people are understanding is that it's not a real boy actor with real good makeup on. It's a Wayans brother and trick photography they use to make him look little.I didn't get that at first so I was sorta creeped out, because I had a cousin who had a baby and the baby had an old man face and even when the baby grew up it still looked like one of them old-fashioned men you see sometimes in photos from the Civil War.I have a cousin name a Rimmy Jo Buckles and she lives in Fayetteville and one time she was watching a Wayans Bros. movie and she said she laughed so hard that Diet Mountain dew came out her nose. What was funny is that she was drinking a lemon lime powerade at the time and while the colors are similar I can assure you the taste is not.Anyway, you should see this film if you like funny stories and then you'll have something to compare and contrast against this.

vchimpanzee This film is not going to win any Oscars, though for visual effects it was pretty good. At the start of the movie, I did notice that Calvin appeared to be played by multiple actors and possibly a dummy. But after that, I was convinced that there was a very short African-American man I had never heard of, which seemed unlikely. Everything looked so real, at least on a 13-inch TV screen. I finally found out the man whose face I saw was Marlon Wayans. He does quite a good job. I mean for this type of material.Tracy Morgan comes across as a moron, but the fact is he gives the same type performance on "30 Rock" and that show gets nominated for Emmys. The writing on that show is more intelligent, though, and the Tracy Jordan character more complex, though on a superficial level Percy and Tracy Jordan are a lot alike.Chazz Palminteri makes a convincing and not cartoonish villain. In most scenes, his performance would be worthy of a more serious movie.One scene that is quite well done involves Darryl with his "baby" in the middle of the night. Vanessa comes in and sees he really will make a good father someday.Another highlight involves Molly Shannon and a diaper change--and a Peterbilt. Absolutely amazing. Editing and good stunt work can make anything plausible. Don't try this at home!One user review of this movie says people getting hit in the head is not funny. Oh, yes it is, and has been since Moe did it to Larry and Curly and even dating back to the days of silent movies. I do think they overdo the trademark of "America's Funniest Home Videos", which is getting hit in the crotch. But it's still funny, especially when unexpected. There are a few scenes with empty-headed gorgeous girls showing how good they look. They have kids!I do have some problems with plausibility. I know, look at the movie we're dealing with here. But certain laws of science are violated. I suppose I should just accept this because it's a live-action cartoon.And a doctor can't tell this is a grown man (who isn't going to grow any more than that)? Now if it were Dr. Hartman on "Family Guy" or that quack from "30 Rock" Dr. Spaceman ... but this man seems halfway intelligent.Other problems are attributed to the senility of Vanessa's father, but he seems perfectly healthy.Another thing I don't get: the couple live in a nice house in a nice neighborhood and drive a BMW, and the husband can't afford a ring? Why would the wife be so accepting of this? I have a theory: child services is closed on weekends (in the real world there would surely be something for endangered children, though the couple refused to go to the cops) but Vanessa has to go to work while Darryl stays home with the "baby". This makes it Sunday. This isn't explained, but Vanessa apparently makes more money than her husband if she has to go in on Sunday and dresses professionally. So her husband can't afford the ring but wants to wait until he can. Right? I guess it works. This film is not for kids. Even though it has kids, they shouldn't watch. Even as edited, it has way too many curse words, and some sexual humor almost too deviant to get past network censors. Although Seth MacFarlane's cute and cuddly characters have gotten away with just as much. It is worth it to see one breast-feeding joke start out with the "baby" expecting something wonderful and getting stuck with ... less.It's a fun and touching film, but just don't expect to feel more intelligent afterward.
