Vertically-challenged ex-convict Marlon Wayans disguises himself as an orphaned baby to a yuppie couple (Shawn Wayans and Kerry Washington) so he can reclaim a valuable diamond he placed in a purse while trying to elude the authorities. Also along for the ride is Marlon Wayans' dim-witted accomplice Tracy Morgan and comic book-styled crime boss Chazz Palminteri (no idea what he's doing in this film). Basically a rehash of old Warner Bros. Merrie Melodies cartoon concepts as the novelty wears thin pretty quick. The film starts fairly but the material cannot hold up for a feature-length production like this. The typical insanity and crazed situations would be better suited to a variety show or an animated sitcom. Ho-hum comedic misfire that could only be from the Wayans'. 2 stars out of 5.
