LITTLE MOVIE REVIEW - Double Toasted Reviews 

I applaud this movie for the simple fact the 14 year old girl Marsai Martin produced it using her own production company. Either good or bad, I think it’s a huge accomplishment to have a major motion picture under your name and business at that age.

It's been a while since I've watched a double toasted video, and I realized how much I missed hearing martin's laugh

Narrator: Regina Hall was a successful businesswoman. Until one day *record scratch* she turned into a little girl! Regina Hall: Aww hell no! Narrator: Now she's about to realize that just because you're small doesn't mean you can't do big things. Regina Hall is Little! Rated PG-13!

I love movies that are full of tropes that Korey hates... those are the best D.T. reviews. It's CRAZY that we got 2 BIG movies within 1 week. Literally a week ago we got Shazam! Now we got Little.... not even spread out a month apart or anything, just 1 week.

I feel like these kinds of “kid-adult” movies will become a trend, especially when they don’t require that much effort to produce. So by the time Shazam 2 comes out, people will be sick of them and be extremely critical on the movie. It’ll be a shame if that were to happen.

You become a kid again and you you retain everything from your previous life? Sound more like a blessing than a curse.

That Knock-off Tom Cruise played Oliver Queen in Smallville. Lmao.

Suggestion: Add a beep over the cut swears. I always found it even funnier than actual swears sometimes and less awkward than silence.

I am so happy that Marsai Martin become the youngest executive producer in Hollywood

Casting black women in cliche roles. I’m so over it.

Creativity and originality is neglected. As an artist, it makes me feel sad.

Although I agree with most of the criticisms, just saw the movie today, I do appreciate seeing a young black girl be a main lead in movie. Plus the acting wasn't bad on marsai, issa and regina's just the script cause you know will packer isn't that great. By the way black women don't have a problem with black men dating white women, it's when you do and then drag black women. Also her name is Issa Rae and she is doing great things in the media for black people a little show on HBO called Insecure. Great review though still love you guys!

Ugh. I need Regina Hall to get a good role...in a good movie.

IDK why Korey & Martin are surprised the movie was going to be bad, you could tell that from the trailers. I liked Regina Hall ever since Scary Movie (even though she typically plays the stereotypical "loud angry black woman" role) & to me, Tiffany Haddish is a new knockoff version of her.

Yeah as a teacher I was so annoyed that no adult was around to facilitate things well and help these bullied kids out!

Martin is DEAD ON about the way they portray business in a lot of movies and on TV as a whole. The problem is, they are serious when they show this stuff even in comedies and it's not rooted in reality. I too am tired of the AD executives and people needing to get the account that will save the company, it's just starting to ring way to false.

Saw the movie. This review is so on point. After 15 minutes in, sans Regina Hall, it went downhill. Issa Rae helped but it wasn’t enough to save this film.

70's police chasing music? 😂 😂 😂 😂 WTF? They find this off of 70's television?

Hey Korey, that knock off Tom Cruise is Justin Hartley he was on a soap opera called Passions he played the son of a wealthy family named Fox Crane then he went on to play Oliver Queen/Green Arrow on Smallville.

I thought the trailer was cute. But I trust Martin’s views more than anyone on DT, so I’ll wait for it to hit Hulu 😩😬

That intro came in late lol 5:27 we call that tvtropes martin 14:37 first silent bleep I heard

The trailer for this movie was actually good. I'm still gonna to check it out.

I'm just happy it wasn't a stereotypical black movies full of gangs and sports or Dancing and singing , we as black folks need to Branch out. Black Panther Us Now Little.🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗

Jokes on a treadmill. Gonna use that Martin!!

"Predestination " staring Ethan hawk, is one of the best movies I've ever seen that no one talks about, 1st movie I've seen that when it ended, I googled it, because I didn't quite understand what I had just seen.

You want a movie? Watch big or SHAZAM! again.

Love these guys. They have a lot of fun and a lot of laughs with these movie reviews, and too many critics on RU-vid don’t do enough of that.

you say its coping big except she is an adult that becomes a kid so.............more like its "copying" seventeen again. sigh

How much did you pay to see this one Korey??

I just saw this on disc from the library. Yes to most of the complaints - nice beginning, then it takes a pratt fall, and just crawls all the rest of the way. I would not buy it. But, glad I saw it, because I really enjoyed the two leads, Marsai Martin and Issa Rae. Great talent and great chemistry. They carried the movie, cause ain't anything else helping them do it. Glad I saw it; don't need to see it again; would love to see the two leads together again.

"I was expectin somebody to chase a junky down an alleyway" sent my ass

I actually liked this movie. Wasn't a must see but I had fun it. Something odd Cory said during the review. He said the Mary J song Going Down was a nasty song. That song doesn't have anything nasty about it. She is talking about her life going down not having someone go down on her.

This is a goddamn January movie.

I saw Little. A worn out formula of the age reversal but great talent from Regina Hall and Issa Rae. A terrific performance by Marsai Martin. You learn a lot still being a kid and as an adult. Nobody can define you but yourself. You don't have to bully others before they do either. The look of the movie looks great I was amazed but a few subplots they completely drop altogether

I feel like the direction was really lacking. You could tell there was a lot of talent but the director just seemed to not be able to gel it together.

“Big came out before Shazam so Shazam copied it” - Double Toasted

It finally happened.... *puts eyes on the counter and rubs the empty holes with a sigh*

Yeah I felt like when the young actress came in it definitely went downhill. Would have preferred to see just Issa and Regina but overall it was entertaining. 🤷🏽‍♂️

THANK YOU!!! Thank-you-Corey for pointing out how these black women lose their minds whenever they even see a brother looking in a white woman's direction. But lust after these white men. I'm not saying there is something wrong with interracial relationships, but let us keep it equal & fair whether you're "for" or against.

P.S. what script are you talking about for issa and regina. Plus issa rae is an emmy nominated actress because of Insecure from HBO.

I DT doesn’t like movie bullies but that still happens in real life and some times it’s worse in real life. Anti bully stuff doesn’t really work.

Im just waiting for their hellboy 2019 review.

I think Korey is too hard on this film seeing how That little girl produced the film . She said she made it because her mom was a fan of “ BIG” So it’s her project . And give her a break!

A movie about a BT 900? You should have had Tommy Sotomayor sit in and review this movie with you. Lol

Green arrow went from smallville to this is us than little damn my boy having it rough

You got Martin looking little in this review ...lol

Haven’t watched their videos in awhile. I guess I’m late to the whole taking out bad language thing. This really is turning into the demolition man future

I walked out as soon as Issa Rey snatched the loaf of bread and started singing!!! Walked RIGHT THE FUCK OUT!!!

Thank you for mentioning the random musical number. I don;t mind musical numbers, and they happen almost all the time in female ensemble lead films. However, I feared that I had blacked out our something when the singing began in "Little." I was wondering if I missed something because my mind wandered or if the projectionist change the film reels incorrectly. That song was like an RKO: from completely out of nowhere. 🤷‍♂️

i wish korey koleman of double toasted was little , good luck korey.

I remember seeing the trailer for this and thinking "I like all the leads, but I didn't laugh much." I was kinda conflicted about whether to see this or not. But I think I'm going to pass.

Finally saw Little, and it was actually really good or great. SO funny. Yall crazy if you dont laugh at the singing scene and dont understand the comedy and fantasy blend. Not every scene falls in real world logic. The lead actors are so funny and Im a guy.

spoils throughout: I watched it and didn't like the pedophilia jokes(they did it with 2 different adults in the movie). I just didn't feel like it was appropriate or that they needed it. I get they were trying to copy that aspect of 13 going on 30, but in that movie, it still maintained the optics of her as an adult, even though she had the mind of a kid. The joke doesnt translate in this version where we physically see the age change. I dont like playing that for laughs it just creeped me out everytime it was done. In general the move was fairly bland. It was disney sitcom level quality, and not big screen quality. The exposition right off the bat was so ham handed that I found my self shocked at how bad the writing was since that was what it opened with. (spoiler: she literally just explains that "I'm going to be the bully when I grow up, because I was bullied.") This is bad writing for 2019, and it seems like too many black movies (like tyler perry and girls trip) always seem to have mediocre themes and writing. Especially if its woman, then its guaranteed to not even feel remotely modern or funny, and may be riddled with stereotypes as well. I realized that the person who edited the trailer would have probably made a better director/writer for the movie. They corrected all the issues with the pacing, and made it seem like a much more put together movie than it actually was. Even my favorite joke from the trailer managed to be boring once I saw the full scene. I get that only a kid produced it, but if they wanted to truly help her see the project through, they should have done a less sloppy job with its actual execution and critiqued and made edits for a refined final story. there were moments that didn't make any sense, and were just plain inconsistent. For example, the ending. Why were those children there? Why did they start dancing? It was also unclear what the "boss"'s profession was. Looking at the visual cues thrown in your face you would've thought she was in fashion(like the fashion designer from 13 going on 30) and not in tech. I found that extremely distracting. I was not really convinced that any of the people in the company could really do any of the actual work they were acting. The intern's idea pretty much did not make sense conceptually, and the boss did not act like she knew any stem stuff. I thought as a kid she liked science and then grew up to be a fashion designer, not an app developer/ tech company. It was really unclear, and the boss did not speak or make reference to her work for most of the movie. Its like it was written by someone who didn't do any prior research into tech but just wanted to dress up some black actresses and call them tech professionals. this aspect was extremely disappointing and sloppy. I did not feel convinced by any of the middleschool stuff either. The way bullying was proyrayed seemed so outdated and unrealistic. I found myself skeptical, because they didn't really "sell" the idea of the middle school environment well enough, especially for 2019. I also did not really like the joke in the movie where (spoiler from her on)) the adult boss insults this indian lady's kid by calling her a boy and then going on to call her a transgender. There was a subliminal racialized undertone I detected and it felt off. My last issue was some of the fashion. It was so bad, literally all the outfits were bad. I did not like that weird lepard thing issa was wearing. It was hideous. I also did not like regina halls wig in this movie. It looked so bad, and it took me away from the movie because it was unclear whether we as the audience are actually supposed to be in on the terrible style the boss had. Then they made fun of the afro(one of the unrealistic outdated things I was talking about) and there were other black girls with afros in the movie. It felt so culturally disconnected and oblivious. It wouldn't be so bad, but just picture this, time is an important aspect of the story because its an adult going back to middleschool in 2018/9. Hell, the overalls she was wearing in that scene she was made fun of-- that's trending, more than the weird pink suit that everyone gushed over her when she wore it. The taste in humor, in clothes/style, it was just so off. Many people say this is meant to appeal to children. I'm in my 20's and there is no way this would appeal to kids with how culturally disconnected some of the aspects are. And yet its still to poorly executed for adults. This just means they themselves are confused about their target audience. Many times the acting was extremely bad. Like in the beginning of the movie, during the horrible exposition, the parents spoke like robots, as did Marsai. It was a really bad intro, I can't emphasize it enough. I also felt like the story jumped all over the place so much, that by the time we got "resolution" they ended up feeling rushed as they didn't have a proper build up. The scene where the nerds finally show their stuff? That scene was so anticlimatic and disappointing. I didn't really feel like the situations were fleshed out properly, yet the movie was also so long. The child protective service lady could've seen the social media posts, but the social media part didnt even go anywhere. It didn't feel like they were finished writing the movie to be honest. And like, feature films are supposed to have a crew that determines the fashion and such, the same way you dress the set. This was the worst wig and fashion ever. And you could really feel the low budget at times, like during scenes where you were supposed to feel hype, they ended up anticlimatic. I give the movie a 2. I still think this was good for Marsai. I hope she learns and grows as an actor. Though if I'm honest I do not watch the show she's from, as I hate sitcoms 90% of the time, and black sitcoms are even worse as they always put steretypes or have colorist setups.

I Don’t Like This Movie.. It Makes Me Cringe 😬 The Scenes With The Little Girl Flirting With The Men….. A Man Strip Dancing In Front Of A Child… I Was Truly Disgusted. It Reminds Me Of White Hollywood Back In The Day & Those Children Use To Be Exploited Honestly.

i thought the movie was cute, kinda stuck at times, but i gave it a pass bc of the acting. but y'all forgot a huge ass plot hole: regina hall's love interest thinks she has a daughter, but it was little regina hall he encounters (and another awkward adult in a child's body moment). where's the explanation for that?

Just called Green Arrow a Tom Cruise knock-off lol

4:35 is this a Tyler Perry flick?

70'S running the block junkie enters the chat: Hold my beer...

I knew y’all would trash it and i love it haha

I wish Martin would enjoy watching good bad movies. I imagine watching them with him in a group would be a blast.

Is Double Toasted going to review the movie "After"?

No. It was bad from the beginning. Regina Hall's character was way over top and unbelievable. Cartoonish and unfunny. I wanted to like this film cause I loved the trailer. I tried so hard, but I didn't like it.

Regina was great in Scary Movie and The Best Man.

The camera for Martin is off center.

I can tell it was a horrible film just by looking at the trailers lol.

I figured it would be average at best given the premise. hard not to follow a formula with it.

All these female reinventions of classical films with male protagonist always bomb because they lack the talent, commitment and weren't trying to push a narrative but rather make an entertaining film.

Can't wait to see you guys play in Schmoedown in Huston.

Korey must have really hated 13 Going on 30. LOL

The little girl flirting with the teacher. Yikes. Not funny.

Only reason I ain't trip on Certain cliches and loose ends of this movie is because I recognize it's attempt to show black ppl in different setting and stories outside of the hood and strip clubs, etc.. its a cool laid back funny family movie.. nothing to be taken too serious or read too deep into.

I feel like korey has been telling me about Toronto for a year now.

That wheeze at 23:37 gets me everytime!

I avoided this “film” like the plague.

Why do they always start the show almost like it’s an afterthought? Korey’s usually like “oh Martin, we need to get to a review... *sigh*”

I hate that they bleep themselves now

So do you only have to sensor the f*cks for the first and last 10mins? It was weird how later in the vid it wasn't sensored anymore and then it was again.

I was honestly embarrassed for the entire human race that we put this piece of shit in theaters, watching it was a modern day form of medieval torture.

“...one little whitey falls down a well-“

Lord the magic app..... sounds like the movie office christmas party lol

Oh Corey, can't believe you went there. SMH. Couple of drinks? I'd have to get paid 1 million to go there.

Justin Hartley from This is Us is in this movie. I like his character as Kevin Pierson.

Big is a great classic film!

16:30 Not everything is about you Korey.

Not sure of what to think . The main adult character is a " bossy , cool, sexy , beautiful looking woman " . Who turns into her kid version . Who looks as " Little Ugly , Nerdy Betty " . And behaves as her pretty , sexy adult version .

Have they always censored the cuss words?

korey to the stripper, " Sorry for the boxes in the living room I'm in the middle of moving in..."

First time watch this channel lol love it! Subbed

Was Adam Sandler already on vacation?

The movie was funny to me.

I enjoyed the movie, but I enjoyed this review even more 😂❤

Turns 5 today!

Are you guys censoring yourselves?

I live for these reviews. DOUBLE TOASTED FOREVER! 🙅‍♂️

Martin is the right third.

The man without the hat .. Sounds a little like Eddie Murphy... To me.. Which is Awsome

I Knew this would be crap but Black women will love it. Its an all black woman production.

This review is a instant classic

Regina Hall dressed like Miranda Sings lol

Little and black? You mean Tony Cox?
