Little Man

After several years in prison, three-foot-tall jewel thief Calvin Sims (Marlon Wayans) decides it's time to retire from a life of crime - but not before pulling off one last big heist. A notorious crime boss has offered Calvin and his former partner Percy P (Tracy Morgan) $100,000 to steal the famous Queen Diamond.

Because of a glitch in the jewellery store's security system, Calvin assumes the job will be child's play. But the heist goes bad and Calvin is forced to drop the jewel into Vanessa Edwards' (Kerry Washington) purse. Vanessa and her husband Darryl (Shawn Wayans) then return to their suburban Chicago neighbourhood, unaware that they have become pawns in a high-stakes crime.

The couple are having problems of their own. Darryl is dying to assume the responsibilities of parenthood, but Vanessa is worried that having a baby will limit her ability to climb higher up the corporate ladder.

When Percy and Calvin overhear of Darryl's desire to have a child, they devise a plan to exploit their insecurities in order to recover the stolen gem. Calvin will masquerade as a “baby,” infiltrate their home and sneak away with the diamond. He deposits himself in a baby basket on Darryl and Vanessa's doorstep. Darryl leaps at the opportunity to prove he's ready for fatherhood by caring for the abandoned child for the weekend. To his surprise, Vanessa agrees.

Once inside the Edwards home, the tough, cynical Calvin finds life as a “baby” to be a living hell and retrieving the diamond much tougher than he'd imagined.
