THAT'S GALL, FOLKS!

I guess I'm not the only one who realizes that the Wayans brothers are ripping off the Warner Brothers, but I thought I'd mention it anyway. The plot for their latest piece of shit movie, Little Man, involves a diminutive thief who poses as a baby to get back a diamond he stole. This is the exact same plot as the classic Looney Tunes cartoon "Baby Buggy Bunny" (1954), wherein a tiny bank robber ("Ant Hill" Harry, alias "Baby Face" Finster), poses as a baby to get his stolen money back from Bugs Bunny. It's the same exact story, folks! Except of course, they took the 7 minutes of hilarity and (most likely) expanded it into 90 minutes of stupidity, while removing Bugs Bunny.

But wait. It gets worse.

They even ripped off the shot of a tattooed "baby" smoking a cigar while shaving the underside of his chin with an electric shaver, as viewed through the bathroom door's keyhole. And it's featured prominently in the trailer! Are they kidding? Did they think that no one would remember the cartoon?

And the Wayans even claim to have written the movie. Assholes.

That's gall, folks!
