The title (it's like BIG! only it's an adult that turns...LITTLE!) suggests the lack of imagination on display here, and the strapline ('from the producers of Girls Trip and Night School) pretty much tells you the rest. The latest in the mini-trend for age/gender/body-change comedies is a wafer-thin confection that has very little impact or purpose. Saddled with an internal time-scale that makes little sense and a very talky but empty script, even the enthusiastic and at times well-played lead performances cannot always lift the tedium and lack of material. It is also questionable that a film that seemingly targets young teenage girls should objectify its male characters so crassly sexually, even if the film thinks it is making a point by doing so. By the time Little reaches its predictable punch-the-air feel-good ending, the viewer will probably feel like punching something else instead.
