Little: It's no "Big"

When Regina Hall is on the screen in this disappointing flick, she elevates it to an acceptable level of entertainment. Alas, she's absent for most of the film about a bad boss who learns the errors of her ways when she's magically returned  to middle school and discovers there's more to life than making big bucks.

The Movie Slut was hoping for a funny, smart film that added something to a bevy of movies about bad bosses and repeat childhoods. But it was not to be. But don't take her word for it. Here are comments from her movie companions.

Sid, 8. "I think the movie was super-duper predictable. On a scale of one to ten, I give it a zero, and,"Sid added, piling on a bit, "it was too long."

Annie, 13. "Maybe if I hadn't seen "The Devil Wears Prada," "Freaky Friday," and "Big," I would have liked it, but I thought it was cliched."

Barbara S., aka Nana, "I thought that the characters were very shallow and it was very predictable."

As usual, the Movie Slut found redeeming value in one department: Wardrobe. All the characters were impeccably dressed in interesting fashion-forward styles. Too bad they weren't also given a quality script.
