Review of Movie "Little" - my daughter said it was awesome! Efamily member shares her thoughts too...

The Movie "Little" led all newcomers, delivering an estimated $15.5 million in its debut, for a second place finish. Men too are loving this feel-good movie, much to the delight of Universal!


Marsai Martin, 14-year-old African-American actress, is the star and executive producer of the recently released “Little,” the youngest person in Hollywood ever to executive produce a studio film. "Little" is an original, star-and-concept-driven, comedy produced, written and directed by African-American women, with Black female costume designers.
In addition to the three Black leads, it took the combined might of two other black women to get the project off the ground: director Tina Gordon and “Girls Trip” screenwriter Tracy Oliver.
Even in Hollywood's increasingly diverse climate, it is a rare feat for five black women to have the opportunity to work together in major roles both in front of and behind the camera.

The movie has wonderful lessons addressing bullying, friendship, running a business, etc.

Martin pitched the movie idea when she was just 10 (!) years old and on hiatus from the first season of ABC’s “Black-ish,” on which she plays Diane. She fired her personal agents when they laughed at her movie idea. Great lesson for our young girls.

The comedy centers on a mean, bullying, tech mogul, played by Regina Hall, who is thrown for a loop when she awakes one morning as her 13-year-old self. Martin plays the teen, co-starring with Hall and Issa Rae, the bullied assistant.

Martin, who signed a production deal earlier this year with Universal Pictures, says that “Little” is one of several films that she plans to create and star in. Her first project with Universal and her company, Genius Productions, will be “StepMonster,” a comedy about a girl adjusting to life with a new step mother.
“Marsai is a star on the rise,” Universal Pictures president Peter Cramer told The Hollywood Reporter. “She is not only tremendously talented in front of the camera but offers a unique perspective as a creator and producer that will resonate with all audiences.”
