Little is a comedic movie, based on a woman who one day, wakes up in the body of her teen self; it’s like a flipped take on the movie, Big, with an adult being transformed back into a young child, to help her learn some important life lessons.
Jordan Sanders is a demanding and driven executive, who is making life difficult for her personal assistant, April. When April reaches her wit's end, a magic spell causes Jordan to wake up in the body of a 13-year-old teen child. Now, April is the only one that young Jordan has, as she attempts to balance an important work presentation with the awareness of being an adult back in middle school.
The comedic aspect of the movie largely relies on "oh-no-she-didn't" shock value that only intensifies once Jordan is turned into a teen. It's intended to be a comeuppance to put an odious 38-year-old woman into the body of a young teen, however, viewers instead spend a couple of hours with a smirking 8th-grade smug.
Little seems to be aimed at Millennials. The poster uses a big yellow font, meaning parents may likely interpret it as a child-friendly movie for families. Realistically, children may not understand the nuances of the comedy, and each child may draw differing conclusions from the movie.
The movie’s release date is the 12th of April this year. Most cinemas will be playing it, so why not buy a bucket of buttery popcorn, some drinks, and check it out for yourself.
Thank you to Universal Pictures Australia for the invite!
