LITTLE - Starring Marsai Martin, Regina Hall & Issa Rae - On Digital 6/25 and Blu-ray 7/9




The big boss gets a small dose of karma in LITTLE, an inventive new twist on the “body swap” comedy. The film arrives on Digital and the all-new digital movie app MOVIES ANYWHERE on June 25, 2019 and on Blu-Ray™, DVD, and On Demand July 9, 2019 from Universal Pictures Home Entertainment. Hailed by critics as “big fun” (Shawn Edwards, FOX-TV), LITTLE shines a bright light on the incredible talent of the three female leads and shows the true meaning of Black Girl Magic. This light-hearted, comedic and heartwarming film on Blu-ray TM, DVD and Digital comes packed with lively exclusive bonus features including a gag reel, behind-the-scenes featurettes, a hilarious “mockumentary” featuring Regina Hall and a special “Assistant Survival Guide” presented by Issa Rae. 
  
LITTLE is an irreverent new comedy about the price of success, the power of sisterhood and having a second chance to grow up — and glow up — right. Regina Hall ( Girls Trip, “Black Monday”) and Marsai Martin ( Black-ish) both star as Jordan Sanders — Hall as the take-no-prisoners tech mogul adult version of Jordan and Martin as the 13-year-old version of her who wakes up in her adult self’s penthouse just before a do-or-die presentation. Issa Rae (“Insecure,” The Hate You Give) plays Jordan’s long-suffering assistant April. Using heart and humor, LITTLE teaches us to not shy away but to celebrate the greatest and most authentic versions of ourselves. 
  
Filled with laugh-out-loud moments from beginning to end and amusing bonus content, LITTLE makes the perfect movie for a Girls Night In! The film is based on an idea by Marsai Martin, who also serves as an executive producer, alongside Regina Hall, Preston Holmes ( Girls TripNight School), and Josh Martin. Little is directed by Tina Gordon ( What Men WantDrumline), produced by Will Packer ( Girls Trip, Night School), and also stars Justin Hartley (“This Is Us”, A Bad Moms Christmas).




My Thoughts

Little is a really cute movie about a mean tech executive who gets body swapped. After yelling at most of her employees and a little girl, the child uses a magic wand to turn Jordan into a little girl to remind of where she came from. With a big meeting coming up, she has to get back into her real body. With the help of her often abused assistant, April, Jordan learns some valuable lessons about life and what is really important.



I've always  been a fan of body swap movies every since I saw the original Freaky Friday. I like the twist of the her going back to her  younger self instead of switching bodies with a parent. It's along the lines of the classic Tom Hanks movie, Big, only in reverse and with a phenomenal female cast.  The film is filled with hilarious moments, but also offers a strong dash of girl power. It's a wonderful  movie for daughters and moms to watch together. The Blu-ray edition also includes some great bonus footage including a gag real and a look behind the scenes.
