Tedious, snickering jokes about infant breast-feeding and adult-male boob lust? You got 'em, baby.

The Wayanses rely on their usual tired jokes here -- spittakes, white people speaking jive, Marlon grimacing in gastrointestinal distress.

The sizable laughs in Little Man make it better than just about anyone expected.

There's nothing like a well-placed nod to the classics to help elevate a dumb summer comedy.
