Little
A big boss gets a small dose of karma in “Little,” an inventive new twist on the “body swap” comedy. The film arrives on Blu-ray, DVD, and On Demand July 9, from Universal Pictures Home Entertainment. It also is available now on Digital and the digital movie app Movies Anywhere.
“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”) play younger and older versions of Jordan Sanders. Hall plays the character as a take-no-prisoners tech mogul and Martin as the 13-year-old Jordan, 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” suggests not shying away but to celebrate the greatest and most authentic versions of ourselves. The Blu-ray, DVD and Digital versions are packed with lively exclusive bonus features including a gag reel, behind-the-scenes featurettes, a hilarious “mockumentary” featuring Hall and a special “Assistant Survival Guide” presented by Rae.
