‘Little’- 2019 Movie Review

The movie, ‘Little’ shows a rich tech businesswoman, Jordon Sanders, who bullies, and behaves ill-mannered to her staff likes a dictator, who has no joy seeing her staff happy.

As a boss, Sanders was too harsh and rude that her employee were scared already on sighting her car to the office premises. There was no freedom as she has no respect for anybody including her own Assistant, Miss April Williams.

In addition, she was a perfectionist and had a measurement or inches of where her slippers should be away from the bed, the same with her coffee in the office.

Marsai Martin as little Jordan Sanders in Little, co-written and directed by Tina Gordon.

Her rudeness is extended to a little girl who casted a spell on her with her magic stick, to become a little girl. Jordon Sanders wakes up in the morning as a 13 year old lady. Her strong transformation from her childhood to adulthood makes gave this movie a comedy touch.

When her assistant, April came in the morning as usual to Jordon’s house and realizes that she is now little, they struck an agreement which left Jordon no option, rather, to accept April’s terms and conditions including wearing her expensive clothes too.

As a minor, she cannot run a company, so April takes over and forcing her little madam to go to school every day. This was the only way to get off Child Service not to disturb Sanders.

While at school, Jordon crushes on her teacher, Mr. Marshall. She begins life at school and meets some friends (Raina, Isaac and Devon), who were the only ones that accepted her. They formed their click and became stronger in their activities. Sanders enjoyed their company and suddenly overcame fear and bully from her opposition.

As a result, April manages the office affairs, it was not easy to keep up with the pressure and demands from clients, especially, when one of their biggest clients wanted to pull out from the company if they do not pitch him great idea for a mobile app.

Unable to reach little Sanders, who is at school crushing on her teacher, April presented a pitch called, ‘Discover Eyes’ which was originally condemned by Jordan. Jordan spoke rudely to April after she presented the pitch which she doesn’t like. This made April to resign from her job.

However, April finds the little girl who turned Jordon into a small girl and pleaded she return her back to her 39 years old age. The little girl accepted; but her attempt to turn her back failed. But the spell must work if truly she has changed and vowed not to be rude to anyone.

Luckily, the next morning, little madam woke up to her normal self (THE BIG BOSS WOMAN). She is so happy that she is no longer her small self. She apologizes to April, her assistant for her ill attitude.

Luckily, the client loved the pitch April Presented, and Jordon throws a big party at the office. At the party, April is promoted as the Creative Executive Director. Also, her little friends from the school, Raina, Isaac, and Devon were also present at the party.

Everyone is happy at the party and has seen a new person in their boss.
