Universal Pictures is packing a whole lot of funny into its latest film – ‘Little.’

Anchored by Regina Hall, Issa Rae, and Marsai Martin, the movie is impressively based on an idea cooked up by the 14-year-old ‘black-Ish’ star.

It sees both Hall and Martin take on the role of Jordan Sanders – a no-nonsense tech mogul. You may be wondering… how?

Well, an adult Sanders is on the cusp of a super important presentation, only to wake up as the 13-year-old version of herself. And with assistant April (played by ‘Insecure’s Issa Rae) the only one in-the-know about what’s happened, hilarity ensues as they attempt to salvage the situation — with everything on the line.

Due in theaters April 12th, ‘Little’ is billed as a story about success, the power of sisterhood and having a second chance to grow up — and glow up — the right way.
