Gary has married Samantha, the woman of his dreams. As their new life begins Gary realizes being a stepdad is hard, but even harder when his six-year-old stepson Lucas may literally be the Antichrist.
Evangeline Lilly (Samantha), Adam Scott (Gary), Sally Field (Miss Shaylock), Clancy Brown (Rev. Gospel), Kyle Bornheimer (Victor), Owen Atlas (Lucas), Bridget Everett (AL), Tyler Labine (Karl), Donald Faison (Larry).
Little Evil jumps right into the disturbing behavior of Lucas and plot setup. That out of the way, character introductions commence as the storyline develops some depth. Along the way there is some amusing comedy and over-the-top acting that keeps things light and interesting. The film finally finishes with the Happy Ever After ending we all expected.
Acting was decent with Scott doing a decent job in a lead role. Atlas was enjoyable and did well in his role, as did Lilly. Everett was absolutely hysterical and sold it completely. Field, Brown, and the remainder of the supporting cast was solid and enjoyable.
Camera work, sets, and backgrounds were good with nice detail and fit. Action scenes were mild and CGI was good if appropriately overdone at times. Dialogue was funny and fitting. Sound and soundtrack were good.
Overall Little Evil is an amusing and light comedy with bits of horror, dark comedy, and satire thrown in for fun. Younger viewers should enjoy this one. Adults may find the humor a bit immature for their tastes.
With some mild sexuality, light violence, foul language, and disturbing scenes, this should be fine for older teens and above.
