Watch the trailer TBC A deplorable businesswoman wakes up to find she’s transformed into her teen self DIRECTOR Tina Gordon Chism starring Regina Hall, Marsai Martin, Issa Rae Brought to you from the producers of Girls Trip and Night School, Little is a body-swap comedy (think Freaky Friday and Vice Versa) with a twist. After an unpleasant exchange with a wand- carrying teenager, odious tech mogul Jordan Sanders (Regina Hall) wakes up as her 13-year- old self. With the exception of her long-suffering assistant April (Issa Rae), no one she tells believes her. And so, Jordan finds herself back at high school, where she must (re)learn how to be a good person. With Hall and Rae on sparkling form, this is a feel-good family comedy that’s small in title but big on laughs. 12 APR TBC A 14-year-old foster kid discovers the hero within... DIRECTOR David F. Sandberg starring Zachary Levi, Michelle Borth, Mark Strong, Asher Angel In a month that also sees the release of the dark and gritty Hellboy reboot and the high-stakes Avengers: Endgame, Shazam! offers a lighter take on the comic-book genre. This funny, clever adventure sees a foster 5 APR kid named Billy discovering he can transform into an adult superhero whenever he says “Shazam”. Of course, poor ol’ Billy doesn’t know the first thing about being a masked crusader, and has to learn on the job (with a little help from his awestruck new brother). just say the word on page 20 Watch the trailer odeon.co.uk 13
