The movie is directed by Keenen Ivory Wayans and written by Keenen Ivory Wayans, Shawn Wayans, and Marlon Wayans. The movie's storyline focuses on a criminal named Calvin (Marlon Wayans), who gets released from prison and plans to steal a diamond. In the process of stealing the diamond, he disguises himself as a baby and leaves the diamond with Darryl (Shawn Wayans), a hapless man trying to conceive a child with his wife Vanessa (Kerry Washington). When Darryl and Vanessa find the disguised Calvin/Baby in a basket outside their door, they take him in as their own child.
As they take care of the baby, they start to notice that the baby is not what he seems. Their suspicions are confirmed when they realize that the baby is not a real baby but a small man. The problem is that they are unable to prove this to anyone else but themselves, as the rest of the world sees him as a baby.
