This Comedy stars rags to riches self made millionaire and little person “Big Red”. When Big Red unexpectedly dies, he leaves a video explaining his last Will and Testament. The Video Will states that in order to receive a share of the millions, the two benefactors, his wife, Bonnie, and son, Little Red, must carry out a competition between two teams of people that are beloved by the deceased: “Little People” and “Mascots”. Over 30 days, the little people go head to head against the mascots in classically funny, yet challenging competitions that will test their determination, creativity and loyalty to their peers.This is the hilarious story and behind-the-scenes look of an epic competition with surprising twists and turns, as well as personal trials, tribulations, and triumphs of those involved.
This Mockumentary takes the competitiveness of Survivor, the hilarity of Superbad, and the heart of Revenge of the Nerds, and comes together in “A Tribute To Big Red”.
*This film is a rated R for irreverent humor, nudity, adult content, and language {ed: naturally}

A competition to inherit. So… they’re recycling Brewster’s Millions?
I can’t wait to see this. Screw high toned drama and the awards that go with them.
Adult humor, little people and mascots.
What are the keys to a great movie, Alex?
(and although I haven’t seen it in years, Brewster’s Millions was good)
I think I might be busy when this comes out.
“nudity”?
(please be Gary, please be Gary, please be Gary)
Who doesn’t love the exploitation of little people to make a buck?
I think the Hunt family should do this to settle their differences too.
I’ve met one of the actors who worked on this film. Basically, the scene was entirely improvised and involved throwing scatological material at the unsuspecting actors in an attempt to catch their unrehearsed reactions.
I really feel in my heart that this might be Gary Coleman’s big comeback. He has so much talent to offer. He alone is responsible for breaking the glass ceiling for black actors under 4 feet tall. It would be fantastic to see him working with Chuck Norreese.
