Skip this one. Alexander Payne's ambitious sci-fi premise about literal downsizing as social commentary gets bogged down in tonal confusion, and Matt Daimon's everyman routine can't quite carry the film's scattered identity crisis across its bloated runtime.

Plot

A kindly occupational therapist undergoes a new procedure to be shrunken to four inches tall so that he and his wife can help save the planet and afford a nice lifestyle at the same time.
