“Since I have always been interested in Alexander Payne's work, I was really eager to check this movie, even it had been a big flop at the box-office when it was released. Well, unfortunately, it turned out to be a huge failure. Indeed, even though it was Payne's most ambitious work so far, pretty much nothing worked in this movie, I'm afraid.

Movies Viewed in 2018 (361 movies items)"A perfect example of how you have a great idea and you haven't a clue what to do with it. The first half of the movie is fascinating: the ability to shrink people in order to make more room and save the environment has so many possibilities. Yet once the premise is set, co-writer and director Alexander Payne goes way off with a romance and a preachy tale of the world ending. The first part has promise, the second is a crashing bore."
