It tells the story of a middle-aged couple who voluntarily joined a slimming plan to make themselves smaller in order to save money. As a result, only the husband became smaller and the wife did not, so the conflicts between the two became more and more. Therefore, if you think that the movie just wants to reflect the midlife crisis of the couple by comparing different worlds and is therefore a simple and interesting comedy love movie, then you are wrong. Why? And listen to me slowly; this is a very complicated story. In the face of increasingly serious resource shortages and population growth, scientists have developed a 2744:1 human body reduction technique, which can transform a 1.8-meter tall man into 12.9 centimeters in just a few hours. In this way, ten years have passed, the technology has become very mature, and the living facilities in the micro body community are also becoming more and more perfect, even far better than in the real world, and more and more people have entered the micro body world.

    At first, I thought I would talk about the mid-life crisis of the middle class. After seeing it, I felt that I would talk about discrimination and predicament after shrinking. Later, it was like talking about conspiracy theories of politicians and scientists, and then environmental protection and survival. At the end of the day, I never imagined that without digging out so many things, I would tell the story of a middle-class American male doctor who fell in love with a third world disabled female fighter and then recognized himself. It took more than two hours! I'm taking off my pants and you're going to show me this?

    The spectacle is so important and remarkable that it brings unprecedented and climax humor to Payne's movies, and it is impossible for the audience to deliberately ignore it. The story of Xiaorenguo, which makes people worry that it will be dull after leaving the special effects, has also successfully transformed into another wonderful "Beijing Folding". In line with a certain environmental and political correctness principle, Payne somewhat simplifies and portrays the poor "little people" of the Third World led by Vietnamese women and portrays them as righteous heroes.
