Matt Damon is starring in a new comedy from director Alexander Payne, "Downsizing."
In the film, scientists discover how to shrink humans to five inches tall as a solution to overpopulation.
Paul (Matt Damon) and his wife Audrey (Kristen Wiig) decide to abandon their stressed lives in order to get small.
They plan to move to a new downsized community.
The choice triggers life-changing adventures for the couple.
The movie has a middling 60% fresh rating on Rotten Tomatoes. CNN's Brian Lowry said the idea behind 'Downsizing' is too big for the filmmakers to pull off.
