As many reviewers have noted this is a movie in two parts. The first 40 minutes is a great concept, amusing and original with very good special effects ......... THEN the movie starts to digress, it starts to go downhill at his neighbours party and from then on downsizing is just about forgotten. All the possibilities that the concept holds are out the window and a weird sort of slow 'born again' and save the planet theme takes over. Such a waste of a multifaceted concept and such a waste of time after the initial promise. I'm not surprised that his wife did what she did, If I'd had known beforehand I would have done the same thing.
