Okay. Here's the thing. This movie was not well represented by its trailer. This takes much more from "This Crowded Earth" by Robert Bloch than I was expecting. The amount of "Morris the Explainer" scenes with Matt Damon is absolutely mind blowing and for a comedy, it doesn't really work. It is an semi-interesting think piece that I will be interested to see if I am still thinking about this tomorrow morning. Redefines bland despite a flashy concept. 6/10

Interesting concept but this is more of a soft sci-fi than a comedy. The first two acts were pretty interesting but the third act fell flat. Owen Wilson has ruined the word "Wow" for me because every time Matt Damon says it I instantly thought of Owen Wilson. Otherwise Matt Damon was fine. He needs to go back to action or start picking better roles; this, Suburbicon and the Great Wall are not great. Christoph Waltz and Udo Kier were both good. Hong Chau's did a great job but I really hated her character. And what a waste of Neil Patrick Harris, Laura Dern and Jason Sudeikis!

I thoroughly enjoyed this film. It was quirky, fantastic (as in full of fantasy), funny, moving, profound, whimsical and all round good entertainment. Matt Damon excels in this sort of ComiDrama. Hong Chau is a breath of fresh air (deserving of her award nominations). I look forward to see to seeing this again when it comes to DVD. I give it an 8.5 (thoroughly enjoyable) out of 10. [Comedic SciFi Drama].

For me, this movie was really hard to rate, because starting with the idea, this movie has a great surreal premises, that fancied me right from the beginning. Seeing the first trailer I was excited because the idea seems absolutely great and crazy, but I had no idea, what direction this movie would More

Really weird and pointless movie. He decides to become small but then that's pretty much it. After he has the operation there's really nothing else interesting about the movie after that. I give it a 4 just cause the Vietnamize lady had me cracking up.
