Downsizing


Actors: Matt Damon, Christoph Waltz, Hong Chau, Kristen Wiig, Jason Sudekis, Udo Keir
Rating: 8 out of 10, A Matt Damon vehicle that was sold, at least in the previews, as a comedy about an everyman getting shrunk down to five inches in size. I really liked this movie on a second viewing; I must have been in a bad mood at the theater. Damon won me over this second time through as his performance is a lot more layered than I originally thought. The environmental message is just a vehicle and the importance of human connection transcends all. The quirky love story between Damon and Hong Chau is delightful. It perked up whenever Christoph Waltz or Hong Chau were on the screen.
MVP: Hong Chau as the irrepressible one legged Vietnamese Tran
