Downsized (2018)
This Matt Damon movie is on Amazon Prime so I watched it. I wish I hadn’t wasted the two plus hours. I thought it was a comedy, then figured it would be a romantic comedy, but it turned out to be a climate change lecture.

Don’t bother.

I had a similar impression after seeing it. Went into it expecting a comedy, based on the trailer(s).

i've really liked all of Alexander Payne's work to date that i've seen;

Nebraska (2013)
Sideways (2004)
About Schmidt (2002)
Election (1999)
Citizen Ruth (1996)

just couldn't make the leap to seek this latest one out.

It would have been better with a different Asian lady or with a different delivery. Her lines and delivery were nearly unbearable.

But diversity.
