The Pitch: A man (Matt Damon) and his wife (Kristen Wiig) decide to have themselves shrunk in size in order to escape the chaos of their lives, but the wife backs out of the procedure at the last moment.

Why It's Ridiculous: Downsizing is the latest film from Alexander Payne, the writer-director behind comic dramas such as Sideways, The Descendants and Nebraska. It's nothing if not surprising to see him moving away from his grounded, ultra-realistic filmmaking style into something much more surreal ans bizarre.

Will It Be Any Good?: Payne has a strong track record, so it's easy to believe he'll pull this off no problem.
