Downsizing - Awful

idk what you're on about. I almost fell out of my chair laughing when Matt Damon dated that ugly woman. It was so funny because he's Matt Damon and she's so old and so ugly! And then he statutory rapes a mentally retarded girl. Comedy doesn't get much better than this.

I started to cringe in advance when they all left on the boat and I realized that our protagonist doesn't have a love interest, but you need one in those types of movies, so it has to be the asian girl doing her best Mickey Rooney in Breakfast at Tiffany's impression.
My theory is that this was never meant to be a comedy, but some producer got it in his head that this will only sell as a comedy. So they punched up the script as much as they could and directed the actors to act as over the top as they could. I think both Matt Damon and the girl that played asian-love-interest both understood what this was going to be during filming. MD looked like he was completely out for lunch for half his scenes and asian girl decided she's going to be the band on the deck of the titanic. At some level I enjoyed the movie, but I felt bad for the author. I think the story had great potential.
