Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaWhen Matt Damon's character, Paul, pulls up to his new downsized home, his driver says; 'welcome to the good life". Paul makes a face in response. "The good life" is the state motto of Nebraska, the home he had just left.
- GoofsAfter making such a point that non living matter (hair, feces) cannot be downsized in the process, what about fingernails and toenails? They are made of the same dead substance (keratin) as hair, so technically the small people should come out of the process with full-sized, relatively giant nails.
- Quotes
Ngoc Lan Tran: Other night on boat, what kind of fuck you give me?
Paul Safranek: What?
Ngoc Lan Tran: What kind of fuck you give me?
Paul Safranek: What kind? I don't...
Ngoc Lan Tran: American people, eight kind of fuck. Love fuck, hate fuck, sex-only fuck, break-up fuck, make-up fuck, drunk fuck, buddy fuck, pity fuck.
- Crazy creditsThe first half of the end credits feature the camera zooming out from the chest outward of Leonardo da Vinci's famous drawing Vitruvian Man.
- Alternate versionsThere is a special version (probably edited for nudity and language) that can be found on television.
