在《缩身》中，亚历山大·佩恩描写了一对财政紧张的夫妇，为了节省开支他们决定“缩身”——把自己变得更小，这样日常消耗也就少多了。然而在缩身开始前的最后一秒，妻子退怯了，只有丈夫进行了缩身。由此带来的结果是，迷你小丈夫（马特·戴蒙）与妻子在很多方面开始出现不和谐，夫妻关系陷入紧张。A social satire in which a man realizes he would have a better life if he were to shrink himself to five inches tall, allowing him to live in wealth and splendor.
