I was about to argue against this, but after rewatching the trailer, there are no scenes with Wiig post-shrink... so it looks like that plot point stuck. However, Hong Chau's character is a Vietnamese activist who was shrunk against her will by the Vietnamese government, so I'm curious to see how they explore that.

While obviously I'm interested in this movie because of shrinking, I like the idea of exploring the effects of it in our society. Also, it's very clearly commentary on Western masculinity, which I'm okay with.
