Cult Cuts Volume 53 (Return to the Video Store: The Undefined Part Three)
#4/4: The Incredible Shrinking Woman
(8/10): A Well Meaning Sci-Fi Comedy with a fun concept to boot.
The Incredible Shrinking Woman is about a housewife who tests her husband's new perfume brand that he is going to try and sell to his company.
She starts to slowly shrink in height and eventually becomes a nationwide celebrity but with all the attention coming towards her family and her growing inability to do even the most basic of household duties she starts becoming a second wheel.
She is eventually so small that their housemaid thought that she had accidentally killed her in the food grinder in the sink.
She in fact is alive but taken hostage by a company that is using her as a Guinea Pig for a new bio weapon that shrinks people down to such small heights that they are unable to fight back.
She finds out about the plot and has to find a way out of captivity and find a way to warn the public before they release it or she shrinks into nothing.
Directed by Joel Schumacher, yes Justice League Schumacher, this film is a heartwarming and fun little film that was another standout film on the shelves of the local video store.
The Film is carried by its lead in Lily Tomlin and all the fun special effects that portray her stages of shrinking.
The movie has a very feel good nature to it that makes it also just a joy to watch but it also delivers on some more dramatic scenes as well.
It also has one of the most fun escape sequences I've seen in a while where our tiny heroine rides an ape through the lab complex and the Ape has just such a lovable personality.
The movie isn't perfect but it's still better than you would think it is, good enough that I would totally recommend it.
