Underrated.. Single Ladies Downsizing?


I can't believe all the negative reviews for this.

It's one of the most interesting movie's to be released lately. I suppose it does have a different tone than expected and you could tell the marketing department didn't know how to correctly sell it. But man its miles ahead of the brain dead comedy that gets released on the regular.

On a separate note all of the single young ladies at the party? Why would an attractive young single woman downsize? It seems like most of the people are doing it for the financial incentive.

For families it makes sense for financial reasons and a better life for the kids, for older single men it makes sense to do it and live life rich. But what reason would an attractive young woman downsize and what reason would result in a equal if not better ratio in small communities? It's a movie but just thoughts. You gotta think as well women are typically more attached to their families (ie his wife) and would have a tougher time separating even for the advantages.
