This decision leads to all the unexpected , life - change , Talking Heads - soundtracked actualisation that one would expect from an Alexander Payne movie .

In the second house trailer forDownsizingfromParamount Pictures(see above ) , liveliness for Paul and Audrey is an unending grind of thankless study - before a solution to their mind - numbing crisis seems to represent itself in the form of a lilliputian Jason Sudeikis . Despite being five - inches grandiloquent , Sudeikis is prominent with infectious ebullience , and soon Paul and Audrey are sign on up to be reduce themselves .
