The 1950s sci-fi staple gets infused with 1980s consumer-culture satire--and a gender switch--as Lily Tomlin portrays Pat Kramer, an average housewife whose years of exposure to the latest chemical labor-savers cause her to slowly dwindle in size. Though Pat becomes a media sensation, can a cure be found before she disappears from sight? Charles Grodin, Ned Beatty, Henry Gibson, and Rick Baker as Sidney the gorilla co-star in Joel Schumacher’s directorial debut; based on Richard Matheson’s 1956 novel "The Shrinking Man." 89 min. Widescreen; Soundtrack: English.
