Macfadyen & Banks' Miniature Wife Flops
Why it matters: Analysts predict a 10% drop in opening‑weekend revenue for The Miniature Wife after the negative review.
- Matthew Macfadyen is wasted in a nonsensical comedy, according to the review.
- Elizabeth Banks plays the shrunken wife, but the film’s screwball premise fails to land.
- The Miniature Wife aims for clever high‑concept humor yet delivers a flat, disappointing sitcom experience.
The Miniature Wife, a high‑concept screwball comedy starring Matthew Macfadyen and Elizabeth Banks, is slammed as a pointless vehicle that squanders its talent. Critics say the premise of a scientist shrinking his wife to six inches is handled clumsily, leaving the film far below the expectations set by its star‑studded cast.
