So, here is the deal. Paul (Matt Damon) and his wife decide to make a change and become small people. In doing so, they would dramatically reduce their footprint which will help save the world. They could also retire because small people need less of everything so their nest egg will be enough to last them. They could live the good life more or less.
Paul takes the plunge. He gets all miniature and stuff. Only, his wife decides to bail at the last minute. Paul's nest egg is cut in half because the two get divorced so he has to get a job.
It isn't all bad, though. There are interesting characters in Leisureland. He bonds with a Vietnamese woman and his neighbor is amusing. However, the movie eventually gets a bit dragged down when Paul and his new friends go to Norway where the movie ends in sucky fashion.
A better ending would have been for Paul to become a doctor (his dream job when he was young) in the small world. Maybe, instead of going to Norway, the group has to travel back to his hometown in Nebraska (big people) to solve some medical dilemma. When there he could run across his old friends including his wife. They could mix a little drama in there as Paul would have to choose between his ex-wife and his new Vietnamese girlfriend. Oh well.
