Josh (Chad Gordon) is a senior in high school with a bad self-image. He's short, 5'3". Everyday he leaps out of bed and measures his height on a wall ruler but is always disappointed. Nevertheless, he is an ace science student and has just perfected a mini Nautilus boat from 20,000 leagues under the Sea to win the next fair. Best pal Rudy offers support for Josh's image problem and gets an idea. It seems Rudy's bizarre pal Molly is a computer whiz; perhaps she can find a solution on the Internet. Amazingly, Molly does find a "growth" formula in a secret, protected site. Rudy and Josh head home and make the concoction before heading to a party given by beautiful Courtney (Lauren Petty). Although C has an obnoxious boyfriend, Blake, she may have eyes for Josh and personally invited him. Yet, when they get to the party, two things happen. One, Josh shrinks instead of growing and becomes small enough to fit in his wee Nautilus; this is good as he ends up thrown in the aquarium. Two, the mad scientist Krackle (Debra Mayer) is plenty peeved that her formula was stolen and is out to make the hackers pay! How will events end? This silly film is still plenty entertaining for families, as it is colorful, funny, and clean. Most everyone loves movies where the folks shrink down to ant size and this one is no different; kids will love the little guy in the submarine, dodging hungry goldfish. Therefore, although it is fluff, families will be macro-happy over the micro mini-kids.
