The four-inch-tall Clock family secretly share a house with the normal-sized Lender family, "borrowing" such items as thread, safety pins, batteries and scraps of food. However, their peaceful co-existence is disturbed when evil lawyer Ocious P. Potter steals the will granting title to the house, which he plans to demolish in order to build apartments. The Lenders are forced to move, and the Clocks face the risk of being exposed to the normal-sized world.

🔍 Search on JustWatch →This is a comedy that knows its limits. Doesn't reach for grotesque when irony is enough, doesn't ask the audience to take things too seriously.
Worth watching for a good mood and a couple of genuinely funny moments. Doesn't promise depth — but doesn't pretend to have it either.
Good for watching with people who need to unwind after a long day. Not for those seeking depth.
