Cebalord Very best movie i ever watch
AniInterview Sorry, this movie sucks
Lidia Draper Great example of an old-fashioned, pure-at-heart escapist event movie that doesn't pretend to be anything that it's not and has boat loads of fun being its own ludicrous self.
Fleur Actress is magnificent and exudes a hypnotic screen presence in this affecting drama.
Filipe Neto This movie is the sequel to the movie "Honey, I Shrunk the Kids", a highly successful comedy film. Here, the story continues, with the machine still working the wrong way. This time, the younger son of Professor Szalinski (Rick Moranis) was unwittingly widened to the height of a giant. And if a normal baby gives work to parents, imagine a gigantic baby... The film continues to make you laugh like the first and have moments of great tenderness. However, it does not have the same strength as the first film. Here, we already know what that machine can do, especially given the successive distractions of its creator. The other children scientist also enter the film, which retained the original cast, but it is the mother, Diane (Marcia Strassman) who has particular relevance in this sequel. Despite being a sequel, the film maintained a good quality and went well. It's interesting, fun, good to see in family, especially if you have children.
FlashCallahan Wayne Szalinski is trying to make a machine that can make things grow. When he brings Nick & his toddler son Adam to see his invention, the machine unexpectedly starts working. And when Adam comes right up to the machine, he gets zapped along with his stuffed bunny. Whenever Adam comes near anything electrical, the electricity causes him to grow. Adam soon starts to grow to the height of over 100 feet, he is now heading toward Las Vegas, which he thinks is one big play land.........The first film was all about the effects and the dynamics between the shrunken kids. Moranis, as likable as he is, was just a name to sell the film with, after all, he's basically playing an intellectual Louis Tulley in this.But it was a huge hit, so it was inevitable that a sequel was given the green light, and while it was inevitable it wasn't going to be as good as the original, the concept is really good.It's basically King Kong as a gentle toddler, with Wayne trying to hide the fact that he's growing for a while, until it becomes obvious what is happening. This where the fundamental problem with the film lies, it doesn't know what to do when the toddler becomes gigantic, so we have Moranis doing all kinds of pratfalls around the animatronic baby parts, while his son is trying to woo Keri Russell.Lloyd bridges turns up near the end to fire the bad guy and mug at the screen, but it's the film loses its way halfway through, and even though it's predominantly an effects movie, it should care about the narrative a little.
kirk-246 'Honey, I Blew Up the Kid' is basically the same as the first movie, 'Honey, I shrunk the Kids'. There's only one major difference: the character doesn't get shrunk.Instead he gets blown up.I'm not talking about being blown up in an explosion.Do you actually think that would be allowed in a PG movie? No.He grows and grows until he's as tall as a skyscraper, but that happens at the end.There's also another difference between the 2 movies: the character who ends up shrunk or blown up is only a two year old.It may sound sort of predictable, but this movie will actually make a good movie that the whole family can enjoy.Just like the first, there's plenty of action and humor.Don't forget Rick Moranis.Honey, I just found a really good movie that we all can enjoy.
vip_ebriega My Take: Like always, special effects can't save this one. This sequel to the B-fantasy movie hit "Honey,I Shrunk the Kids" has a lesser formula compared to its predecessor, but it's still quite enjoyable, most especially for the kiddies. This sequel has Rick Moranis inventing another machine which, this time, makes things grow rather than shrinking. Well, accidentally, he blows up his baby to giant size. Moranis makes things funny, and the special-effects are great. Mostly, without Stuart Gordon and Brian Yuzna doing the writing job, it's mostly B-movie in style of the cult, camp movie "Attack of the 50-foot Woman", only this one has a kid.Its kinda fun for those boring nights, wherein you have nothing to do and mostly nothing to watch. It's not as much fun as the first, but as old-fashioned Disney movies go, this one ain't half bad. Rating: *** out of 5.
