Nonureva Really Surprised!

Bluebell Alcock Ok... Let's be honest. It cannot be the best movie but is quite enjoyable. The movie has the potential to develop a great plot for future movies

cricketbat Honey, I Shrunk the Kids belongs in the canon of classic live-action Disney movies. It's a fun and clever movie with memorable characters and strong performances. The story works for children and adults and the special effects are still pretty believable after 20 years. Wow! It really came out over 20 years ago? I suddenly feel old.

Oliver Thatcher Watson This film is pretty good. It is funny, inventive, and memorable. The acting in this film is really well done. The story, while somewhat flawed, is mostly well written as well. I was impressed with how this film turned out and I think it is indeed one of Rick Moranis's most memorable. However, there isn't a pretty great film without its flaws, and this is no different. While the story is well written, I feel like the movie stretched out the whole being shrunken in grass much too long. I was waiting for them to finally get out of the grass and maybe explore the whole house instead of just the attic and kitchen table. Because of this, this film feels very stretched and kind of seems more of something that could have been made into 30 minutes due to how kind of dragged on it feels. But besides that, I think this film is very memorable and a staple of the filmography of Rick Moranis, and I think anyone who hasn't seen it yet will most likely enjoy it, like I did for the most part.

SnoopyStyle Wayne Szalinski (Rick Moranis) is a hopeless inventor working on a new shrink ray. It's getting into the way of his marriage to Diane (Marcia Strassman). She's taking a break. His next door neighbor Big Russ Thompson (Matt Frewer) is annoyed. While all the adults are away, Ron Thompson hits a baseball knocking off the shrink ray. Little Russ Thompson forces Ron next door to apologize. Russ actually likes Amy Szalinski. The shrink ray miniaturizes all four kids. Then Wayne returns and sweeps everybody up. He throws the kids out into the yards before he realizes too late.The silly title hides a fun little family movie. It is a cheerful, joyful adventure. It's sincere. It's old fashion Disney and that's the charm of it. The special effects is charming and never gets too scary. It has a few thrills. There's even a giant cookie. The kids are not the greatest actors but that also has a charm of its own. Rick Moranis hones in his dorkiness. This is simple family fun.

slightlymad22 I just watched this movie with my 8 year old son on TV."Honey I Shrunk The Kids" is Good old fashioned 80's family fun. As (and I don't think this is too much of a spoiler) inventor Rick Mirranis inadvertently shrinks his kids. The likable cast is headed by Rick Morranis as the inventor Dad, Marcia Strassman as the Real Estate Mom and Amy O'Neill as the popular teenage daughter. Matt Frewer and Kristine Sutherland are the neighbours whose kids are shrunk along with Morranis's kids.The story is filled with the standard elements, the feuding neighbours, the next door neighbour boy who has a crush on the daughter, the intelligent son who is bullied by the neighbours kid, the workaholic parents who learn the error of their ways and of course the happy ending but the movie is anything but standard.Some of the special effects are a bit dated, but that does not stop your enjoyment of it!! My 8 year old said "that looked so fake" but he was still entertained for 90 mins. It's silly, but I enjoyed a lot of it.
