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.

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.

For a sequel then "Honey, I Blew Up the Kid" isn't too bad, as in comparison to many other sequels. However, It just wasn't fully as fun and good as the first movie. They shouldn't have gone in the scaling-up direction, as it just didn't really work out. Don't get me wrong though, I am not saying that it is a bad movie.This is, like the first movie, a fun and wholehearted movie for the entire family. Personally, I liked the shrinking in the first movie much more.The story is, well, quite the opposite from the first movie. In "Honey, I Blew Up the Kid", the youngest Szalinski member, Adam, is exposed to the growth ray and turns into a towering giant baby.If you enjoyed the first movie then you will also enjoy the sequel, because it is right in the same spirit and genre.Rick Moranis, Marcia Strassman and Robert Oliveri returns from the first movie. But Amy O'Neill was nowhere to be seen. But the sequel has other familiar faces on the cast list; Lloyd Bridges, John Shea, Keri Russell and Ron Canada."Honey, I Blew Up the Kid" is a sequel that is fairly worthy of the first movie.

Things haven't changed much for Wayne Szalinski (Rick Moranis). Years after the events of "Honey, I Shrunk The Kids," he's still tinkering with new inventions, the latest of which, enlarges -- rather than shrinks -- it's targets. After losing control of his own project, he inadvertently enlarges his toddler son, resulting in plenty of bad green-screen effects and illogical plot-holes. The youngest Szalinski grows to be over 150 feet tall and makes his way to Las Vegas, only to match wits with Lloyd Bridges, Bill Moseley and Keri Russell, to name a few.What can be expected of a sequel to "Honey, I Shrunk The Kids?" The answer: Not much. Admittedly, this movie was enjoyable when I dragged my family to see it in theaters as a wee-lad, but now, upon a much-delayed second viewing on outdated VHS, I can safely say that this film just doesn't live up to the clever and just plain fun spirit of it's predecessor. Truth be told, it's -- as the summary suggests -- a glorified b-movie. Entertaining only to see Rick Moranis do his thing and to say "Hey, look! It's Bill "Chop-Top" Moseley!" Even without taking it too seriously, it's not even fun to mock. Like most Disney sequels, it's hollow, soul-less and is just barely entertaining. As much fun as it is to re-visit long lost movies of our childhood, this one fails to hold up. At the very least, it's better than the third film that followed in it's wake, but certainly a glimpse into some of the mindless entertainment that the 90's provided for it's children. Unfortunately, a lot of the worst movies from that era chose babies as their subject matter.

While flicking through the TV Guide one day i realised that this film was showing on BBC One that afternoon, that was OK but then i realised that funny man Lloyd Bridges was starring in it. That's why i chose to watch it, if he wasn't in it i probably wouldn't have watch Wayne is at it again. But instead of shrinking things, he tries to make a machine that can make things grow. As in the first one, his machine isn't quite accurate. But 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. Now, whenever Adam comes near anything electrical, the electricity causes him to grow. Adam soon starts to grow to the height of 150 feet. And he is now walking through Las Vegas which he thinks is one big play land.It wasn't a laugh out loud comedy, i wasn't rolling on the floor laughing with tears coming down my face, i was just chuckling at parts, its not very funny, just funny in parts.So overall it's an alright film, i would've splash out on the DVD though, but if it's on on a boring Saturday afternoon i probably watch it again!6/10
