So much average

Memorable, crazy movie

This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.

The thing I enjoyed most about the film is the fact that it doesn't shy away from being a super-sized-cliche;

Wayne Szalinzki, a wacky, absent-minded inventor, is back again but only this time he decides to use his infamous shrink machine just one more time. The first 2 films in this Trilogy were so fun, light and just with a tone of adventure and really good perfomances but the 3rd film feels like a cheap knock off in front of the previous movies. It's direct to vhs, the special effects were horrible (especially the scene with the hot wheels car), the kids were mostly absent and even kind of dumb and lot's of characters have been recast and it was kind of weird. (3/10)

I like this movie! I do! I find myself watching this one more so than the first & second. Having grown up in the 90s, I was first introduced to 'Honey, I Shrunk The Kids!' (1989) from an early age & I have to say the special effects are just pure genius. I've never really cared so much for the second movie 'Honey, I Blew Up The Kid!' Not a bad sequel but the real winner is this trilogy. I think it's more fun to watch & it's very clear the real stars of the movie are the adults; Rick Moranis plays it cool with his scientific knowledge & creations of attracting the kids attention. Eve Gordon (Diane) is just hilarious! & I've always liked her as an actress but her comedic skills really show during this movie, her facial expressions are spot on (especially during the insect attack) but then she's just a pleasure to watch throughout the whole movie. If only all moms were like her! I also like Robin Bartlett (Patti) another great actress who shows no fear when it comes to heights & daddy longlegs. & Stuart Pankin I'm not familiar with but I'll give him credit for his chirpy upbeat character (Gordon).The supporting roles of the kids are clearly on form. Allison Mack (Jenny) great actress, although she was only 15 at the time of filming this movie, she's gone on to star in bigger & better projects ('Smallville' of course). The teenagers that gate crash the party do become annoying. Like you'd really enter someone's house & disrepect the place like they do? & how many times does 'Ricky King's' full name need to be said in one scene? The special effects in the movie are great! Fantastic considering the movie was made on a low budget & I particularly love the race car track scene! Brilliant too watch & makes me wish I was shrunk to be able to do that. The cast must have really had a blast filming this movie especially that scene. Very likeable entertainment & clearly the adults in the movie are having more fun than the kids! It's definitely a 10/10 for me this. Very impressed with the film. One in which I do quite like to watch.... over & and over again!!

I imagine that if you're looking for harmless family fun, then "honey, We Shrunk Ourselves" would fit that bill. It's all right there in the title; someone's going to be shrunk and this time, it's the adults. For me, it's another demon spawn of the Disney DTV sausage factory that was chugging along in the '90s. It's not so much the direction (whoa, Dean Cundey!) but the Disney sitcom script; one flat joke after the next. It's hard to sit though and - well, it's best to skip.4/10

This is the second movie sequel to Honey, I Shrunk the Kids, a story about absent-minded scientist Wayne Szalinski (Rick Moranis) accidentally shrinking himself, his wife, his brother and sister-in-law to microscopic sizes with his shrinking machine. What results is another wild adventure as the adults must navigate through the now humongous everyday items like household objects and insects to get the children's attention to restore them back to size.It is another amusing plot device to see the usual everyday stuff become huge obstacles and used for new purposes for the adults. All these epic proportion objects and creatures are highlighted in some great and believable special effects; I especially liked the huge but friendly daddy-long-leg and its encounter with the adults. Moranis is likable as Wayne Szalinski and Marcia Strassman is zany as his wife, Diane. Stuart Pankin as Gordon Szalunski was a little too much of a loud-mouth and overacted. The younger characters didn't take center stage; therefore, we didn't get any sappy teenage romance on the side or any childish antics. At 74 min, this is a pretty short movie, so, the plot really concentrated on the action and fun overall and didn't have room for boring filler scenes. Overall, it is a mostly entertaining film from start to finish - it's a typical, silly, whimsical Disney movie for everybody.Grade B
