Review of Honey, I Shrunk the Kids (1989) by Tanner B — 13 Aug 2017
Honey, I Shrunk the Kids (1989) C-93m. ?? D: Joe Johnston. Rick Moranis, Marcia Strassman, Amy O'Neill, Robert Oliveri, Matt Frewer. Naive father accidentally shrinks his kids and their neighbor's kids into size of insects.
He searches for them while they take on dangers of being puny. Slow-moving, disappointing children's film further undermined by limited adventure and lack of giddy-up. Major benefit: Moranis' extremely winning presence as innocuous dad.
A kind of re-imagining of THE INCREDIBLE SHRINKING MAN, but mostly confined outdoors. Followed by HONEY, I BLEW UP THE KID (also with Moranis) and than a straight-to-video sequel, HONEY, WE SHRUNK OURSELVES.
