Review of Honey, I Shrunk the Kids (1989) by Filipeneto — 12 May 2018
There are some films that leave few memory in the cinematographic history but that make our personal memory go back in time. This is one of them. It is a rather entertaining family comedy where a very distracted scientist creates a machine that, inadvertently, shrinks his children until they are smaller than ants.
Of course Disney is behind this idea. The lead role is the scientist, Wayne Szalinski. Played by Rick Moranis (who played an unforgettable role in "Ghostbusters"), he's basically a super-stereotypical goofy nerd.
In fact, the whole movie is loaded with preconceived ideas, but this is not bad since this is a comedy and the idea is to laugh. And the film succeeds in that very easily, without recourse to easy jokes.
It's not a brilliant movie, it's far from a good movie, but entertain, it's great to watch with the whole family on a weekend or holiday. And that's what matters here.
