Review of Honey, We Shrunk Ourselves (1997) by Claire T — 18 Oct 2012

This continuation of Honey, I Shrunk the Kids will appeal mostly to a young audience. Most of the dialog is too light-weight and unbelievable. Typical is the scene where the two mothers swap recipes as they are dangerously pulled high in the air by the daddy longlegs. Rick Moranis returns to portray Wayne Szalinski. He is the only returning cast member from the previous films. Alternating with the antics of the kids are the trials and tribulations of the adults as they move through the house attempting to attract the kids' attention. The special effects are fairly straightforward, but the attacking cockroach and the helpful daddy longlegs are particularly well done. This film borders on the annoying, especially the adults and their screaming. Some the the things they did were also "over the top" even for this type of film. (the "bubble" ride especially). The whole show is like this -- a pleasant, inoffensive retelling of the shrunken people story.

VERDICT: "Not So Hot" - [Negative Reaction] These films are truly terrible films. They are not the worst things ever made, but they are definitely awful and should not be seen by anyone. (Films that are rated 1.5 or 2 stars).
