Honey, We Shrunk Ourselves!

Enjoyable family film from Disney. I like movies of many different genres, from supernatural thrillers to the classics. This pleasant film reminded me of one of the Disney films from the 1960s with a simple premise. Good use of computer graphics to create a "giant" cockroach and a Daddy longlegs. Recommended for age 6 and up.

After a pretty good "Honey, I Shrunk the Kids" (1989) and a mediocre, but acceptable sequel "Honey, I Blew Up the Kid" (1992), Rick Moranis returns in the third film to drive the last nail into the coffin of the franchise. The film only lasts a few minutes over an hour, but even that is too long considering the amount of original ideas it brings. "Honey, We Shrunk Ourselves!" only rehashes ideas from the first film in a slightly different arrangement, totally unoriginal, unimaginative and humorless, with predominantly embarrassingly bad effects. Except for Rick, all the actors are replaced, and if he had been smart, he wouldn't have replayed the role either. Acceptable for children, but not for parents, unless you are really interested in seeing fourteen-year-old Mila Kunis in one of her first movie appearances.

4/10

This movie is cute for one of those nights with the kids. It is a clean movie that the whole family can enjoy. Of course it is not the kind of movie you would see win any awards or get any real recognition but it is enjoyable and a nice movie for families to watch.

I guess I didn't just hate this show, but it didn't grab me real good either. It wasn't as good as the original, but much better than "Honey, I Blew Up the Kid", which was pretty dull. The race car scene and the bubble episode were fun, but I suppose I feel this horse has been run into the ground.

The Honey, I Shrunk the Kids franchise was a huge deal and not to mention very famous. I loved Honey, I shrunk the Kids when I was little. It was an original story and had such an exciting plot! The sets were so amazing and the cast seemed like they enjoyed each other's company. Now Honey, I blew up the kid was pretty stupid, so I think they wanted to go back to the story that everyone loved.

Basically, Adam is a little more grown up now and the mom's are going on vacation to leave their husbands with their children. But when Wayne's favorite item is threatened for the garbage, he wants to shrink it and keep it, but he and his brother get in the way. But when the wives come back after forgetting to give some meds to their son, they get caught in the machine as well, leaving the kids in the house alone!

The plot is silly, but like I said, it was just a family film that I think some might get a kick out of. The original Honey, I Shrunk the Kids is the best, I think everyone could agree. The third one wasn't so bad, I would recommend this one at least over Honey, I Blew Up the Kid movie, it was at least a little more fun.
