I like the storyline of this show,it attract me so much
Admirable film.
A Major Disappointment
The acting in this movie is really good.
Honey, I Shrunk the Kids belongs in the canon of classic live-action Disney movies. It's a fun and clever movie with memorable characters and strong performances. The story works for children and adults and the special effects are still pretty believable after 20 years. Wow! It really came out over 20 years ago? I suddenly feel old.
This film is pretty good. It is funny, inventive, and memorable. The acting in this film is really well done. The story, while somewhat flawed, is mostly well written as well. I was impressed with how this film turned out and I think it is indeed one of Rick Moranis's most memorable. However, there isn't a pretty great film without its flaws, and this is no different. While the story is well written, I feel like the movie stretched out the whole being shrunken in grass much too long. I was waiting for them to finally get out of the grass and maybe explore the whole house instead of just the attic and kitchen table. Because of this, this film feels very stretched and kind of seems more of something that could have been made into 30 minutes due to how kind of dragged on it feels. But besides that, I think this film is very memorable and a staple of the filmography of Rick Moranis, and I think anyone who hasn't seen it yet will most likely enjoy it, like I did for the most part.
Have you ever just wanted to watch a fun, humorous, adventurous film that literally the entire family can enjoy? Well, you've come to the right movie!For a basic plot summary, "Honey, I Shrunk The Kids" begins with eccentric inventor Way Selinsky (Rick Moranis) crafting a machine to shrink objects to minuscule proportions. After an unfortunate baseball-through-the-window accident, the two Selinsky children (and two neighbor pals) are shrunk down and thrown out with the trash. The rest of the film focuses on their quest back home through a grass jungle, swarms of bees, giant ants, and the dreaded lawnmower.There are few movies that can be enjoyed by both old and young simultaneously. Usually, the jokes either use childish situations as a conduit to adult humor, or pander to the kiddies with enough syrupy sap to make adults nearly wretch. Fortunately, this film succeeds in both areas. The characters and drama are children fare, but the crazy adventures and touch of heart are enough to keep seasoned viewers tuned in for the duration.Is this little adventure flick an all-time family classic? Not necessarily...I don't know if anything starring Moranis truly can be. What it is, however, is a fun, quirky, 93-minutes filled with laughs, thrills, and even a bit of emotion thrown in. Avoid the sub-par sequels, but at least give this one a look for its originality and spectacle.
I was initially settling on a rating of six stars out of ten, but upped it to seven because this movie is one of those movies that truly withstands the test of time. It was great family entertainment back in 1989, and it is still equally good today.The story in "Honey, I Shrunk the Kids" has something for everyone in the family. It is about an inventor who has invented a shrinking ray device. And when his son and daughter along with the two neighbor boys are accidentally shrunk, they are on an adventure of big proportions in an attempt to cross their own backyard and get back to the lab.Taken into consideration that the movie is from 1989, then the effects are still okay for today. Of course not able to match the incredible CGI that we have in movies today. But back then it was fabulous, and it is still sufficient by today for what it was supposed to do.The cast in the movie was good, as it usually is in Walt Disney movies. Rick Moranis is, as always, great on the screen, as were Matt Frewer. But actually the whole cast were doing good jobs with their roles and characters.As mentioned earlier, this is a wholesome family movie. And if you haven't already seen it, you should take the time to sit down and watch it, especially if you have a younger child in the family.
