  • Honey, I Blew Up The Kid
  • HONEY, I BLEW UP THE KID is the hilarious sequel to the enormously popular comedy hit, HONEY, I SHRUNK THE KIDS -- and an even GREATER adventure! This time, wacky inventor Wayne Szalinski (Rick Moranis) accidentally zaps his two-and-a-half-year-old son with a particle beam, causing the child to grow whenever coming in contact with electricity. Soon topping 112 feet, the overgrown baby is attracted to the bright, shiny lights of Las Vegas, and nothing stands in his way! Now the chase is on. The excitement is growing. And you're headed for thrills and laughter bigger than ever!

    ...abandons the first film's sense of character and leans more heavily toward gimmick.

    Another forced and charmless sequel spawned from a surprisingly fun flick.

    As far as sequels to mediocre movies go, this one's okay.
