Reviews for Honey, I Shrunk the Kids
Except for the demise of an endearing ant, the film keeps everything in perspective and is amusing and light-hearted throughout.
01/01/00
The special effects are all there, nicely in place, and the production values are sound, but the movie is dead in the water.
01/01/00
Top CriticA funny, silly, even exciting adventure for younger audiences with a nice pro-family message that doesn't get in the way.
01/01/00
As sweet, straightforward and funny as its title.
05/20/03
Top CriticThough it relies on special effects, this cutie-pie caper never loses sight of the protagonists amid the bigger-than-life Cheerios and 40-foot blades of grass.
01/01/00
Top CriticMuch better than it seems it has a right to be.
01/01/00
This Disneyfied version of The Incredible Shrinking Man isn't so bad -- it at least features some reasonable special effects.
01/01/00
They don't make pre-teen entertainment like this anymore, and that's a crime...retains a filmmaking purity that's timeless, aging well against a summer of now dated motion pictures.

[It's] in the best tradition of Disney -- and even better than that, because it is not so juvenile that adults won't be thoroughly entertained.
10/18/08
Top CriticA wonderful blend of thrills, character, and humor that will keep both children and adults charmed and engaged throughout.
03/09/09
The special effects have moved on a bit since the 1950s, but this is old-fashioned Disney fun.
03/09/09
enjoyably goofy
06/28/05
One of the better Disney live-action flicks from the '80s.
