Reviews for Honey, I Shrunk the Kids
Though 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.
The special effects are all there, nicely in place, and the production values are sound, but the movie is dead in the water.
