Reviews for Honey, I Shrunk the Kids
A funny, silly, even exciting adventure for younger audiences with a nice pro-family message that doesn't get in the way.
Except for the demise of an endearing ant, the film keeps everything in perspective and is amusing and light-hearted throughout.
This Disneyfied version of The Incredible Shrinking Man isn't so bad -- it at least features some reasonable special effects.
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.
