VHS Movie Reviews of Honey, I Shrunk the Kids
Movie Review: Good memories.
Summary: 4 Stars
Honey, I Shrunk the Kids starring Rick Moranis was a childhood favorite of mine. This family film is pretty creative and funny. Moranis is good at playing the smart but naive goofball. Great to watch with family and friends, enjoy!Movie Review: A great classic!
Summary: 5 Stars
I remember watching this movie when I was a kid, and loving every second of it! And, what do you know? I still do to this day!
Very creative story, great characters, all around good clean fun for everyone!
Movie Review: Good effects sans CGI
Summary: 4 Stars
I watched this a lot of times but never watched the 2 sequels (Honey I Blew Up the Kid, Honey We Shrunk Ourselves) after this. Still this original entertains me everytime I view it. Special effects weren't bad in this 1989 film considering that CGI weren't used. Some scaling though needs improvement. Matt Frewer as the obnoxious neighbour delivered the funny parts well. You wouldn't go wrong with this Disney movie. Movie Review: No widescreen version!
Summary: 2 Stars
Too sad.
I have widescreen TV and this dvd is annoying.
It has only full screen format.
Movie Review: Magical
Summary: 5 Stars
When I hear grown adults dog on this film, you gotta wonder about them. It is a kids film, yes, and clearly meant to be so. However, this goes far beyond the pale of normality within that genre. This was a first of its kind and well thought-out.
The kids all did such a fine job with their respective roles, better than the adults, really. All in all, I remember this film tapping my imagination the way no other film did of that era. Of course, I was nine years old, and it did what it was supposed to do.
When watching it now, I can still attest to its magic.
Recommended for the family.
Summary of Honey, I Shrunk the Kids
A deft balance between special effects, comedy, and family dynamics made this 1989 film a hit for Disney and spawned both a string of video sequels and a subsequent TV series. Moranis is endearing as the bumbling inventor/father of the Szalinski family. He inadvertently shrinks his own children then throws them out with the trash. They, along with the neighbor kids, must journey back across their own backyard, now an enormous, dangerous distance, to get back to the right height. Much is done with the perils of the lawn, from a wild deluge from the sprinklers to a nasty encounter with the lawnmower and numerous encounters with gigantic insects. A generally kid-friendly, inventive (no pun intended), and entertaining outing. --Keith SimantonAction & Adventure Video
