Very Cool!!!

Just what I expected

Excellent and certainly provocative... If nothing else, the film is a real conversation starter.

Story: It's very simple but honestly that is fine.

The Szalinski family is back, this time hilarious disaster strikes when an experiment causes their new toddler son to grow many stories tall. I loved the original 'Honey i Shrunk the Kids' and the sequel is just as good. Alot of fun, great perfomances from a terrific and talented cast but also terrific special effects for it's time and not some cgi baby. Also i had completely forgot that Keri Russell (Mission Impossible III) and Lloyd Bridges (Hot Shots!!) were even in this movie. Honey i Blew Up the Kid is for sure not better than the first but it's no 4.8 either!!

This movie is the sequel to the movie "Honey, I Shrunk the Kids", a highly successful comedy film. Here, the story continues, with the machine still working the wrong way. This time, the younger son of Professor Szalinski (Rick Moranis) was unwittingly widened to the height of a giant. And if a normal baby gives work to parents, imagine a gigantic baby... The film continues to make you laugh like the first and have moments of great tenderness. However, it does not have the same strength as the first film. Here, we already know what that machine can do, especially given the successive distractions of its creator. The other children scientist also enter the film, which retained the original cast, but it is the mother, Diane (Marcia Strassman) who has particular relevance in this sequel. Despite being a sequel, the film maintained a good quality and went well. It's interesting, fun, good to see in family, especially if you have children.

Wayne Szalinski (Rick Moranis) is at it again in Nevada. His house is full of his inventions. His wife Diane (Marcia Strassman) takes their daughter Amy away to college. His son Nick pines for the lovely Mandy Park (Keri Russell). Wayne has licensed his invention to Sterling Labs but they have trouble enlarging. While Wayne and Nick work on the machine, little Adam gets zapped without their knowledge. Soon Adam is growing larger and larger as he wrecks havoc upon Las Vegas.There is something fun and magical about kids shrunk down living in the small world. A giant baby isn't the same thing. It plays differently like a B-horror hybrid. I'm not sure why the sister comes and then leaves the movie. Maybe she had something better to do. Also I don't like putting a corporation and military into the mix. It has some fun moments but it gets more and more tiresome.

My Take: Like always, special effects can't save this one. This sequel to the B-fantasy movie hit "Honey,I Shrunk the Kids" has a lesser formula compared to its predecessor, but it's still quite enjoyable, most especially for the kiddies. This sequel has Rick Moranis inventing another machine which, this time, makes things grow rather than shrinking. Well, accidentally, he blows up his baby to giant size. Moranis makes things funny, and the special-effects are great. Mostly, without Stuart Gordon and Brian Yuzna doing the writing job, it's mostly B-movie in style of the cult, camp movie "Attack of the 50-foot Woman", only this one has a kid.Its kinda fun for those boring nights, wherein you have nothing to do and mostly nothing to watch. It's not as much fun as the first, but as old-fashioned Disney movies go, this one ain't half bad. Rating: *** out of 5.
