This is How Movies Should Be Made

It really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.

Blistering performances.

A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.

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.

The people at Disney are smart when it comes to making money. They knew that when "Honey, I Shrunk the Kids" was a real financial success, they could do the opposite thing and it would also bring in more bucks. And it did. However, the story has a big problem, which is mentioned by others. Everything is predicated on a baby, getting to be 100 feet high, reacting to things like a baby would to colors and light and interesting objects. The problem is that the joke gets stale about half way through the movie. When the little big guy becomes a threat, it gets sort of serious. It's up to Wayne to figure something out. If you don't want to use your brain at all, go see this. Otherwise, save a few buck and check out something with a little substance.

I'll admit that I loved the first movie, "Honey, I shrunk the kids" with Rick Moranis (Ghostbusters) playing the usual dorky self where not only did his machine shrunk his kids along with two neighbor kids, it was quite an adventure without being too cute. In this sequel, it's not about tiny but about large in which this time around Wayne Szalinski (Moranis) has invented a machine to make things bigger than their normal size. His target this time is his newborn toddler Adam where he accidentally gets in the way of an experiment to make himself ten times bigger than Godzilla where he even rocks through Las Vegas and takes a guitar.I didn't like this film one bit where I thought it was too cute to bring in the baby as I wished that maybe somebody would've taken an animal and let them take a bite out of the writers.

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.
