DVD Reviews of Honey, We Shrunk Ourselves
DVD Review: comedy
Summary: 5 Stars
This movie is my favorite because when your mind is preoccupied than everything in your life turns upside down and forget who you really are as a person. DVD Review: A Worthwhile Sequel
Summary: 4 Stars
Even though I really enjoyed Honey, I Shrunk the Kids, I did not care for the trailers for Honey, I Blew Up the Kid, so I skipped that one. But when Honey, We Shrunk Oursevles was released on the Disney Channel I wasted no time in watching it and loved it. I had taped it on video but decided to purchase it on DVD throgh Amazon. It was unfortunate that when it and the other DVD I ordered with it came in the middle of my moving to a new place so it was a while before I viewed it, and a while before my review. The disc played perfectly with no skips or other problems, and I enjoyed the antics of Wayne, Marcia, Gordon and Patty, as they tried to figure out a way to return themselves to full size while viewing with growing apprehension the antics of their children. While some scenes, such as how Marcia and Patty get transported to the top of the counter for Mitch's medicine, strained my credibility a little, it is still a movie that brings out a lot of laughs and chuckles. The part where some older boys break in on an impromptu party may be a bit much for younger kids. One scene involving Wayne and Marcia's son and a certain magazine that opened Wayne's eyes up to the fact maybe his son wasn't meant to be a scientist, and how Patty's daughter proves she is more responsible than her mother thought at first, might give parents insights into their own kids' feelings about similar matters.
DVD Review: They saved the best for last!
Summary: 5 Stars
I know that the first movie in this series is the classic, but if you ask me, the Real classic is this one. The storyline,the morals, the special affects, and the humor are all 100% better than the previous movies. Also, this movie is alot like "Home Alone" if you like "Home Alone", you will like this movie, too! It is very funny and also has a few loving morals. My favorite part is when the kids are doing all the things they were told not to do becuse they are home alone...(or think they are!!)
Every movie series is differant, sometimes the original is the original and best, sometimes they do better the 2nd time round, and sometimes they save the best movie for last, as they did here. so see the "Grand Finallie" of the series, the best of the series, the REAL classic!
DVD Review: Third Time is not as much of a Charm
Summary: 3 Stars
Remember the funny movie "Honey, I Shrunk the Kids," and the almost as funny "Honey, I Blew Up the Kid?" Well, this movie is much like those. Except in this movie there is a different wife. Oh; and there are kids missing. And now Wayne Szalinski's (Rick Moranis) brother Gordon (Stuart Pankin) has appeared. Perhaps this movie is not so much like those after all.
We quickly learn that a few things have changed for Wayne since last we visited him. The FDA has forbidden Wayne to use his shrinking machine on people. Wayne is in the process of sending his shrinking machine to the Smithsonian. Wayne and Gordon's wives are heading off to a vacation, leaving Wayne in Gordon in charge of the house.
All initially seems sort of well, except that Wayne wants to shrink a Tiki man that his wife wants to him to throw away. Predictably, something goes wrong and Wayne and Gordon are accidentally shrunk. Shortly thereafter the wives, realizing they forgot to leave medicine behind, return. Soon the wives are accidentally shrunk, and we are once again on a path for a few yucks and a few groans.
This movie is reasonably decent. Much of it seems somewhat of a retread. There are the usual moments of fear as the foursome run from a cockroach and help a daddy longlegs spider, more moments of fun in a ride on a toy car, a dip in the dip, a ride in a soap bubble, and more.
This direct-to-video movie has less imagination than the first two movies. The atmosphere of this 75 minute "full-length" feature is that of a made-for-tv movie. I did enjoy the movie, but I wish I had looked for it in a bargain bin somewhere rather than paying full price.
If you really liked the first two movies, you will likely enjoy this movie. If you cared little for the first two movies, you should avoid this one. Even if you think you might like it, the movie still feels like something made for the Disney channel. Good luck!
DVD Review: HARMLESS RETREAD
Summary: 3 Stars
This direct to video entry in the one-time imaginative series is mildly entertaining, although it is little more than an adult retread of the original. This time Rick Moranis (with a new wife played by Eve Gordon and only one kid this time) shrinks himself, his wife and his brother (Stuart Pankin) and his wife, and they find themselves confronting a giant cockroach as their main enemy, and a cute daddy longlegs helps the mommies out. It's not all that inventive but I found myself chuckling every once in a while. Might entertain the younger set.
Description of Honey, We Shrunk Ourselves
Get ready for king-sized laughs with Disney's brand-new sequel to the colossal movie hit, HONEY, I SHRUNK THE KIDS. Rick Moranis returns as wacky, absent-minded inventor Wayne Szalinski, a scientific giant who gets into huge trouble when he decides to use his infamous shrink machine just one more time. A tiny glitch causes Wayne, his brother, and their wives to shrink big time! Soon, they must brave household insects the size of dinosaurs, a treacherous loop-the-loop track in a toy race car, dizzying "balloon" rides inside soap bubbles, and more! Meanwhile, thinking they have the house all to themselves, the kids get into mega-mischief -- never guessing their pint-sized parents are watching their every move! With amazing special effects and nonstop excitement, HONEY, WE SHRUNK OURSELVES is a hilarious, heartwarming, hugely entertaining adventure for the entire family!General DVDs
