Can the kids exit the green maze of grass in one piece?
Leave your thoughts about Honey, I Shrunk the Kids.
| Cinema em CenaPablo VillaçaO visual oitentista e os efeitos visuais datados acabam contribuindo para o charme do filme, que ainda consegue divertir. |
| Deseret News (Salt Lake City)Chris HicksA funny, silly, even exciting adventure for younger audiences with a nice pro-family message that doesn't get in the way. |
| The Globe and Mail (Toronto)Rick GroenThe director, Joe Johnston, paces this adventure to suit the film's tone. It is swift and smooth, never wild or raucous. |
| VarietyVariety Staff[It's] in the best tradition of Disney -- and even better than that, because it is not so juvenile that adults won't be thoroughly entertained. |
| Chicago TribuneDave KehrHoney, I Shrunk the Kids is the happiest surprise of this summer so far, a children's film from Walt Disney Productions that effortlessly renews the best tradition of that studio's live-action features. |
| Tampa Bay TimesHal LipperThe special effects are all there, nicely in place, and the production values are sound, but the movie is dead in the water. It tells an amazing and preposterous story, and it seems bored by it. |
| Antagony & EcstasyTim BraytonNot great. Not an all-time legendary accomplishment of family-friendly cinema. But pretty darn decent altogether. |
| rec.arts.movies.reviewsMark R. LeeperMuch better than it seems it has a right to be. |
| rec.arts.movies.reviewsDavid N. ButterworthExcept for the demise of an endearing ant, the film keeps everything in perspective and is amusing and light-hearted throughout. |
| Los Angeles TimesMichael WilmingtonIn a weird way, what happens to the kids is what happens to the movie. The humans shrivel to crawling piffles or get deformed into caterwauling robots; the super-tall grass and the giant cookies and insects take over. |
