“u0026quot;Honey, I Shrunk the Kidsu0026quot; is a quite unusual adventure/comedy film, one of the most eccentric movies of all time. Itu0026#39;s one of those live-actions films produced by Disneyu0026#39;s studios.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThe movieu0026#39;s title refers to Wayne Szalinski, a stereotypical nutty/mad scientist. He invents a machine with the ability of shrinking objects to a size even smaller than ants. This character is portrayed by Rick Moranis, the perfect actor for a role like this (with his intellectual looks).u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eRick Moranis is funny as Wayne Szalinski, Matt Frewer is hilarious as the impatient and temperamental u0026quot;Bigu0026quot; Russell Thompson. The kids also do a good job: Thomas Wilson Brown as the clever u0026quot;Littleu0026quot; Russell Thompson, Jared Rushton as the paranoid Ron Thompson and Robert Oliveri as the nerd Nick Szalinski. One of the funniest parts for me is when u0026quot;littleu0026quot; Russell forces his brother Ron to confess that he broke Szalinskiu0026#39;s window with his baseball.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThe Szalinski kids (Nick and Amy) and the Thompson kids (u0026quot;Littleu0026quot; Russell and Ron, the Szalinskiu0026#39;s neighbors) are accidentally shrunk by the machine and thrown into the garbage by accident. Because they are so tiny, they live a big adventure full of dangers and nightmares (from insects to a remote-controlled lawn mower) until reaching their house, something which would only take seconds on their normal size.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThe story becomes a bit odd and of a somehow discussable taste, but it also makes the difference… for good and for bad. However, I must be fair: at least this is a thousand times better than those stupid u0026quot;Problem Childu0026quot; movies. Not that they have anything in common, but… u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eOverall, nothing extraordinary, but amusing, hilarious, great fun, entertaining, original, bizarre and with some funny lines («French class» is just one among many others). Thereu0026#39;s also a certain 80u0026#39;s charm on it.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThe success of this movie inspired a very imaginative 3D film created as an amusement for Disneyland parks around the world called u0026quot;Honey, I Shrunk the Audienceu0026quot;.”
