Honey, I Shrunk the Kids Reviews

A kid-friendly version that pays homage to the 1957 sci-fi classic The Incredible Shrinking Man [with] the still-impressive special effects, thanks to Joe Johnston’s extensive VFX background in the original Star Wars trilogy and Raiders of the Lost Ark.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Jun 17, 2024

No matter what kind of consciousness-raising posture its makers may take, "Honey" is more a triumph of special effects than a social statement.

| Original Score: 2.5/5 | Jul 25, 2023

Very enjoyable to watch…a providential solution to taking the kids to the movie, without parental sacrifice. [Full review in Spanish]

...a fantastic premise that's employed to watchable yet thoroughly erratic effect...

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Dec 4, 2020

Like a Ray Harryhausen film for children, the consistently light tone allows the dangerous odyssey to remain fun, not frightening.

| Original Score: 8/10 | Sep 6, 2020

Using as many practical effects as possible, as well as the special effects of the day, director Joe Johnston's vision holds up incredibly well years later.

| Original Score: 4/5 | May 24, 2020

Not great. Not an all-time legendary accomplishment of family-friendly cinema. But pretty darn decent altogether.

| Original Score: 7/10 | May 27, 2013

Two-dimensional fun.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Jan 2, 2011

O visual oitentista e os efeitos visuais datados acabam contribuindo para o charme do filme, que ainda consegue divertir.

They don't make pre-teen entertainment like this anymore, and that's a crime...retains a filmmaking purity that's timeless, aging well against a summer of now dated motion pictures.

| Original Score: B+ | Aug 26, 2009

A wonderful blend of thrills, character, and humor that will keep both children and adults charmed and engaged throughout.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Mar 9, 2009

The special effects have moved on a bit since the 1950s, but this is old-fashioned Disney fun.

| Mar 9, 2009

[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.
