 Great Kid Movie April 3, 2009

 Nice Sequel; Slightly Better Than The First Film February 22, 2009
Craig Connell (Lockport, NY USA)
Here's another example of the sequel being slightly better than the original, at least in my humble opinion. However, the original ("Honey, I Shrunk The Kids") was nothing super, not something you'd call a "classic." It was "pretty good." This one IS "good."
It had more laughs and less irritating kids. There is still the stupid teen romance, but not emphasized as much as in the first movie. The little kid in here, who is turned into a giant, is cute and affable and his giggle is fun to hear.
The first 40 minutes of this film are the best. It gets a little too silly after that. At the end, Disney succumbs to the craze of the early '90s: having a woman punch out a man. In this case, it was nice mother (Marcia Strassman.) Give me a break!
The special-effects were okay but not totally convincing. In fairness, it's not easy trying to produce the effects of a 100-foot child walking down the streets of Las Vegas, but they've still come along way from the days of "The Attack Of The 50- Foot Woman" in 1958. This movie would look more realistic with today's CGI technology.
Overall, some good laughs in the film and - with one exception - likable characters.
Honey, I Blew Up the Kid February 27, 2008
James Ronald Colyer (Nashville, Tennessee)
The only sequel better than the original. Rick Moranis stars as an eccentric inventor. He accidentally zaps Adam, his two-year-old, with a machine designed to enlarge things. Adam grows to over 100 feet tall. We are reminded of The Attack of the 50 Foot Woman, although Adam is a little kid and means no harm. He is cute in his red overalls. He terrorizes Las Vegas. He reminded me of my own kid, especially when he went for the Hard Rock Cafe guitar. The terrible twos take on a new meaning. Keri Russell is the baby sitter whom Adam's brother ties up. She grew up and went on to star in the delightful Waitress.

"Blew Up the Kid" delivers what you'd expect from a sci-fi family movie sequel. The jokes are fewer and farther between. The plot is more forced. The acting is even more overdone.
However, even for all the shortcomings, this is a fun movie to watch with the kids. Rick Moranis is reliably goofy and the special effects with a giant baby are not bad. Really the only complaint I had was that Lloyd Bridges should've been given more screen time. All in all, it's a good way to spend 90 minutes with the family.
