"...Sweet, straightforward and funny....An old-fashioned romp that conveys a sense of wonder..." 06/23/1989 p.C17Los Angeles Times
"...There's something delightful about this grotesque perversion of scale....HONEY, I SHRUNK THE KIDS is a prodigy of visuals and special effects..." 06/23/1989 p.C12 Chicago Sun-Times 7 of 10
The special effects used for these scenes are inventive and first-rate; we see blades of grass that tower over the tiny kids, a cigarette butt that looks like a glowing slag heap and an ant so big that all four kids can ride on it. Two of the kids hold on for dear life during a crazy flight on the back of a bumblebee, which leaves them covered with pollen the size of softballs. When the sprinkler is turned on, the yard explodes into a treacherous mud swamp, and when a lawn mower gets loose, it sets up a terrifying vortex. And there's a battle between an ant and another creature (a miniature scorpion, I guess, that reminded me a little of the battle of the monsters in King Kong). - Roger Ebert
