Honey, I Blew Up the Kid Trailers

Wayne Szalinski is at it again. But instead of shrinking things, he tries to make a machine that can make things grow. As in the first one, his machine isn't quite accurate. But when he brings Nick & his toddler son Adam to see his invention, the machine unexpectedly starts working. And when Adam comes right up to the machine, he gets zapped along with his stuffed bunny.

Diagonaldi Very well executed
ReaderKenka Let's be realistic.
Curapedi I cannot think of one single thing that I would change about this film. The acting is incomparable, the directing deft, and the writing poignantly brilliant.
HottWwjdIam There is just so much movie here. For some it may be too much. But in the same secretly sarcastic way most telemarketers say the phrase, the title of this one is particularly apt.
atinder It's not great as the first movie in the series, Which I love the bits and I can't get enough of this. This sequel is the for kids, I think it was meant to sequel to Honey, I shrunk kids TV show too. I love cartoon scene at the start of the movie was funny and I really enjoyed the plot of the movie e Szalinskis' new two-year-old son, whose accidental exposure to Wayne's new industrial-sized growth machine causes him to gradually grow to enormous size.Also Nick's falls love with Adam babysitter and ends up caught up with giant baby madness.There were some really funny jokes thought out the movie, which made my whole family laugh in this movie and there were some silly jokes and silly scenes some times,which were really for kids. There were some really good decent effect in this movie, that really well done, I don't even look that today at all. The acting was great and I love as sad it was when the Big baby was cryingReally good sequel 7 out of 10
Leofwine_draca HONEY, I BLEW UP THE KID is the 1992 sequel to HONEY, I SHRUNK THE KIDS. Its premise is much the same as many 1950s era B-movies, involving a character growing to gigantic proportions before wreaking havoc in a US city.The thing that wowed me with this production was the calibre of the special effects. The back projected scenes of the toddler stomping through the streets are integrated superbly with the actors and backdrops, as are the scenes when the toddler is a 'mere' seven foot tall. Back projection can sometimes look really obvious and cheesy, but never so here.Sadly, the film's storyline is a lot weaker. There's some initial set-up involving nutty scientists and the like, but once the kid starts growing it all falls by the wayside. Rick Moranis and Marcia Strassman, both returning from the original, have little to do other than chase around after their kid and act concerned, and there's a lot less of the camaraderie and high spirits from the first movie. The villain is poor, the script poorer, and it's all very forgettable come the inevitable climax.
abrown975 I think that this movie should go up there with Home Alone II and Shrek II as one of the worthy sequels to any great movie. "Honey I Shrunk the Kids" was one of the most creative movies I have ever seen. Who would think of a shrinking machine that accidentally shrinks the children and gives the audience a much better view of a regular backyard? And the special effects and set was top notch. I can't believe that it wasn't nominated for an Oscar for those two categories. But if you liked that movie, you need to see "Honey I Blew Up the Kid." Wayne Szalinsky is at it again, but this time, he's created a machine that makes things grow and he accidentally made his toddler son, Adam, grow until he's the size of a skyscraper! The cast is the same, but now Lloyd Bridges, John Shea, and Keri Russell have been added into the mix. The acting was good, the special effects were even better than the first movie, and there's laughs and plot twists around every corner! To the people who don't think that this movie was good, sometimes you just have to pretend your a kid again in order to get the whole gist of the movie. And I don't say that with every kid's movie (especially not ones with mediocre CGI animation and potty jokes/language, like the crap we have nowadays), but this one is free of all of those nasty movie plagues, making this movie a rare treasure and one of the best sequels I have ever seen! I never get tired of watching it, and I hope that once you see it, you won't either! This movie deserves an applauding 9/10, and the only thing keeping it from being a perfect score are the few corny jokes placed in the movie, but aside from that, don't wait! Go rent it right this second!
clck2001 This one is pretty good. Those who say that he runs around in a stupid King Kong or Godzilla like fashion are wrong. Does he eat anybody? No. Does he kill anybody? No. He is just a normal baby that has had an accident that most babies never have. He does break things, but that does not mean that he is a terror to society, or should be killed, or tranquilized. Moranis is excellent as his usual "eccentric" role in all three of these movies. Too bad the Szalinski's moved, because I liked the Thompsons from the original. I bet they either had to move because of Nick and Ron always at each others throats, or because Amy and Little Russ could never be parted. But it seems like Amy has forgotten all about Little Russ Thompson by now, because she just goes off to college with no regrets or worries. Bridges was good as Wayne's boss-totally different than his much earlier role as Harvey, the deputy, in the priceless classic, High Noon.
