Honey, I Blew Up the Kid

Another sleeping pill that doubles as a family picture for those without discriminating tastes. The terrible title is only the start of a whole list of problems in this smelly sequel to "Honey, I Shrunk the Kids". Mad scientist Rick Moranis accidentally turns his toddler son (the unbelievably hard to look at Daniel & Joshua Shalikar) into a giant that keeps growing and growing thanks to electronic pulses from appliances. It is as hopeless as it sounds. Anyway the youth starts to grow and grow as the audience's interest shrinks and shrinks and soon he is on his way to the Las Vegas strip. Basically a remake of "Attack of the 50 Foot Woman" and other wastes from the 1950s that were little more than interesting special effect yarns. Nothing unsuitable for wide audiences except for the fact that the picture is a critical dud. Lloyd Bridges is wasted as Moranis' silly boss. Watch for a young Keri Russell in a prevalent part. 2 stars out of 5.
