    Storyline

    Edit

    Did you know

    Edit
    • Trivia
      Much of the the dialogue between Wayne and Adam, such as the bedtime story and feeding time, was improvised by Rick Moranis in response to whatever Daniel Shalikar and Joshua Shalikar, the twins who played Adam, happened to say.
    • Goofs
      The final scene--and the punchline--of the first film features the shrinking machine in reverse, and the family feasts on enlarged food. In fact, reversing the effects of the machine is how the kids went from tiny to normal size. In the second film, Wayne is working for a company that is testing a completely different machine that will enlarge things, and the shrink machine is in storage. It is never explained why simply reversing his shrink machine wasn't the answer.
    • Quotes

      Diane: There's one thing every little kid knows. Daddies mean fun; mommies mean business.

    • Crazy credits
      Adam's laugh can be heard after end credits
    • Alternate versions
      Many scenes were omitted for its theatrical release version, but added to its TV version:
      • More scenes of Nick and Mandy running through neighborhood looking for Adam
      • Mean magician neighbor pulling colored handkerchiefs out of her coat
      • After Adam pulls ad sign out from ground and drops it, he steps on it
      • After Nick gives Mandy a giant raisin, he tells her to relax because they're headed for Vegas
      • After Adam catches the car with Nick and Mandy in it, he talks to them before stuffing them in his pocket
      • Diane giving Wayne reasons why she should be enlarged to save Adam
      • More scenes of Adam talking to the crowd below when he arrives in Vegas
      • More scenes of the TV reporter explaining situation with Adam when he first arrives at desert highway and when he's playing "Hard Rock Cafe" guitar.

    Not as good as HISTK

    Aside from the cute twins who played Adam this movie is relatively dull. I have the book, that has pictures from the movie, and it is practically the same.

    The same actors from the first movie, minus the Thomsons, come back and they have a new addition to the family. Adam is a two-year old mischief maker who can get out of almost everything. The Szalinskis have moved to Las Vegas, and have a bigger house. Still, the place is often a mess.

    Wayne has a new invention, a machine that enlarges matter, instead of shrinking it. But when an experiment goes awry, Adam is enlarged. The problem gets worse when he keeps growing due to a electromagnetic fuse. (or something like that) One of Wayne's fellow employees, Charles Hendrickson, is a typical villain. He wants to take credit for everything Wayne does, and almost gets away with it. Fortunately, h'es fired by his boss, Clifford Sterling. But that doesn't stop Charles. He later tries to take Adam away from his family to undergo tests, but Adam is eventually shrunk back down to two feet.

    What could have been a better movie was a major disappointment.

    My Score: 5/10.
