Honey, I Blew Up the Kid
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.
Critics Sentiment
Adam grows to seven feet tall at home
Wayne and authorities fail to control giant Adam
The film drops 2.5 points from the seven foot Adam sequence to the Las Vegas rampage as reviewers felt the central gag completely wore out its welcome
Critics found the sequel started promisingly with impressive early special effects and genuine comedy from the oversized toddler, but felt it quickly ran out of ideas. The film's sentiment deteriorates significantly once Adam reaches Las Vegas, with most reviewers finding the final act tiresome and contrived, though they appreciated Rick Moranis's committed performance throughout.
