The only sequel better than the original. Rick Moranis stars as an eccentric inventor. He accidentally zaps Adam, his two-year-old, with a machine designed to enlarge things. Adam grows to over 100 feet tall. We are reminded of The Attack of the 50 Foot Woman, although Adam is a little kid and means no harm. He is cute in his red overalls. He terrorizes Las Vegas. He reminded me of my own kid, especially when he went for the Hard Rock Cafe guitar. The terrible twos take on a new meaning. Keri Russell is the baby sitter whom Adam's brother ties up. She grew up and went on to star in the delightful Waitress.

November 1, 2007"Blew Up the Kid" delivers what you'd expect from a sci-fi family movie sequel. The jokes are fewer and farther between. The plot is more forced. The acting is even more overdone.
However, even for all the shortcomings, this is a fun movie to watch with the kids. Rick Moranis is reliably goofy and the special effects with a giant baby are not bad. Really the only complaint I had was that Lloyd Bridges should've been given more screen time. All in all, it's a good way to spend 90 minutes with the family.
September 4, 2007I guess you would consider this the sequel to Honey, I Shrunk the Kids. I always did, at least.
I'm surprised more people haven't written a review for this great movie. If I remember correctly, I went to see Honey, I Blew Up the Kid when it first hit theaters. I enjoyed it then, and when I watched the movie again last year, I found out that I STILL enjoy it.
I agree that the movie should have had more characters involved instead of sticking to the main family (for the most part) but that's not really a big problem. The fact that the kid blows up and walks around doing some creative and amazing things positively makes this a great family movie, in my eyes. When the kid finally leaves the house so all the people can see him, this is when the plot really kicks in. Every bit as good as Honey, I Shrunk the Kids.
