Honey, I Shrunk the Kids / Reviews
The Washington Post
Though it relies on special effects, this cutie-pie caper never loses sight of the protagonists amid the bigger-than-life Cheerios and 40-foot blades of grass.

Roger Ebert

The comic timing of the first 15 minutes of the film has the lugubrious, gallumphing hysteria of a mating dance by six jealous blind elephants, without its compensating grace and charm.

Empire Magazine
The Fly for kids: inventive, funny, and pacey enough for that rare breed, the family audience.
