Review Summary and Plot Commentary about Honey, I Blew Up the Kid
Wayne Szalinski the oddball inventor is back in this sequel to Honey, I Shrunk the Kids.

This time, Wayne develops a ray for a company that will enlarge objects instead of shrinking them. But there are problems with the ray, and he inadvertently ends up hitting his toddler son Adam with the laser when he tries to experiment using Adam's favorite stuffed toy rabbit.

Now every time Adam comes into contact with electricity, he grows, until finally he is over 150 feet and headed for Las Vegas! With the bright lights and neon signs of the city, it can only get worse, and the authorities are called in to stop the giant, rampaging baby who thinks that Las Vegas is a toy town for him to play with.

Meanwhile, Wayne and his older son Nick and Nick's girlfriend must figure out a way to stop the baby and shrink him back to normal size before the authorities take matters into their own hands and end up hurting him.

Rick Moranis invented a size-altering machine, and he shrunk his own children in Honey, I Shrunk the Kids. In this even funnier sequel, he does the opposite, making his baby son larger. The same funny effects from the first movie resurface here, and you'll laugh nonstop just by seeing the oversized infant. This movie is funny from beginning to end, and Moranis' character is just about the wackiest scientist that ever lived!
