A whimsical and imaginative blend of science fiction, comedy, action, and a surprising amount of romance. Martin Short shines as the unlikely hero thrust into a series of adventures once he discovers a test pilot (Dennis Quaid) was shrunk to miniature size and is inside his body. The villlains are a lot of fun even if they're not necessarily threatening. Meg Ryan is an interesting heroine and love interest to not one but two lead characters. The effects have aged well for the most part. Joe Dante keeps things fun and zany.

Obnoxious and boring 80's movie. Same thing as "Honey I Shrunk the Kids" but inside of a living person. I thought it was terribly boring.

Comic fantasy that depends whether the leads, Dennis Quiad and Martin Short, appeal to you or not. The humour is all obvious slapstick and sight gags, but Quaid is quite charismatic and Short's nervous hypochondria schtick is occasionally amusing. It does get increasingly ridiculous and annoying as it goes on though.

This movie is great. It's funny, action-packed, and even the plot is pretty good. One of my favorite movies from when I was a kid.

I thought this film was fun. Although it's very goofy, Short and Quaid are good together and make it worth seeing.

While I am not one to watch network television much these days if for some reason I am channel surfing and I find this movie playing I always stop and watch. This is one of those classic films that can't really be described as just an action adventure, it is also a comedy (with Martin Short in one of the lead roles it has to be comedy) and a romance film. Basically this is film that anyone can watch and enjoy. For its time it had some good effects and the story was an original concept. Over all this was a fun family film.

A truly original and entertaining 80s gem. It has comedy, action, even a little romance. The only real beef I have with it is that at 120 minutes, it's a bit on the long side and it begins to lose steam at the end. Still, very fun.

Very original film with a lot of charisma from iconic actors, and a lot of fun with a smart story. I always expected a sequel... pity didn't come. Maybe some day.
