- 70The New York TimesStephen HoldenThe New York TimesStephen HoldenIf the new film doesn't exude quite as much fairy-tale magic as the original, it is still a thoroughly entertaining family romp.

- 50Washington PostDesson ThomsonWashington PostDesson ThomsonThis is fun and there are few kids who won't have a good time of it. But it's no Honey, I Shrunk . . . The first movie was more interesting and inventive, with the tiny kids facing the jungle terrors of a giant lawn and the aerial attack of a zeppelin-sized bee.

- 40TV Guide MagazineTV Guide MagazineDespite the impressive special effects, Honey, I Blew Up The Kid offers few surprises. The visual gag of a giant-sized infant is the only real joke the film has and it wears thin in a hurry. The plot is perfunctory and simple, presumably to cater to the attention span of a pint-sized audience.
