In general I enjoy director Joe Dante' work, but something about this one just leaves me cold. Perhaps it's that plot-wise this is a sitcom version of Fantastic Voyage. A ne'er-do-well Air Force pilot (Dennis Quaid) takes the helm of an Explorers-looking pod that's miniaturized for experimental injection into a rabbit. But thanks to some meddling industrial spies, he ends up injected into a neurotic grocery clerk (Martin Short). Some of the effects work is kinda cool, but it can't overcome the production's overall silliness. Mildly amusing
Media criticism. Pop culture snark. And movie reviews. Lots and lots of movie reviews.
