As if shrinking his and the neighbors' children in
Honey, I Shrunk the Kids (1989), and zapping his son, Adam, in
Honey, I Blew Up the Kid (1992) weren't enough, the well-meaning inventor, Wayne Szalinski, gets neck-deep into trouble, when his shrinking machine gets into action. This time, it shrinks not only Wayne and his brother, Gordon, but his wife, Diane, and sister-in-law, Patti, too. Meanwhile, the kids think they have the house to themselves, however, their minuscule parents hear and see everything, even though they have a hard time navigating in the vast and perilous household environment while doing battle with gargantuan insects. Will Wayne never learn?
