This used to be the big movie back in the late 80's. Advertisements and cartoons used to reference it a lot. This is the pre-Adam Sandler era comedy.

I cant stand Rick Moranis in this movie. Probably couldn't stand to see him in any others either. But it is still a great premise and a fun watch for the kids.

This is the first in a series that spawned numerous sub-par sequels. The first film feels the most fresh and features Rick Moranis's manic energy and some frightening (frightening as in - don't eat that, there are little people inside!) special effects that work very well.
