Today’s movie is a fantasy comedy that happens on March 31. Watch it tonight and enjoy.  

HONEY, WE SHRUNK OURSELVES   

On March 31, 1996 Adam  Szalinski wants to go to baseball camp. His father Wayne Szalinski, president of Szalinski labs, gives a terrible presentation to investors at his lab, while his brother Gordon struggles as head of the inventing section. Wayne’s wife Diane and Gordon’s wife Patti are going to a Neil Diamond concert, leaving their husbands to look after Adam and his cousins, Jenny and Mitch. After they leave, Wayne shrinks the tiki-man statute his wife told him to get rid of, but accidentally ends up shrinking himself and Gordon also. When their wives return unexpectedly, they get shrunk also. Due to a partial message left on the answering machine, the kids think their dads have gone to watch the Space Shuttle land at Edwards Air Force base. Jenny plans to have the party her mother and aunt forbade her to have. The adults have a series of adventures getting down to the ground floor where the kids are. Along they way they learn of Adam’s interest in sports. The party is harmless for a while, until a group of boys show up uninvited. After Jenny rejects one of them for stealing a kiss, they start trashing the house. However, by then Gordon and Wayne have rewired the stereo to broadcast and this scares the boys away. After briefly considering leaving their parents miniaturized the kids help return them to normal and Wayne blows up the tiki man to the size of the Washington Monument.   He and Gordon trade jobs at the lab.
