MICRO MINI KIDS is another worthless children's adventure film put out by Full Moon Entertainment. Unlike others I've watched (including the execrable TEEN KNIGHT) this one doesn't seem to have been filmed in Romania, but in many ways it's even worse than the Full Moon kid's pictures being put out in the late 1990s. The script is dumber and the comedy more awful. At least this seems to be have one of the last kid's films the studio made before going back to straight B-movie horror.
When terrible director David DeCoteau quits your project four days into filming, you know the film is going to be bad and MICRO MINI KIDS is just that. It's a noisy, annoying adventure about an irritating brat who finds himself shrunk down to miniature size and must contend with various perils like giant ants. Basically, it's one big rip-off of HONEY I SHRUNK THE KIDS mixed with THE INCREDIBLE SHRINKING MAN and especially INNERSPACE, which is where the idea for the miniature craft seems to have come from. The basic computer effects are really horrible here as is the overacting, particularly from Debra Mayer as the fake British villain. It's dreadful stuff, without a single redeeming quality.
