    This 1987 film is a wonderful combination of sci-fi, comedy, romance and thriller elements. It is briskly paced despite being almost two hours in length, and features superb performances from the leads; Dennis Quaid is excellent as usual, as is Meg Ryan in her best role. Yet the ...( read more)plaudits must go to Martin Short in a truly great performance he has never matched. He just needs the right role. The supporting cast are great as well; the delightful villainy of Vernon Wells who is unrecognisable as usual! Also Robert Picardo camping it up superbly as The Cowboy, one of his most memorable creations, plus the great pairing of Fiona Lewis and Kevin McCarthy, who memorably says to his dog before feeding it: 'Never beg, never beg!' The cinematography and special effects/makeup are all great as well, and Jerry Goldsmith's score is brilliant, perfectly complementing the tone of the film, alternately exciting/sprightly/romantic. Joe Dante binds it all together with magnificent verve, plus Dick Miller makes his trademark appearance! A great, timeless classic. Highly recommended.

    An old favourite. A sequel would have been interesting!

    Good plot and cast. In an experiment that goes wrong a miniaturised Tuck (Dennis) is injected into Jack (Martin) instead of a rabbit.

    Back in the day this was a top film, excellent effects and great funny moments, but time has past and its dated quite a bit really. Cant blame it for that but its just alittle lame now hehe

    The cast is one of those classic 80's line up's you just dont get anymore, Short being re...( read more)ally good in some hammy moments of madness :)
    Ryan is cute and Quaid is probably at his best and Wells is awesome as the silent killer. The effects now arent too bad but like I said its aged badly with lots of obvious bluescreen.
    Still a good flick but I saw it so much as a kid I dont think I need see it ever again haha

    A remake of Fantastic Voyage but not quite as engaging as it. The special effects are really good.
