A Very Cute Movie!
Innerspace is a very cute movie that stars Dennis Quaid, Meg Ryan and Martin Short and they are all good! Dennis Quaid plays a man who is part of a miniaturization experiment but when he is miniaturized he is accidently injected into the body of a neurotic, hypochondriac grocery store clerk played by Martin Short and when he is pursued by spies he inlists the help of Dennis Quaid's character's girlfriend played by Meg Ryan. Innerspace is just a very cute movie that is entertaining and funny and I have to recommend it!

Great Fun!
Innerspace is an often silly but always entertaining film about a test pilot (Dennis Quaid) who is supposed to be shrunk and put inside a rabbit. Instead things go terribly wrong and he winds up injected into a hypochondriac (Martin Short). There's villians of course who are after Short because Quaid has something they want and they know he's inside Short "that doesn't sound right, lol".

I never had any idea Joe Dante (Gremlins) direected this film, now that I know that it's easily my favorite of his films "yes even over Gremlins". It's just a fun movie with a nicely written script. Don't get me wrong I know it has it's problems. Mean it's absord that you're suppose to believe that Quaid can change Short's appearence and make him look like anyone. Meanwhile if he was only suppose to be put inside a rabbit why would that ship he's inside need the option to change appearences. Well this film just shouldn't be taken seriously, it's more enjoyable if you turn if your brain before watching it.

It's the Short and Quaid team that makes this film so watchable. When you think about it they aren't even acting together so that makes their work in this even more impressive as you believe they're actually talking to each other. Well anyway Quaid makes the Short character who's wimpy and afraid of everything tougher and gives him the backbone he needs. Innerspace is a fun Science Fiction comedy but also works as a buddy movie and it's actually one of the best ones you'll find. Now all we need is another film by Joe Dante, well as long as it's not Small Soldiers 2.

Start & end are confusing, but rest is good
I find this movie confusing just as soon as it got going. I don't think I followed the whole miniaturising process properly, as I got completely lost, as soon as the guy getting chased - I didn't realise Dennis Quaid was actually miniaturised and INSIDE that syringe.

When Dennis Quaid (Tuck) was injected into Martin Short's (Jack) body, the whole sections of film dedicated to this reminded me totally of Osmosis Jones (if you haven't seen it, it will give you a hysterical look at the human body).

Before the miniaturising, Tuck comes across as arrogant, and not caring about his girlfriend (played by a very 80s Meg Ryan). But this all changes, and his influence on Jack, also changes him, from an OTT hypochondriac to someone different. One of the funniest scenes is when they both get drunk in Tuck's apartment.

There are also some heartbreaking scenes, particularly when Tuck ends up in Lydia's (Meg Ryan) body, and sees something that effectively makes him changes his life as soon (or if) he gets re-enlarged.

Most of the middle part of the movie is terrific viewing, and although some parts seem to be overly long, it's great. The ending confused me yet again - but you'll have to watch it for yourself to see what I mean won't you?
