Summary: One of my all time favorite movies!!!
Review: "Innerspace" is a classic comedy that offered ground breaking special effects and nice performances from Dennis Quade and Martin Short.

The DVD is a dissapointment because there are no extras at all. It would have been nice to see a making of featurette that could have taken a look at the inside of the human body.

Great movie, but I would go with the VHS version.

Summary: An original and entertaining sci-fi movie
Review: "Innerspace" is one of the most original movies ever. A training pilot named Tuck (Dennis Quaid) is supposed to do an experiment in which he shrinks and will then be injected inside a rabbit. But he ends up being injected inside a supermarket clerk (Martin Short). Tuck has to find a way to communicate with Jack (Martin Short) if he ever wants to find a way out. Things get a little hectic when he finds out that he will run out of air supply if he doesn't get out shortly.

"Innerspace" is one of the best overall movies from the late 80's. It's a good sci-fi adventure, it's funny, and it has great special effects. Without a doubt, it's one of the most entertaining movies ever made. I recommend everybody to get "Innerspace."

Summary: Inside Innerspace.
Review: Besides particular types of fashion, music, and television, the 1980s also contained its own unique movies. In a typical 80's movie (whether it be comedy, action, or drama) there is the roguish, dashing young man who is the film's hero. The hero is down on his luck, is in trouble with his girl, and is forced (usually out of necessity) into the most dangerous mission of his life. The hero has become an anti-hero and he hates it. He sees no way out but to do what he does best. However, something bad happens and the hero finds himself in a jam where he can't save himself. Ironically, he has to rely on a bumbling fool to come to his rescue. In doing so, the fool rises above himself, becoming a hero in the process. The plot is as old as time and Shakespeare used it over and over. Nevertheless, it wasn't until the 1980s that American moviemakers really delved into this age-old concept.

In this regards, INNERSPACE is a typical 80's movie. You have the fallen hero (Dennis Quaid), his estranged love (Meg Ryan), and the fool that saves them both (Martin Short). There is also the usual dash of bad 80's clothing and techno rhythms. However, INNERSPACE is not a typical 80's movie. Much of the plot is taken from the sci-fi classic, THE FANTASTIC VOYAGE. However, INNERSPACE takes the idea from that movie to a whole new level. Not only that, but INNERSPACE is an action-comedy, with a little bit a romance tied it. There are a ton of movies that try to pull a combination like that off, but very few are as succesful at it as INNERSPACE.

Summary: Fast paced, and hilarious
Review: Dennis Quaid is injected to hypochondriac Martin Short and hilarious results follow. Short is extremely funny as the comic hero who must escape bad guys with the help of Quaid who is inside him. It is a great comic adventure everyone will like.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Martin Short is great among others.
Review: Dennis Quaid, America's aging sweetheart Meg Ryan and Martin Short come together in this great flick. I'm not a Short fan, but he does exceptional in this funny and original flick. The guy who steals the show is the thug known as "the cowboy." I would rent this again. Meg Ryan, well, we could do without her, but Dennis Quaid is always great.

Summary: A Great Sci-Fi/Comedy From The Creators of Gremlins!
Review: Hey, movie viewers! If you liked Gremlins, you MUST see this great 1987 film! It is about a ex-Lieutenant of the U.S. Marines, Tuck Pendleton (Dennis Quaid, Any Given Sunday), who is the subject of a minaturization experiment, which requires 2 microchips. He gets inside a submersible pod, is minaturized down to a microscopic size, placed in a syringe, and is supposed to be injected into a bunny named BUGS!! However, a bunch of criminals, disguised as phone repairmen, break into the laboratory and steal one of the chips. But, a good friend of Tuck's who works at the lab, Ozzie, takes the syringe, runs off, is chased to a mall, and shot. Fortunately, he lives long enough to run into a nerdy hypochondriac named Jack (Martin Short, Primetime Glick), and injects Tuck into him. Later on, Tuck finds out he is in a man, then establishes contact with Jack by placing an amplifier in his ear, and attaches a camera to his eye to see what Jack sees, and tells him what is going on and that he only has 'til 9:00 a.m. tomorrow to get out of him before his air supply runs out. Tuck tells him to go find his girlfriend (Meg Ryan, Hanging Up), and get help from her to recover the chip and save Tuck. This film is a GREAT sci-fi/comedy, and is from the creators of Gremlins (producer Steven Spielberg and director Joe Dante). It is also based on the 1966 film Fantastic Voyage. Like Gremlins, it is also a VERY good family classic. So, if you liked Gremlins, then you HAVE to see this movie! It's REAL KOOL!

Summary: Start & end are confusing, but rest is good
Review: 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?

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Martin Short was Hilarious!
Review: I found Innerspace quiet fascinating and interesting to watch, with all the cool and unique special effects that blew my mind away! This film also stars Dennis Quaid and Meg Ryan. And my favorite actor--Martin Short! His performance was great. This film tells a story of a scitentist whose dreams get all twisted around, all because of one man's screwed up brain. He's clumsy and just plain not human, if ya know what I mean! Ever thing he does goes wrong, which makes it funny. When Dennis Quaid's character makes an attempt to create a syndrom to make his dream of going inside a rabbit's blood stream, it accidently gets turned around when an intruder steals the shot and injects it into Martin Short's character. The thing that I liked about Innerspace, is that we could actually see what was going in through Short's body. Amazing special effects, if you ask me. I liked this flick a lot, and without Martin Short, this film wouldn't be as half as hilarious as it was! Innerspace rocks!
