Joey and Cindy Heller's parents have been shrunken to the size of ants by a powerful extraterrestrial life form, and with time quickly running out for the rest of the planet, it's up to the two quick-thinking kids to get mom and dad back up to size and send the alien menace back to the stars. The aliens may have technology that dwarfs that of anything created by humankind, but even their biggest army of virtual-reality beasts is no match for the imagination of a child. Now, as the fight for planet Earth comes to the suburbs, these cosmic creeps are about to learn an important lesson in interstellar humility.

Review:
I found the acting to be excellent. The wimpy alien who just wanted to go back to his own planet was well played. The children were delightful. The little girl with the squeaky voice was cute, and the older boy was brave and smart but unpretentious at the same time.
The mother had a lot of spunk, while the father was mild mannered but capable of rising to the occasion to defend his family when it was necessary for him to do so. The science teacher was a stereotypical genius with a good heart.
I found the very fake looking special effects to be entertaining. Many of them reminded me of the TV show "Lost in Space." I am going to try to find out if any of these actors went on to bigger things.
