Distractingly loose but clever, this 1987 comedy by Joe Dante (Gremlins, Matinee) stars Martin Short as a hypochondriac and Dennis Quaid as a miniaturized test pilot who is accidentally injected into him. Taking a page or two (or a hundred) from the classic science fiction movie Fantastic Voyage, Innerspace details the adventures of traveling through the human body's complicated systems, though in this case, it proves an unusual way for two characters to forge a bond. Dante's endless imagination goes into overdrive here, but the film is more gimmick than anything else and ultimately feels a bit hollow. Fans of Short or Quaid might like it more than most, though Dante's hardcore fans will also appreciate seeing his stock players Dick Miller and Kevin McCarthy. --Tom Keogh

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.

I thought this was a harmless little comedy version of "Fantastic Voyage", quite cute. Pilot Dennis Quaid gets shrunk down to be injected into a rabbit, but goofy Martin Short gets in the way of the hypo. So Quaid has to navigate his way around Short and make up with his girlfriend Meg Ryan at the same time, through Short. But there are nasty evildoers trying to stand in the way of all this getting accomplished, most notably Kevin McCarthy of "Body Snatchers" fame from the 1950s. He and his female accomplice also get squirted with some of the miniaturizing stuff, but merely become little midgets battling it out in a car. That was a great silly moment.
Listen to that little voice, and laugh a lot at "Innerspace".

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... Read more

Really 3.5 stars. Funny, entertaining but a little ridiculous.
Hard to miss with the super star cast. Good family entertainment.

An absolute waste of film
This movie is the most revolting, disgusting, useless film I have ever seen. The plot, which should be a fun, sci-fi plot, is tedious and implausible. Read more

This movie is not good because it has no story, at least that would have been understandable if it was funny and believe me this movie was not funny. Read more
