An enjoyable enough sci-fi comedy in which Dennis Quaid plays a scientist who's miniaturized and launched into the body of Martin Short. Think of it as a goofy, screwball version of "Fantastic Voyage".
In comedy style, it's actually somewhat reminiscent of the Steve Martin/Lily Tomlin vehicle "All of Me", in that Quaid is able to influence Short's physical movements. As you can imagine, this results in all manner of physical comedy antics, but if you're going to go that route, you could do worse than placing the proceedings in the hands of Martin Short, a gifted physical actor.
The special effects were quite nifty for the time, and won the film an Oscar.
Grade: B
