The film is about a series of comedic events. Events begin with Lieutenant Lt. Toc Pendleton, an American pilot, taking part in an experiment in which a submarine-like vehicle is minimized and injected into rabbits. The bad guys try to steal him, and the machine, while he is miniature, eventually ends up inside Jack Buter, a stylist. In a series of ridiculous positions that occur to him during his time inside Jack.

Though the film plays like a mix of exhilarating adventure and smart comedy, it's deepened by the notion that little Quaid is floating around inside Short's body sinking hooks into things, ripping open veins, triggering stomach acid, and the like.

It's an easy-to-get-along-with movie -- bouncy, rabbity fun.

It has been made in a style best described as enthusiastic.

Formulaic fun, helped by two winning leads.

While the sci-fi is pretty hard to fault for what it is, and the adventure is aces for a high-concept 1980s family movie, the comedy is awfully wan and reedy.

'80s sci-fi adventure comedy has some drinking, swearing.

Short has infinitely more possibilities and makes the most of them, coming into his own as a screen personality as a mild-mannered little guy who rises to an extraordinary situation.

For all the Amblin technology on display, Dante's greatest effects are humanistic

While the anatomical special effects are imaginative enough, the manic rather than magical tone fails to achieve the sense of awe that made Fantastic Voyage -- clearly this film's inspiration -- so fascinating.

Innerspace is significant for one thing -- the establishment of Martin Short as the funniest new kid on the Hollywood block. Too bad that's not enough for the sensation-a-second makers of Innerspace.

The plot is standard fantasy-adventure pulp, though director Joe Dante has so many screwball things going on in it that the comedy all but overwhelms the formulaic line of action.

Innerspace is a movie that sucks you in from the get-go, then keeps you hooked with the way it effortlessly moves from sci-fi to comedy to action, then back again.
