Au secours ! J'ai rétréci ma prof

Found this movie at the Dollar tree for a buck. It was the English overdubbed version. Brought it home and watched it with my two boys ages six and nine. It was entertaining. Although you could tell that the voice track often did not fit the lips of the actors.

At times also the voices didn't seem to match or seem to be the wrong age for the actor portrayed, but if you allow yourself to suspend reality it was an enjoyable film.

It reminded me of a low budget German cross between Harry Potter and the old Rick Moranis Honey I Shrunk the Kids Movies.

A few groups of kids that seem to be fighting have a new kid move in while weird stuff happens at their "haunted school" with a Harsh Head Mistress.

There were some serious plot holes. But if you take the movie for what it was it was an entertaining evening.

But parents beware, the one thing that surprised me was how much language was in this movie for what should have been a kids film. Especially since it was overdubbed anyway and they easily could have changed the translation of several words to make the movie more kid friendly.

I wasn't expecting much. But I loved it!!!! So funny. Heartwarming :) I would see it again!!!! I know this is not a Disney channel movie, but if you love that kind of movies, this is a must!!!!

This movie isn't believable. We can't see honesty in the process of the scenario. Even the type of acting does not give us the feeling that the film is being honest. Apart from the script, this film has other problems as well. For example, none of the scenes from the film are completely principled. In scenes where the teacher is in the hands of the main character, we fully realize that the scene is artificial. The framing of the scenes in this film is also rarely correct and principled. Many times we see a lot of bugs in the make-up, scenes and story in the movie, and this annoys the audience while watching the movie.

Especially when you are or get very small. What magic is in place here and why do teachers shrink like that? Well the message is clear enough, but I won't spoil it for you, so you'll have the fun watching it ... But back to this and back to school. It's a formula that you've probably and very likely have seen before.

So predictability is very high in this one. For a kids movie it's pretty nicely put together, even if you do consider all the clichés it does go through. The acting is OK, though nothing does stand out in particular. It's played for laughs and it doesn't really have to try too hard to achieve that, because of that well known formula. Nothing to get too excited about, but this has been done in far worse fashion too ...

Watchable, but I don't want to watch it again, and I can't recommend it.

From the land of bad German dubs, this is a premise that should have been more interesting. The story is a little whacky at parts, but solid.

Ultimately, I don't think they had the budget to make this as well as they could have.
