This is an unfairly overlooked Joe (Gremlins) Dante GEM of a Movie. It has a warm, funny, nostalgic feel and a great central performance from John Goodman. The "MANT!" (unfortunate man turns into a giant ant!) movie within a movie is hilarious in itself, and this deserved to be a far bigger hit on release than it was. I picked it up cheap on R2, and my boys loved it.
i love this movie and it needs a re release so bad i it's been years since i've seen it though.joe dante is dope


It's such a great movie...totally worthy of another release. Heck, I love Harry and the Hendersons but if that gets a release (and a SE release even!) Matinee should surely get one too!
