The fully grown adult version of me couldn't help but notice just how under-appreciated and undervalued the mom characters are treated throughout the film... It also made the family matriarchs seem small.
The whole mom storyline (or lack thereof) really hits different now that I'm a mom myself... This cinematic classic didn't just shrink some kids; it also made the family matriarchs seem small.
He's so laser-focused on his inventions that he accidentally shrinks his children and their friends, which honestly seems like something he could have prevented if he weren't so, well, selfish.
The mom, Diane Szalinski, played by the late Marcia Strassman, is the glue that holds the family and the entire movie together. She’s the responsible parent, the nurturing soul, the calming presence. She puts up with Wayne's antics, his forgetfulness, and his tunnel vision because that’s what moms do...
