Innerspace, which is such a cool play on words, was excellent.

In typical Silicon Valley style a Bay Area tech company developed miniaturization. Truly, it is early nanotechnology in which they shrink normal sized machinery to nanometer size in order to inject into a live host. The uses are innumerous, including being used as a weapon.

Tuck Pendleton (Dennis Quaid) was the test pilot for this new technology. He was supposed to be injected into a rabbit in a lab. What really ended up happening was that he was injected into a total stranger in a mall-- Jack Putter (Martin Short). There was one hilarious moment after the other as Jack thought he was going crazy all the while he had to elude some nefarious characters that wanted the technology that was inside of him.

It was a brilliant movie that blended sci-fi with comedy; two genres I love when done right.
