Plot

The Szalinski family, from the previous two movies, has returned. In this film, Wayne Szalinski has become the president of Szalinski Labs. He works with his brother Gordon and has been banned by the FDA (and his wife Diane) from using his invention, the shrink ray, for the rest of his life. Not only has Wayne become unhappy with his new corporate life, he is also experiencing problems connecting with his youngest son, Adam, who, unlike Nick, has not inherited his father's interest in science, and is more interested in sports. The United States Food and Drug Administration is the government agency responsible for regulating food, dietary supplements, drugs, cosmetics, medical devices, biologics and blood products in the United States. ...


Meanwhile, Gordon's wife Patty and Diane are planning a vacation. The day they plan to leave, Wayne and Gordon are invitied to a Space Shuttle landing and excitedly leave a message on the machine telling the listener that they've "changed plans and are taking off." Diane reminds him that he's babysitting Adam, Jenny, and Mitch while she and Patty are away. Patty and Diane say goodbye to the family. Patty won't allow Jenny to have some friends over, to her dismay.


As Wayne is leaving for work, Diane asks him to get rid of the "Tiki Man" a large tiki sculpture. Wayne does not want to part with it and decides to restart the shrink ray and reduces the Tiki Man to pocket-size. However, while looking for the tiny tiki man, the machine is accidentally activated and Wayne ends up shrinking himself and Gordon! A Māori man retouches the painted tattoo on a carved wooden tiki at Whakarewarewa Model Village, New Zealand, 1905. ...


Patty and Diane have barely traveled down the road when Patty suddenly realizes she forgot Mitch's medicine for his potassium deficiency and she insists that Diane turn around! Once back in the house, they decide to sneak into the attic and surpise the men, which nearly results in Diane accidentally killing Gordon and Wayne by stepping on them! However, the shrink ray is activated once again, and as they turn around to leave, the ladies are shrunk as well! After arguing for a moment, the team decides to try and get downstairs to get their children's attention. Meanwhile, the kids have come home from the store and assume that both groups of parents have gone on their vacations and that they are alone for the weekend. Over rootbeer floats they pledge to not let their parents know they plan to break the rules. Jenny immediately begins planning a party, and Adam and Mitch create a chili volcano and use people-shaped hot dogs for a snack.

The parents climb down the laundry chute to Adam's room, but accidentally see Mitch and Adam looking at a magazine. Wayne assumes it's a dirty magazine, but is shocked to find it is a Sports Illustrated, further expanding on Adam's interest in sports! They then decide that they can amplify their voices by rigging the stereo downstairs to get the kids' attention. Diane proposed they get downstairs by riding Adam's Hot Wheels car down the track. The ride doesn't go smoothly, and they fall in a laundry basket, which in turn, is carried right back upstairs by Adam and Mitch. When Mitch says he hasn't taken his medicine, Patty worries he will not be able to find it! Porn redirects here. ...

Wayne then begins talking about being small, and he finds a piece of roach feces, followed closely by a huge cockroach. Everyone runs into a roach motel and lures the huge bug into the motel to kill it. They then decide to split up so the men can rig the stereo and the women could find Mitch's pills. They travel to the downstairs rooms via bubble machine (which Jenny's friend brings over to start the party). The woman land safely, but the men's bubble is popped by a sharp wrought-iron chandelier and they fall in a bowl of onion dip! A moment later, the girls arrive with chips and proceed to eat. The men came very close to being eaten alive by one of the party girls, Corky (Ashleigh Sterling) but, thanks to a sloppy eater, Jill (Mila Kunis), they fall out of the bowl!

In the kitchen, Patty and Diane are stuck without a way to get up the counter, when they see a large harvestman (daddy long legs) caught in a spider web. Diane, who is arachnophobic, talks to the harvestman as Patty frees it from the web. They then hitch a ride up the counter with the long legs and proceed to look for the pills. At the party, Jenny made a phone call that resulted in a few boys, including her crush Ricky King, crashing the party. Ricky gets her alone in the kitchen and steals an unwanted kiss which Patty and Diane witness! Jenny smartly backs away and tells off Ricky, making the women beam! Then, Mitch stumbles into the kitchen, getting very sick from not taking his pills. He sees Patty on the counter and faints! Adam and Jenny come to his aid, and Diane and Patty struggle to get the pills in view of the kids. However, Adam, having a scientifically gifted father, remembers that bananas are a good source of potassium, which Jenny feeds to Mitch, who is revived! Patty and Diane are relieved, and Mitch recovers! The Phalangids or Opiliones (better known as harvestmen or daddy longlegs) are eight-legged invertebrate animals belonging to the order Opiliones in the class Arachnida, in the subphylum Chelicerata of the phylum Arthropoda. ... Though many arachnids are harmless, a person with arachnophobia may still panic or feel uneasy around one. ...


Back in the living room, the boys have made the party go out of control, and things are getting broken! Gordon has climbed up the speaker of the stereo, ready to speak, while Wayne inside is rigging the system. Gordon pretends to be God, freaking everyone out of the house! Jenny, Mitch, and Adam at first think there is a rigged camera in the house, but they see Gordon by the stereo and ask the kids to help them work the shrink machine.


Up in the attic, the kids have second thoughts about reviving the adults at the cost of total freedom. In the end, they decide to unshrink their parents again, and it turns into a happy reunion. Patty tells Jenny that she trusts her better after what she saw in the kitchen. Wayne tells Adam about the magazine and decides to let Adam like what he wants and allows him to go to baseball camp. Then he makes Gordon the president of Szalinski Labs so he can invent, and Diane lets Wayne keep the Tiki Man that caused the entire chain of events.


At the end of the movie, Adam is being taken home from baseball camp. As the family car pulls into the driveway, we see the Tiki Man blown up to an enormous size from the back of the house.
