Mom and Dad Save the World

...but you have to be in the right mindset. If comedies like Dumb and Dumber, Kingpin, or yes, even Leonard part 6 are your style of comedy, this movie is for you! This comedy is dumb, but intentionally so. As a test, do you think an Emperor named "Todd" is funny? If so, see this movie! If not, maybe you should move on to a smarter comedy.

While this is a mediocre sci-fi adventure at best, with no attempt to rationalize the science of the movie, and about as much time with the special effects, the movie retains a charm all of it's own. The costumes look as if they were removed straight out of a Dr Suess book, and the sound effects help with that feel.

With Jon Lovitz as the diabolical, yet moronic, Emperor Spango, Teri Garr as the 'Voluptuous' Marge, and Jeffery Jones as the Brave and Wise 'Earth-Dick,' Mom and Dad Save the World will keep anyone with a sense of humor entertained for the 88 minutes of runtime.

Also--special guest appearances by: Dogs playing poker; The Wilhelm Scream; An escape from Blaster-related death by jumping down a garbage disposal chute on the wall; Woodland Hills, CA; and The Planet Saturn.

oh, and Eric Idle

If somehow you could take "Star Wars", and "Idiocracy", and put them in a blender, you would pour out ":Mom and Dad Save the World". Imaginative sets, creative creatures, and Tod Spengo, John Lovitz, are all there on Planet Spengo. Park your brain, and take a trip to the tiniest planet in the universe, ruled by idiots. If "The Rocky Horror Picture Show" could be in outer space, it would be the closest experience to "Mom and Dad Save the World". The outlandish costumes, musical numbers, and general mayhem immerse you in a realm of idiotic fantasy. Some great character actors, including Wallace Shawn contribute to the fun. Oh, and one more thing, never, never, never, never, pick up a light grenade. LOL . - MERK

Okay this is a great movie, now let's get a move on, somebody give Jeffrey Jones another starring vehicle, he is the greatest actor of our time. Even sharing the screen with other greats like Teri Garr, Jon Lovitz, Don & Dan Stanton, Wallace Shawn, Eric Idle, and Thalmus Rasulala, didn't keep Jeff Jones from shining the brightest!

I loved this movie! From the beginning to the end it is an absolute masterpiece! The title alone makes you wonder 'Mom and Dad Save the World'. If you take this movie seriously, please do yourself a favor and have your head examined. This is a great movie when you need a quick laugh. 5/5.
