Why so much hype?

For all the hype it got I was expecting a lot more!

Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.

Blistering performances.

I can't believe this was made in 1992 ... I just can't !The effects, set designs, acting, and everything else points to a late 70's early 80's movie. I had given this movie a lot of slack because I thought it was an older movie, but this is ridiculous.From the start, you can tell this movie is ultra low budget. Horrible green screens, over use of paper meche, and painted styrofoam.The movie did jump around a bit at first, making it feel like a few scenes were cut, but after a while it smoothed out.As far as story line, this is a wacky kids kind of movie. Turn your brain off, and enjoy.I kind of liked it, though the horrible special effects took a lot of fun out of it.

This is a great, fun movie if you enjoy Monty Python and other movies that blatantly defy logic. The statue delivery, the grenade and several other scenes would be at home in a Monty Python episode.The cast is well chosen. The costumes are ridiculous. When you think that a scene cannot get more stupid, you will be wrong.The language is clean. The adult humor will mostly be missed by kids. This can be a fun movie if you are looking for a relaxed, unstructured fun time.If you need a serious plot, real science in your science fiction, or highly structured entertainment, look elsewhere.

An evil outer space dictator (Jon Lovitz) literally transports a station wagon with a married couple (Teri Garr and Jeffrey Jones) inside to his planet. The purpose? Lovitz wants to destroy Earth and make Garr his wife, making her the queen of the universe. Of course we know that it is up to Jones and a whole host of other oddballs (led by captured king Eric Idle) to stop Lovitz before it is too late. Did I also mention that Lovitz rules a world where human-like bulldogs and fish dwell? Totally unwanted and unnecessary mess that scrapes the bottom of the barrel in all respects. Lovitz' typical "Saturday Night Live"-styled routine tries to punch life into this thing, but we all know that is not successful. Special effects, ugly art direction and dementedly poor performances only lessen the production's horrible screenplay and painfully sophomoric direction. Only watch if you are forced to by people stronger and obviously dumber than you. Turkey (0 stars out of 5).

Star Wars, Gone With The Wind, and The God Father all fell by the wayside when Mom and Dad Save the World entered the world of entertainment. There is nothing that ever has been or that ever will be as good as this immensely powerful work of film-art. You'll laugh, you'll cry, you'll never want to watch any other movie after seeing such an amazing film.
