A Creative Comedy Film

I enjoy this far-fetched science-fiction film. This film looks like it had made last minute and the writer is obviously very creative in the last minute. But the story has the love, war and win-win at the end. The car flying in to the space is very unique with a smallest planet out of our solar system where is other aliens living. It's fun to watch and kill time when you travel. May 22, 2007

my world is saved

A good movie, but one you have to be ready for when you watch it. A must see for those who like stupid silly, like "The Man Who Knew Too Little" May 13, 2007

VERY DISAPPOINTING.

MOVIE WASN'T VERY GOOD. DON'T WATCH WITH CHILDREN. INAPPROPRIATE LANGUAGE AND 1 0R 2 SCENES HAVE SOME SEXUAL CONTENT. NOT WORTH THE MONEY. I USUALLY LOVE TERI GARR AND JON LOVITZ, VERY DISAPPOINTING. May 12, 2007

a classic!

Well no, it's not a classic by any means. This is one of those "it's so bad it's good" kind of movies. I'm not a fan of Jon Lovitz at ALL. I think those new Subway commercials are some of the WORST commercials ever to air on television. But this movie starring Jon Lovitz as the "king of the world" is okay.

When you think about a title like "Mom and Dad Save the World" your first thought is probably something extremely cheesy. Well, in this case, the images of cheese and constant silliness is EXACTLY correct. That's exactly what the storyline is.

Mom and dad are kidnapped by people on another planet, and at first, all they want to do is find a way to get out of there and return home to Earth. However, new "people" come into their lives, so more obstacles get in their way making it harder to return home. It's an extremely silly movie that's probably not very funny, but I think you will really like it because of SOME reason.

My favorite thing are the mushrooms that live in the sewer of the castle. I also love the friendly fish-face women. Yes, that sentence makes me look like I'm on drugs, but I'm not. You might think you're on drugs after this movie is over... and I recommend watching it. November 5, 2006

No, I am Raff, you are Earth Dick.

I love this movie. I remember first watching it at my cousin's house, and it seemed faded in my memory because I was laughing so hard. This movie is one of those films where you just need to shut everything else out.

A couple get beamed up to planet Spengo, where Emperor Tod (Lovitz, in an earlier and more hilarious role) wishes to wed Marge (Garr) and wishes to have Dick (Jones), her husband, killed.

The movie has so many funny moments, and even has comedic support by Eric Idle. I recommend this film to anyone who wants a really deserving laugh. March 18, 2006
