Product Description

Mom and Dad Save the World (DVD)

John Lovitz, Jeffrey Jones, Teri Garr, Eric Idle and Kathy Ireland star in the uproarious sci-fi comedy that sets the world spinning: MOM AND DAD SAVE THE WORLD. Jon Lovitz is alien emperor Tod, ruler of Spengo, the tiniest planet on the universe. Tod has only one aim: destroy planet earth and lead Spengo to glory. There are only two problems that stand in his way: Tod is an idiot, and so is everyone on his planet. As Tod aims his death ray at Earth, he spots Marge Nelson, an average American housewife, and falls hopelessly in love. Delaying his plan of destruction, Tod beams Marge up to Spengo and in the process accidentally beams up her husband Dick. On the planet, they discover a world of fantastic creatures, many of whom would like to see Tod removed from the throne. While Tod plans his wedding to Marge, Dick escapes from Tod's henchmen and leads a battalion of dim-witted but brave natives in revolt. Can Dick rescue Marge and save Planet Earth? The planet holds its breath, but you'll laugh out loud when MOM AND DAD SAVE THE WORLD.

Decided to do a date night and I remembered this hidden gem from childhood. Still makes me laugh and hubby liked it too.
If you don't mind humor that makes you roll your eyes at stupidity then this is the movie to watch.

5.0 out of 5 stars Deserves better
Reviewed in the United States on August 24, 2005

This was supposed to be John Lovitz's breakout film and why it wasn't is anybody's guess. What you have here is a hilarious screwball comedy adaptation of Flash Gordon where suburban Mom and Dad are kidnapped and hauled to the alien planet...in their station wagon (a primitive form of SUV). Teri Garr and Jeff Jones as the "folks" give their usual great performances (really, neither has ever done anything less than a first rate job in any movie) and Lovitz is sensational as Emperor Todd. Plenty of good additional cast members and highly imaginative costumes and sets add to the entertainment.

The level of comedy is great. A favorite moment in this film (and a favorite film moment altogether) is when the family station wagon--zipping through space pulled by a magnetic beam--passes the planet Saturn and "mom" takes a Kodak photo of it using the flash. That's a joke that's subtler than it looks and this sort of slapstick/thoughtful (and plenty of satire) runs through the whole movie. It's dopey but it's smart dopey.

They've resurrected the brilliant, stunning, wondrous, amazing "Freaked!" from this era (Oh, don't we long for those good old days--late Eighties to late Nineties!) and the DVD of that should go right to the top of any comedy lover's want list. It's time to get this fun film back in circulation because we sure as heck need good laughs these days!

4.0 out of 5 stars Very nice

This was supposed to be an acceptable copy, but it looks immaculate to me.
The DVD, itself is very sparce on features, given only the movie and subtitles, but the master from which they worked is immaculate, and the effects hold up today, even if this is basically a silly science fantasy. The cartoonish fantasy of a middle-aged, suburban American couple going away for the weekend & being stolen away by the despotic ruler of a planet of dumdums is the perfect basis for a fun adventure.
The cast is so full of amazing talent, and the special effects look superb. A lot of the jokes hold up well to this day. Just try to ignore Jeffrey Jones' legacy, like we do with Beetlejuice, and enjoy the show.

And their ineptness reminded me a lot of our current government administration as of 2/28/2023.
but aside from that it was an excellent movie if you are looking for a good fun movie to watch, and no cuss words, no nudity. just plain fun..

5.0 out of 5 stars You can't go wrong with comedy!
Reviewed in the United States on August 25, 2013

This movie is supposed to be corny and horribly unreal but that is what makes it so funny! A tiny undiscovered planet called "Spengo" that lies just outside of our solar system holds a planet of apparent idiots! These apparent idiots somehow developed a super death ray with all of their wisdom and intellect and the ruling leader, Tod, plans to destroy Earth with it! However using a super powerful scope he zooms in on Marge, a married woman and falls head over heels in love because Earthlings and Spengols are physically identical, well, some of them are! In any case he arranges to have her brought to Spengo using a super powerful magnetic tractor beam created with all of Spengo's technological prowess, ha ha ha! Unfortunately Dick, her husband, was also with her when they were successfully beamed from Earth..but my question is, how are they still alive in their "woody" station wagon with the windows rolled down and traveling through space?! The tractor beam probably doubles up as a protective barrier from the vacuum of space...I hope so! In any case this movie is worth watching and has a warm and sweet undertone to it. It brings me back to my childhood days of goofy 1990's family films.

5.0 out of 5 stars Campy fun
Reviewed in the United States on May 2, 2020

I remember watching this when I was younger and absolutely loving it! It was so cheesy and campy with an incredibly dumb story line, but you can't help but watch the cheese unfold. I will say, the costumes, as crazy and unrealistic as they were, were pretty great. I can't give this less than 5 stars for nostalgic cult classic reasons. Watching it as an adult, I just shake my head and wonder "What were they thinking?". This is a classic 90's style film that makes absolutely no sense. It's very much like the style of the live action Super Mario Bros. film...take that for what it is. If you're planning on buying this for the stellar performances, compelling story line, and breathtaking special effects, skip it. If you're a fan of camp and nostalgia, go for it.

I love this movie. It's so cheesy that it's good. I used to watch this as a kid, so I thought I'd give it a shot for some nostalgia. I really wasn't expecting it to have aged that well, but I was actually surprised. Some cheeses ripen quite well with age! It's just a fun whimsical weekend-movie for those young at heart. Great costumes, props and some laugh out loud moments. Another reviewer put it best with: "Turn off your brain and just enjoy!"

I loved this movie the first time I saw it. I know it's not deep or intellectual but it is fun and that's why I like it. As usual, Amazon came through with a great selection of movies! When I saw it was available I grabbed it up right away. I've already watched the movie once so far and it is in great shape with no skipping or stopping. The packaging was in good shape and the DVD doesn't appear to have any visible scratches. Thanks Amazon!
