Read More This movie is filled with very amusing satire. The over-dramatic exaggeration of male and female family roles complements an almost gaudy evil-villain-from-outer-space theme, making this movie one of the very funniest ever made. Of course, sometimes the humor is a little painful. But if you have any sense of humor at all, you will undoubtedly chuckle over this one. Close this Review WAS THIS REVIEW HELPFUL? Yes | No | ||

Why not suitable for children? Granted, most Eric Idle (Monty Python) is on the adult side of humor and this film is no exception, but it is certainly not as threateningy frightening as Time Bandits! I've watched this film several times and have always enjoyed its ludicrous nature. Lovitz is great as the idiot ruler of a planet full of idiots. The humor is right up Jeffrey Jones' alley and he was perfect as the wimpish Dad and for once, Teri Garr didn't irritate me as Mom. Picture quality/transfer was surpisingly good and I loved the James Horner soundtrack. I won't give this more than 3-1/2 stars, but if you like obvious idiocy, you'll probably enjoy this one.

Read More If you like classic idiot movies, then this is the best. Who better to play a moron ruler of the smallest little stupid planet with stupid people, than John Lovitz. The best idot actor ever. I was suprised that this movie has made it to dvd cause I didnt think that as many people like it as much I do and it was made in 92 so obviously people do like it enough for them to rerelease it on dvd. This movie has john lovitz acting like a moron that is so conceded and forcing his will on terrie garr. This is a great movie for kids also. This movie is somewhat similar to Coneheads in that it is a little stupid and deal with aliens??? It is not just plain dumb like Cabin boy? it is funny stupid humor watch the clip and you will see. It is not the best parts of the movie but you will get the idea.

Jon Lovitz is at the top of his silly game in this. He can make the most inane lines hysterically funny. Wonderful ensemble of characters. I also got a kick out of the imaginative costumes and sets. It all looked very low tech, but there was so much imagination, you had to appreciate the effort. I've always loved Teri Garr too. Lisa Kudrow reminds me a lot of Garr. Also Jeffrey Jones can do no wrong. This guy goes back to "Ferris Bueller's Day Off" and several other classics. He always makes his characters real. I'm going to watch this again! Loved it!
