Amazon Women on the Moon (ISBN 0783209967)

Too Little Too Late:
This is one of the worst movies I've ever seen. I can appreciate satire and comedy skits but this collection of skits surrounding snippets of a campy space movie just doesn't work. Individually some of the skits are good or at least mildly amusing; like "Two IDs" starring Rosanna Arquette and Steve Guttenberg about a fact checking machine that does a history analysis of a man's dating history to let user's know if he's a good candidate. Or Ed Begley Jr. as the "Son of the Invisible Man" who doesn't realize he's not invisible and runs around naked. The best part of the movie was looking out for the familiar faces, some who were popular in the 80s and some who are more popular now. They include the likes of Arsenio Hall, Phil Hartman, Michelle Pfeiffer, Peter Horton, Griffon Dunne, Joe Pantoliano, Joey Travolta, Steve Allen, B.B. King, David Alan Grier, Kelly Preston, Marc McClure, Carrie Fisher and more. If you're into campy this is it.

Never gets old:
A classic cult comedy film ... the film is done as a series of connected shorts with a lot of subtle connections between the pieces. It has an all-star collection of comedic talent (similiar to "It's a Wild, Wild World). There are some very cute bits from the roast at the funeral to the suggestion that the Loch Ness monster was actually Jack the Ripper! One caution, this is not necessarily a kiddie movie -- they won't get some of the jokes, and some of the film is inappropriate for the younger gang.

NONSENSE WAS NEVER SO FUN!:
Balderdash doesn't get much better than this! Imagine 84 minutes of good Saturday Night Live episodes strung together and you have some idea of what's in store for you in Amazon Women.. These small segments are strung together by a Late Night "B" movie (Amazon Women On The Moon) that keeps getting interuputed by advertisements (which are themselves skits) due to 'technical difficulties'. It doesn't take long to get interested in this picture if you have a mind for parody and humor along the lines of say, "Airplane" in it's better moments. The skits and segments change fairly quickly, though some are like running jokes recurring throughout. It's good cheap fun, but fun it is! Like when the kid goes into the drugstore to buy condoms and the old grandfatherly clerk (also a friend of the family of course) says, "I'll bet I know what you want" Kid: "You do?" "Sure, I was young once.. Licorice sticks! They came in fresh this morning", he says, pulling one out from a jar. "Mr Gower, I'm 17 years old!" "Already? Seems like only yesterday your mom was in here buying talc to powder your little bottom!" What follows after that could only be any teenagers nightmare.. But for us it's great fun.. This movie is recommended if you need a good laugh (or twenty) and can appreciate the ridiculous! And yes, as this film has more than it's fair share of 't & a', it might be time to put the kiddies to bed... hopefully your laughing won't wake 'em up.

Hilarious:
was so glad to see it on dvd. This movie allways gets laughs out of my wife and I. A must see.

Fun times:
a fit of nostalgia meant this movie ended up on my doorstep. it's a very entertaining trip through early '80's cable TV and features some really funny cameos.
