Excellent Family movie. It's refreshing to find a funny movie that all ages can enjoy without having to worry about language or vulgarity.

This 1992 comedy romp was touted with the tag line of "Boldly going where no parents have gone before", need I say more. Written by Chris Matheson (ala Bill & Teds Adventures) and Ed Solomon (ala Charlie's Angels and Men in Black), Emperor Spengo (played by John Lovitz) while peering though his amazing telescope, sees the beautiful vision of Marge Nelson (played by Teri Garr). Spengo is smitten with the thought that he must have her, and uses a giant magnet, kidnaps her and her husband Dick (played by Jeffery Jones) hoping to make Marge his before blowing up the Earth.

The Emperor with the other inhabitants of his planet are somewhat less than bright (and that is a serious understatement). The also not so bright Dick begins reliving episodes of Flash Gordon and Buck Rogers in order to rescue Marge, save the Earth, and restore the rightful emperor to the throne.

Don't take this movie too seriously, because it certainly doesn't and that is exactly the way it should be. "Mom and Dad Save the World" is a Saturday afternoon popcorn film with friends and the kids. Based on the serial Buck Rogers days and filled with moronic gags that actually play very well, this film is a small gem with great heart and guaranteed smiles.

I've been a fan of Jon Lovett since his Saturday Night Live days. So if you like his comedy stylings you're going to love Mom and Dad Save the World. Lovett plays Todd Spengo, the bumbling yet smarmy ruler of the tiny planet Spengo. Lord Todd suffers from planet envy so he's hell bent on destroying the much larger Earth. But while scoping out his target he spots Marge, an everyday housewife, played by Teri Garr and it's lust at first site. So before he blows up Earth, Todd scoops up Marge and her husband ''Earth Dick,'' played by Jeffrey Jones, and the melodrama begins! Will Marge leave Dick and marry Todd? Or will Dick be too busy leading a revolution on Spengo? And what about Earth? Buy this DVD for the exciting conclusion.

This is one movie that we can watch with my daughter without having to worry about the occasional curse that comes along. It's a bit cheesy but the movie appeals very much to my 4 year old daughter. Every time it is on, she comes running to watch it.

I recommend this movie as a very good if not excellent family movie.
