    If you like Buck Rogers or Flash Gordon and dumb dumb humor (akin to that found in The Stupids) then this should be right up your alley. A quarreling couple is zapped up by a spaceman with their station-wagon. The spaceman wants the wife for himself and banishes the husband to th...( read more)e dungeon. Because the guards are all about as smart as those in Idiocracy he easily escapes to save his wife.

    ...This was just plain strange. Enjoyable for families in a campy kind of way, and a good shot of cheesy 90s nostalgia, but overall it's pretty bad...though there are some clever-ish jokes sprinkled around. Aside from some bad writing and painful possible-improv from Jon Lovitz, ...( read more)it's actually pretty funny. Sometimes so-bad-it's-funny, sometimes actually-funny...this movie is bound....to....confuse the hell out of you. I dunno. I wouldn't go out of my way to see this weirdness, but it's harmless.

    Jon Lovitz really steals the show with this one. I just love where he is singing and dancing and Teri Garr attacks him ahdn he starts yelling for help from his soldiers. DwierBrown was hilarious as the king's son as well. This movie had some decent effects and had a bit of a s...( read more)urreall look to it. Another good family movie that is very entertaining.
