This fun early '90s sci-fi comedy adventure puts a couple of parents in the lead roles.

Full Review | Original Score: 4/5 | Jul 28, 2022

...a briskly-paced yet mostly uninvolving comedy that's been, by and large, geared exclusively towards very small children...

Full Review | Original Score: 2/4 | Jan 2, 2022

Apparently aimed at children with undiscriminating or easily browbeaten parents, Mom and Dad resembles an especially irritating children's theater extravaganza or television skit.

Full Review | Jun 4, 2018

Mom and Dad Save the World, which was directed by Greg Beeman and has the straggly feel of an extended Saturday Night Live skit, boasts unusually inspired production design.

Full Review | Original Score: 2/4 | Jul 25, 2014

Mom and Dad Save the World is an insult to the idea of children's entertainment.

Full Review | Original Score: 1/4 | Jul 25, 2014

Here's a novel idea: A kids' movie with parents as heroes. That twist is the most -- some might say only -- refreshing element in Mom and Dad Save the World.

Full Review | Original Score: 1/4 | Jul 25, 2014

Yet another overwrought but uninspired fantasy in which all the wit is in the amusingly stylized sets and costumes rather than the script.

Full Review | Jul 25, 2014

The zany, campy, creature-filled fantasy Mom and Dad Save the World makes for unexpected family fun at the movies.

Full Review | Jul 25, 2014

Director Greg Beeman can't disguise the lamentable script which, despite the best efforts of a likeable and willing cast, falls flat.

Full Review | Original Score: 1/5 | Jul 25, 2014

It's not too much more interesting than a blank screen.

Full Review | Jul 25, 2014

Mom and Dad Save the World is too calculating and self-serving by far, striving with a manic intensity for its own cult status. Lost on the filmmakers, unfortunately, is the fact that cult movies always possess a dark, disturbing subtext.

Full Review | Original Score: 1.5/4 | Jul 25, 2014

Director Greg Beeman fashions a toothless feature, though one with an undeniable pace and, well, Kathy Ireland in tiny outfits.

Full Review | Original Score: C- | Jul 26, 2012

Little kids will find some infantile laughs in Mom and Dad Save the World, but adults will be looking at their watches during this silly sci-fi comedy.

Rarely clever misfire comedy with Garr and Jones.

One of those comedies that might sound like a zany hoot when pitched to a movie studio but that in execution emerges virtually laugh-free.
