Mom and Dad Save the World

Mom and Dad Save the World (1992) is a sci-fi comedy you can watch online on iFILM, directed by Greg Beeman. Emperor Spengo — played by John Lovitz with a maniacal intensity that steals every scene — spots suburban Californian Marge Nelson (Teri Garr) through his telescope and immediately redirects his planet's giant magnet to pull her to him.

Marge's husband Dick (Jeffrey Jones) arrives uninvited, escapes captivity, and discovers the local population is every bit as dim as it first appears. He leans into that. Wallace Shawn, Eric Idle and Kathy Ireland fill out the cast. The film has exactly one trick and commits to it for 88 minutes. Easy-going, warmly dumb Saturday-afternoon fare.
