SnoReptilePlenty Memorable, crazy movie

Senteur As somebody who had not heard any of this before, it became a curious phenomenon to sit and watch a film and slowly have the realities begin to click into place.

Bea Swanson This film is so real. It treats its characters with so much care and sensitivity.

Kien Navarro Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.

Lee Eisenberg "Amazon Women on the Moon", directed by a group of directors and starring (literally) a bunch of actors, knows exactly what kind of movie it is: unabashedly silly. It's an 85-minute celebration of all things slapstick, unafraid to do anything that it wants. And very funny, I might add. Unlike "The Kentucky Fried Movie", this one has a central theme: a 1950s sci-fi flick with the same title as the main movie. But more than anything the entire movie is an excuse for the bunch of actors to show off their goofy side (some doing so in a deadpan style). It's everything that makes life worth living, and I have no doubt that the people involved had a lot of fun in production. You're sure to love it!So just remember to guard against becoming impure.

capone666 Amazon Women on the Moon The worst part of watching commercials on TV is they're always interrupted by an annoying movie.However, it's not only commercials disrupting the feature film in this comedy, it's everything.Chanel 8 is showing a late-night 1950s sci-fi film called Amazon Women on the Moon, which stars Sybil Danning as the Queen of the Moon and Steve Forrest as a wayward astronaut.However, the film is constantly cut short by an array of movie and television promos, public service announcements and infomercials starring Michelle Pfeiffer, David Alan Grier, Rosanna Arquette, Steve Guttenberg and Ed Begley, Jr.Meanwhile, the lunar love story culminates in a daring escape.With sketches directed by established filmmakers (Joe Dante, John Landis) that range from the sublime to the silly, this anthology is a hilarious ode to night owl entertainment.Thankfully, movies today aren't interrupted by commercials; products are just strategically placed in every scene.Yellow Light vidiotreviews.blogspot.com

TBJCSKCNRRQTreviews This movie is a compilation of short skits... mostly representing what one might find on American late-night television(at least a few decades ago). Having not grown up neither in the right decade nor country, there may be a few jokes that I didn't get. The sketches vary in length, and some are more social commentary and satire than spoofs on commercials and 50's sci-fi/horror. Some of the comedy is pretty dark, but all of it is silly. There is some slapstick, but the majority of it seems to be parodying of commercials, shows and movies. From what I can tell, they hit the mark on most of the stuff pretty good. The R-rating seems like it could have been very, very easily avoided, so I would guess that the directors went for that because there wasn't really anything stopping them. For the benefit of both those seeking it and those trying to avoid it; there is some nudity in this(not an awful lot, but it seemed to last for a long time when it was there), and some swearing(little of it, but it's relatively strong when it's there). The humor varies... most of the material works, though there's the occasional dud. Some gags go on for too long, and there was at least one joke that I saw coming about a minute before it was made. The "guest stars" were pretty good, those of them I knew. One needs only to check the cast list to see that they got some good names on this production. Hartman, I'm sorry to say, is severely underused. The pacing was fair, for a 80 minute long series of comedy sketches. Technically well-produced(except for when it's not supposed to be). All in all, fine parody. I recommend it to fans of the type of movies spoofed(space/sci-fi horror of the 50's) and fans of spoofs. 7/10

funkyfry I first saw this movie fairly soon after it was released. I didn't enjoy very much of it other than the segment at the beginning with Arsenio Hall. In the meantime I've become quite a big fan of "B movies" and a lot of the people in this film are now near and dear to my heart. I think I have a better understanding of what they were trying to do in this film now, but I don't think on the whole it was very successful. The film remains fun for fans of B movies but not nearly as funny as I think it tried to be.It's certainly watchable, as it is fast-moving and features many memorable faces from not only B movie lore but popular culture at large. For example in the same segment you can see legendary exploitation director Russ Meyer ("Faster Pussycat, Kill Kill!") and stand-up star Andrew "Dice" Clay. The film's epilogue features Carrie Fisher of "Star Wars" fame and director/character actor Paul Bartel ("Eating Raoul") in a funny spoof on educational style exploitation films. Monster movie fandom icon Forrest Ackerman appears as the President in the extended sci-fi sequences, Phil Hartman does a sports announcer voice, Arsenio Hall is a man terrorized by his own apartment, Lana Clarkson (now famous for very undesireable reasons in connection to Phil Spector) is an amazon woman, B.B. King urges tolerance and sympathy towards "Blacks without Soul", Henry Silva appears as himself to spoof Jack Palance's television gig in "Bullsh** or not", and so on and so forth. You could have a pretty good time watching this movie just trying to spot random celebs who came from the B movie world and others who became big stars later (Michelle Pfeiffer for example).But the bits and pieces don't add up to a good film, and the film fatally fails to walk the tight line required for a "B" type movie, even an expensive one with big stars, between its camp and its serious side. The sci-fi segments in particular fall pretty flat and I have to imagine would fail to amuse anyone but geeks like myself who recognize some of the "inside" jokes. Surely the outer space scenario being depicted is ridiculous, but it actually looks and feels quite a bit like an older sci-fi film (specifically the late 50s "Queen of Outer Space") without having much of its charm or the sense of innocence about it. With something like the Zuckers' "Airplane" you can see how cheezy the disaster movies they were spoofing were but at the same time the film itself was more outrageously campy and silly than any real disaster film. But with this film, it feels like the film-makers felt the source material was goofy enough that the laughs should follow from simply a reproduction of some of the genre's original camp elements -- they failed to take it to another level where it would become funny in its own right.A lot of the other segments fail to take off as well, or overstay their welcome. The bit in the hospital, the bit about "Two IDs".... a lot of these parts just take a long time and end up having no punch line. The majority of the sketches are basically funny premises beaten into the ground and done in a self-serious style that wastes the opportunities for humor. I just do not feel this movie's conviction -- it seems like they were afraid to be too zany but they were also trying really hard to seem "irreverent" while in fact the film rarely strays into controversial territory.
