REVIEW
Some nice special effects can't help this mildy amusing sci-fi adventure/spoof. Garr and Jones (playing a beleagured husband similar to his role in Beetlejuice) are celebrating 20 years of marriage with a weekend getaway when the evil Lovitz, petty dictator of a far-away planet, kidnaps them with the intent to marry Garr. As it turns out, his planet is inhabited by imbeciles (the screenwriters must hail from there, too), so Mom and Dad's job is markedly easier than it might have been. You Might Also Like
