Summary: 5 Stars
Balderdash doesn't get much better than this! Imagine 84 minutes of good Saturday Night Live episodes strung together and you have some idea of what's in store for you in Amazon Women.. These small segments are strung together by a Late Night "B" movie (Amazon Women On The Moon) that keeps getting interuputed by advertisements (which are themselves skits) due to 'technical difficulties'. It doesn't take long to get interested in this picture if you have a mind for parody and humor along the lines of say, "Airplane" in it's better moments. The skits and segments change fairly quickly, though some are like running jokes recurring throughout. It's good cheap fun, but fun it is! Like when the kid goes into the drugstore to buy condoms and the old grandfatherly clerk (also a friend of the family of course) says, "I'll bet I know what you want"
Kid: "You do?"
"Sure, I was young once.. Licorice sticks! They came in fresh this morning", he says, pulling one out from a jar.
"Mr Gower, I'm 17 years old!"
"Already? Seems like only yesterday your mom was in here buying talc to powder your little bottom!"
What follows after that could only be any teenagers nightmare.. But for us it's great fun..
This movie is recommended if you need a good laugh (or twenty) and can appreciate the ridiculous! And yes, as this film has more than it's fair share of 't&a', it might be time to put the kiddies to bed... hopefully your laughing won't wake 'em up.
Movie Review: Too Little Too Late
Summary: 1 Stars
This is one of the worst movies I've ever seen. I can appreciate satire and comedy skits but this collection of skits surrounding snippets of a campy space movie just doesn't work. Individually some of the skits are good or at least mildly amusing; like "Two IDs" starring Rosanna Arquette and Steve Guttenberg about a fact checking machine that does a history analysis of a man's dating history to let user's know if he's a good candidate. Or Ed Begley Jr. as the "Son of the Invisible Man" who doesn't realize he's not invisible and runs around naked.
The best part of the movie was looking out for the familiar faces, some who were popular in the 80s and some who are more popular now. They include the likes of Arsenio Hall, Phil Hartman, Michelle Pfeiffer, Peter Horton, Griffon Dunne, Joe Pantoliano, Joey Travolta, Steve Allen, B.B. King, David Alan Grier, Kelly Preston, Marc McClure, Carrie Fisher and more. If you're into campy this is it.
Summary of Amazon Women on the Moon
Contrary to popular rumor, this 1987 collection of comedy skits is not about a group of female employees from Amazon.com on a mission to the lunar surface. It's a series of unrelated spoofs and sketches designed to resemble an aimless night of TV channel-surfing, and the satirical targets include grade-Z science fiction films of the 1950s, sex films of the 1930s, hospital soap operas, and Playboy video centerfolds. There's a charity drive in which legendary bluesman B.B. King pleas for donations to help "Blacks Without Soul," and Ed Begley Jr. thinks he's the son of the Invisible Man, which would be fine if he weren't as visible as everyone else. The various sketches feature an all-star cast including Rosanna Arquette, Griffin Dunne, Carrie Fisher, Michelle Pfeiffer, the late Phil Hartman in an early role, and many others. It's strictly hit-or-miss, and many of the sketches fall flat, especially since the subjects being spoofed (the title sketch is a send-up of the actual 1954 movie Cat Women on the Moon) are funny enough without being satirized. Even though Leonard Maltin's Movie & Video Guide describes most of the sketches as "astonishingly unfunny," this can be a very amusing movie if you're in the mood for a no-brainer with a lot of familiar Hollywood faces. Now a modest little cult film, it's the kind of disposable entertainment that maintains its appeal almost in spite of itself. --Jeff ShannonShowbiz Video
