VeteranLight I don't have all the words right now but this film is a work of art.

Kinley This movie feels like it was made purely to piss off people who want good shows

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.

freakfire-1 In a crazy skit movie, you can't really try to find a common thread. Finding the same actor in two skits, yes. But the same story? Nope. Not unless your television explodes and your garbage disposal eats your tie.The segments were pretty good. I enjoyed the "Amazon Women on the Moon" which was constantly interrupted by "commercials" (skits) and pointed to an great amount of amusement. The Video Pirates, while outdated, were funny. And so was the film critics judging that man's life.Some of the comedians in the film weren't as funny as I would hope. But the overall experience was good. So have at it. If you like 70s and 80s nonsensical humor, you will enjoy it. "B+"

Sebastian1966 Don't get me wrong; I really like this movie...most of the time. It amazes me how in only 20 years the "modern" scenes highlighting the "wonders" of the VCR age are almost carbon-dated; the VIDEO RENT-A-DATE scene, or the Computer-Background-Dating-Check bit (which you can pretty much DO nowadays!) have fossilized! The old Jewish guy sucked into his "high-tech" TV (circa 1987) is a little dumb; and the baby Mr. Potato Head joke is not very good. There, got all that out of the way! Now, despite these shortcomings, there are enough truly hysterical scenes to make this film worth the rental/purchase. The titular sketch (spoofing '50s sci-fi space films) is spot-on perfect!. Another good one is the IN SEARCH OF parody (called "B.S. OR NOT?") w. Henry Silva. It names the Loch Ness monster as Jack the Ripper (using "as yet undiscovered evidence"). It is pretty funny (especially the salacious gaze the monster gives the prostitute as she walks away). One of my favorite sketches (which I always chapter skip to if I'm in a hurry) is the VIDEO PIRATES sketch, with William Marshall (Blacula himself) as the leader of a band of old-world pirates boarding a ship full of videotapes and discs. The pirates mocking the FBI warning at the beginning of the tapes ("Oooh, I'm soooo scared!") is classic! And the SON OF THE INVISIBLE MAN sketch with Ed Begley Jr. (in a full-throttle performance) as an all-too visible invisible man ("Ever see a shirt make a phone call?") is hysterical. It has a bit of a YOUNG FRANKENSTEIN vibe about it (as both capture the look of those '30s Universal monster films EXACTLY). Carrie Fisher's sex-ed, VD film parody is also wickedly funny (and only a slight exaggeration of films like REEFER MADNESS). The BLACKS WITHOUT SOUL/DON SIMMONS sketches (w. B.B. King, and a perfectly cast David Alan Grier) are like the glory days of Saturday Night Live in their subversive humor ("Chim-chimeny, chim-chimeny..."). Yes, this film is the very definition of uneven; but the highlights ARE worth the trouble. The film works even better if you're old enough to REMEMBER cheesy, late-night, local TV station programming. And if you DO remember the parody origins as fondly as I do, then the film's highlights will really hit their mark; making the other, "filler" segments a perfect time to use the old chapter skip button (or go to the kitchen for a snack). Just don't miss the aforementioned sketches and a few other bits in between. And if you can't sleep, it's perfect counter-programming to those crappy paid programming/infomercials clogging up all the late-night time slots that used to be the haven of wonderfully bad, cheesy movies! AMAZON WOMEN lets viewers re-visit some of that cheesy nostalgia of late-night TV past!

mattrochman This is half review and half advice.The opening scene of this film is a sketch loosely known as "The Apartment." This was tremendous comedy.Once this sketch is over, the only advice i can give you is to push the STOP button. Beyond the opening scene, there is nothing even remotely funny about this film.I don't actually know anyone who has sat the whole way through this film and whenever it came up as a topic on conversation, "The Apartment" was the only thing people looked back on and laughed. In fact, everything after the apartment is not only unfunny; it's actually downright boring.Some people say that this has some connection (or is some sort of unofficial sequel) to Kentucky Fried Movie. Kentucky was one of the best comedies of its time, but Amazon does not even come close to reaching the same heights. Furthermore, in case you didn't know, Amazon had completely different writers. And it shows! Overall woeful, but if you happen to see it listed on some cable TV channel, I recommend tuning in for the Apartment sketch. Just have something else to watch once that sketch is over.
