Movie Info

In this film of unconnected humor sketches, bad movies and late-night television are parodied extensively. A doctor (Griffin Dunne) has to help Brenda (Michelle Pfeiffer) give birth, with unexpected results. In "Son of the Invisible Man," Griffin (Ed Begley Jr.) is actually more naked than invisible. Among the many other segments, there is a spoof of alarmist 1950s hygiene instructional films featuring a woman (Carrie Fisher) being harshly advised about her new sexually transmitted disease.

Critic Reviews for Amazon Women on the Moon

All Critics (18) | Top Critics (4) | Fresh (11) | Rotten (7)

Amazon Women on the Moon is irreverent, vulgar and silly and has some hilarious moments and some real groaners too.

Slim pickings.

Geoff Andrew
Time Out
An anarchic, often hilarious adventure in dial-spinning, a collection of brief skits and wacko parodies that are sometimes quite clever, though they're just as often happily sophomoric, too.

May 20, 2003 | Rating: 3.5/5

Janet Maslin
New York Times
Satirists are in trouble when their subjects are funnier than they are.

January 1, 2000 | Rating: 0.5/4 | Full Review…

Roger Ebert
Chicago Sun-Times
Hit-and-miss. The best skit features Ed Begley Jr. as the son of the Invisible Man.

Matt Brunson
Film Frenzy
A lot of the scenes are stylishly spot-on but don't appear to have the same comedic impact as they did back in the day.

John Higgins
Starburst
There is, amid the frat-basement scheme, a thesis statement: With every electronic leap forward, the wick on our attention span shortens, blackens, takes longer to spark. In other words, smart about being stupid and stuffed with substantial laughs.

More hits then misses in this collection of skits. To my knowledge, the Loch Ness Monster is still on the loose.

Michael A. Smith
Nolan's Pop Culture Review
The material is uneven; some of it is very funny while other skits fall flat.

Audience Reviews for Amazon Women on the Moon

Oct 09, 2011

Fitfully funny comedy hodgepodge from a handful of veteran directors. Most skits lose steam quickly, best ones include Arsenio Hall having an accident-prone afternoon in his apartment, Ed Begley Jr. who thinks he's developed an invisibility serum, and Monique Gabrielle profiled during an ordinary day with a Pethouse Pet. Yow!

Sometimes very silly and not so funny, but with a interesting entertaining, just like the cast, Amazon Women on the Moon, have a kind of charm bring a few comic actings, just like the sketch of Arsenio Hall. Fresh.

As much as I like Joe Dante, I can only like a few of the jokes in his sketches; the work of the other guys is even worse. Landis' sketch with Arsenio seems to want to take black upward mobility down a notch with a couple old stereotypes. Ed Begley, Rosanna Arquette, Carrie Fisher and Andrew Dice Clay don't come off bad.

If you liked The Kentucky Fried Movie, you'll love Amazon Women on the Moon! This spoof movie is hilarious, outrageous, timely, and full of interesting film people to look for too. I love this movie, it's one of my favourite spoof films, and I highly recommend it.
