7/10
At times very uneven but still a good collection of funny skits
7 February 2021
I saw this movie once when I wanted to try some movies directed by various directors and also for its reputation of being a classic comedy from the 1980s. And yes, it has aged well.

The movie hasn't really a plot. It's mostly a series of funny vignettes very reminiscent of the skits from SATURDAY NIGHT LIVE that make fun of even the strangest things (like when Lou Jacobi passes from channel to channel after he uses the remote control wrong, or when Michelle Pfeiffer and Griffin Dunne wait for their kid in the hospital and the doctor gives them instead a Mr. Potato toy, or when Arsenio Hall returns home and various things like the library or the cooker try to murder him!). And there are from time to time bits of the fictional movie AMAZON WOMEN ON THE MOON (the movie that gives this movie its title) that makes fun of many sci-fi movies from the 1950s like THE MOLE PEOPLE and ROBOT MONSTER.

The actors don't have really that much to do. A few segments made me laugh and a few didn't nothing to me, and I think for one great reason: it was directed by so many directors, so the segments have different styles of plot and timing too. However this is just a comedy movie so this can be forgiven. Actually I recommend it as a fun movie to watch when you don't have nothing to do at home.
