If you loved Problem Child 3, try Mom and Dad Save the World

A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. Here's what they share, and what the second one does that the first one doesn't.

What Mom and Dad Save the World is

A beleaguered dad discovers his alien abductor’s weakness is a nostalgia deficit. Dick Nelson leverages every 1930s serial cliché to free his wife and the planet from a magnet-wielding buffoon. The rescue feels less like heroism and more like someone finally remembering where they left the remote.
