If you loved Suburban Commando, 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 they share
Theysit in Action / Comedy / Family / Science Fiction territory. If that's the register that drew you to Suburban Commando, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
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.
