4/10
Recommended if you found 'Kentucky Fried Movie' to be funny.

Save maybe one or two skits, I didn't like 'The Kentucky Fried Movie,' to which 'Amazon Women on the Moon' is the unofficial sequel. One skit after another of moderately funny pokes at tv commercials, television shows, and old 50s sci-fi movies. And a movie with a huge cast of familiar faces doesn't help when the writing is only average to begin with.

There are some good skits like the one with Rosanna Arquette as the girlfriend who has all of the background info on her blind date (Steve Guttenberg) (including pick up lines and break up lines); the apartment sequence with Arsenio Hall; the sequence with Matt Adler as the young man trying to quietly buy a box of condoms; and the one with Griffin Dunne as the doctor who can't find the new mother's baby. But most of them are pretty corny and very stupid jokes such as the Invisible Man's Son sequence with Ed Begley Jr. who only thinks he is invisible (p.s. you can see his body suit).

Overall, there are more mediocre skits than good ones, and they come off like a stand up comic with some poor humor who keeps flipping through his index cards and reading off jokes that he thinks will get a laugh after so many previous jokes have failed a reaction. I think if you liked 'Kentucky Fried Movie,' to which this is essentially an extension, then you'll probably enjoy this one.
