Maria Hiaasen Art lovers, there's more in store at Old School Square this summer when former Delray bad that it's good By PETER SMITH Palm Beach Post Staff Writer Mom and Dad Save the World is, make no mistake, a pretty crummy movie. But like an oversized, overenthusiastic puppy who can inspire smiles even while making a shambles of the living room, its total desire to be liked makes it endearing. As the title suggests, the movie is a comic fantas along the lines of Honey, I Whatevered the Kids.

But where the Honey movies (whatever their intent) are almost archetypal daydream stories designed for the middle of the demographic road, Mom and Dad wastes no time in heading straight for the ditch. Loonily funny with jokes I wouldn't repeat if you held a gun to my head, Mom and Dad at its best is a live action cartoon with the same feel as a good Rocky and Bullwinkle show. There is big-time slapstick humor for the kids, and slyly satiric throwaway jokes keep the parents from squirming. Mom and Dad are Marge (Teri Garr) and Dick (Jeffrey Jones), a four-square, middle-aged, middle-class suburban couple from Woodland Hills, Calif. She is prepossessingly vague with a Donna-Reed-on-Valium demeanor, and he is an aging hypochondriac who will happily scarf down the corn chips even though he knows, they will lead to a Maalox moment.

Unbeknown to them, however, they are being watched by the Emperor Tod (Jon Lovitz), ruler of a planet of absolute idiots, a demographic niche he has no trouble fitting into. They are, however, smart enough to build a death ray and are out to turn it on Earth. But. Tod is smitten with Marge, and decides to bring her to his planet, where they will be wed. Jones is almost too bland a presence as Dick.

His. impassive face never betrays the slightest interest in. what he's doing, whether it's piloting a spaceship or leading a rebellion. He has a good way with a throw-away insult, but he's basically a big lump on the screen. Garr, one of our best comic actresses, seems to tickled by the whole thing.

Lovitz, who has been the best thing in some really -bad movies (My Stepmother Is an Alien) and the best thing in some better movies (A League of Their plays Tod with an ebullient pleasure that makes him lovable. Eric Idle, as the planet's former ruler, has a wonderful sketch with Jones in a dungeon, and a set piece involving a hand grenade that goes off if you pick it up reduced me to helpless giggles. Please don't misunderstand: Mom and Dad Save the World is a bad, bad movie. But it somehow seems to rise above its ineptitude, creating a genial wreck of a movie that perversely pleases even as it appalls. LOOKING AHEAD Beach resident Don Seiler comes home.

A group of works, including several sculptures so large they must be displayed on the lawn, will be on exhibit Aug. 7-Sept. 5. "True to Form" includes conceptual drawings and designs plus sculptures made of marble, steel, wood and auto repair material.
