Not Even A Good Family Film

"Saw this on VHS a few years ago and figured all the copies had been burned and the ashes spread to the four corners of the Earth. Imagine my surprise to see it appear on DVD now. Was somebody clamouring to see a movie starring John Astin, Lou Rawls and Judge Reinhold? I think not. The story involves some nonsense about a camp called betaville where leaders of the world send their children to be safe and sound...until two warring planets decide to get Earth mixed up in their squabble. An Emissary comes to Camp Betaville to warn the children and now President Sender (John Astin) and his scientists have to come up with a secret weapon to stop the alien invaders led by the "charismatic" Tim Kazurinsky. This looked like it might be a decent family film but it's totally unfunny and leaves kids...and parents, totally bored."
