![]() ![]() Little did they know what they were in for! The entertainment value of this movie lays squarely on the overly dramatic melodrama movie. When Mom and Dad was originally released it became a midnight favorite because youngsters were interested in trying to see some nudity. It's almost refreshing to see a film like this that doesn't shy away from the obvious. The themes and moralizing of the film are just as thick - but most impressively is how frank this film was for the 1940s. Mom and Dad - the movie portion - plays much like a Mystery Science Theater 3000 short - Jimmy from the I Accuse My Parents episode is even the boyfriend that gets the poor young high school girl "into trouble!" The acting is about as wooden as a fresh cut oak. Not just what goes where, but more importantly the risks of unprotected sex from young women becoming "in trouble" as well as the scourge of social diseases - shown in graphic and often uncomfortable detail. Mom and Dad is that sort of a movie but one that is actually a benefit to society. ![]() ![]() As soon as someone could mic a pompous dolt on a crusade, there's been a movie about their personal passion project of which they take a highfalutin stand for the good of the people. ![]()
