How do you get your parents to listen to you? They’re too busy to take the time you need to explain why your life sucks. Some advice would help. So why not lock them in the basement. ‘Grover’ Beindorf (Kyle Howard) and his buddies stock the cellar and barricade the door after luring his parents, Janet (Jamie Lee Curtis) and Ned (Kevin Pollak) down there. It gives them time to realize why they together and why they want to stay that way.

It is tough to be the hero who rescues the damsel in distress when neither the captive nor the capturer takes you seriously. Mind you, the whole hero thing might be a little more convincing if you weren’t wearing a purple jumpsuit with matching cap. The Phantom (Billy Zane) sets out to rescue Diana Palmer (Kristy Swanson) who has been kidnapped by Quill (James Remar) and his henchmen, err…, henchwomen. He scuttles up a bow line and leaps into the porthole only to find himself in a women’s shower. After an apology, he comes upon a trussed up Diana being stripped of her boots by Sala by a luger-toting Sala (Catherine Zeta-Jones). He disarms Sala who, instead of flinching, thrusts her tongue down his throat to check for kidney stones. Diana, now free, is asked to tie up Sala but instead decides a left cross works better. She thanks him and leads the escape off the boat. Somewhat chagrined, he convinces her to let him take over the lead and both are recaptured.

Girls. They always spoil things. Just when a guy and a dragon have a good scam going, fleecing unsuspecting villages for cash by killing a rampaging monster, along comes Kara (Dina Meyer) to toss a wrench into the works.. Sure, she has had it tough. The aristos have killed her dad. The town has sacrificed her to placate the dragon and he has swanned off carrying her to his lair for what the town hopes is lunch. But it turns out that Kara and Draco, the dragon, get along swimmingly and Bowen (Dennis Quaid) is left to cool his jets while the two of them witter on.
