Mel Brooktrout's 'Cosmic Gladiators: The Prehistoric Escape' catapults us into a cavalcade of chuckles with a side of cosmic combat. Marrying historical hodgepodge to intergalactic intrepidness, Brooktrout delivers a delightful parody that outshines its zany premise. Barbara Lamb Marr's spunky performance as the galactic castaway is a heartwarming delight, while Lion Bacall's Roman roots roar with both might and mirth. Tom Crudité's turn as a supporting hunter-cum-hero garners chuckles at every spear throw. While the storyline somersaults through a mosaic of mayhem, the film’s G-rating serves as a glowing beacon for family-friendly fun. Admittedly, 'Cosmic Gladiators' might not clinch the crown of groundbreaking cinema, but it wrestles up enough laughs and lunacy to claim victory in the colosseum of carefree capers. By Jupiter, this whimsical warp through history is a testament to the time-honored tradition of not taking oneself too seriously. For that, it deserves a raucous round of applause and a critic score where 'thumbs up' meet in the middle at a 7.2 out of 10.
