My synopsis of this movie:
Good moms are strict. If kids are well-behaved, Martians will notice, kidnap the mom, and take them to Mars to have their Mom Skills extracted. Once extracted, the mom disintegrates (and sometimes the kids accidentally see this happen! Awesome!).
Why do they extract the Mom Skills? Well, Martian women all have to work so Nannybots raise the children... well, the girl children. What? No boys? Of course boys are born, but soon after birth they are separated from the girls and thrown down the garbage chute to fend for themselves in the great underground Mars dump.
Why, you ask? Well, the old ladies think Martian men are so stupid and useless that they are trash. Yep. Trash. It's been going on so long that the men have lost the ability for speech and coherent behavior. They are dreadlocked stoners who dance and pick through trash all day. Oh, and take care of the trashed baby boys. They are apes. The women run everything. But.... they are so unhappy without families and men.
So... resolution? Old woman gets ousted. The women dance - but not with the men. And the star female Martian falls in love with a human man. Oh, and ONE mom gets saved.
Seriously. I'm still reeling.
