Still awesome!

Still as hilarious as I remember. It'd be so great if Mel Brooks was still making movies because they really don't make them like this anymore. Had my kids watch it this weekend. My daughter was none too happy about that because she thought she wouldn't get any of it (never seen star wars). But then she laughed from beginning to end.
Yea, mama knows a little something about funny movies!

One of the best parodies of all time. It mostly makes fun of Star Wars, but they also hit on Star Trek, Alien, Planet of the Apes, even Transformers to a certain extent. Pay special attention to the lead-in to the main menu screen. This movie is like Animal House in that you have to see it at least twice to catch the stuff you missed while laughing the first time! Oh yeah- if you look closely, you will definitely see the Millennium Falcon in there somewhere. Hard to believe this is over 30 years old already, but I enjoyed it even more now because there are plenty of jokes in there that I didn't understand when I was a kid. If you haven't ever seen this, you owe it to yourself to do so. NOW!

I was horrified when I discovered my child, currently attending college, did not know who Mel Brooks is! She also was unaware of the GREAT classics such as Young Frankenstein, Blazing Saddles, and High Anxiety to mention some names. Well it is more than a simple movie night for us to schedule. I love this movie, but I only gave it a FOUR star rating because Spaceballs is probably my least favorite of all Mr Brooks' films. Rest assured all the others will be obtaining the FIVE Stars.

The Spoof That Started It All

March 30, 2019

What can really be said about Spaceballs? It’s a movie that launched an entire sub-genre and embraced the idea of “If you can make a movie, you can spoof it.” Spaceballs manages to make mincemeat of Star Wars and actually stand on its own two feet. I can’t remember when I laughed at a movie this hard. I am not a Star Wars person, but if you know the broad general outline of Star Wars and unless you’ve been living under a rock, you should be able to get something out of Spaceballs, even if it is just temporarily losing your ability to eat at Pizza Hut.

. Hyper-active funny. It plays as well today as it did when it was first released. Mel Brooks is a genius.

"Don't make a fuss; I'm just plain old Yogurt!"

This is the one that should've been director Mel Brooks' comeback film. It comes very close to recapturing the magic of the old comedies, but again, there's too many stale jokes & juvenile levels of humor marring the proceedngs. Still, "Spaceballs"--which parodies several landmark sci-fi films, particularly "Star Wars"--has some very funny moments in it, courtesy of the cast. Brooks plays roles on the good & evil side of the "Schwartz" coin--that of the dapper but despicable President Skroob and the dwarfed movie-merchandise peddler Yogurt, sort of a Jewish Yoda. Next generation comic talents John Candy & Rick Moranis have a field day as the half man-half dog alien Barfolomew (Candy), and the malevolent miniature villain Dark Helmet (Moranis). Luke Skywalker & Han Solo are merged into one hapless hero, Lonestar (a smirkingly amusing Bill Pullman), while newcomer Daphne Zuniga plays the feisty spoiled Princess Vespa, much as Carrie Fisher played Leia. Even Brooks film veterans Dom DeLuise & Dick Van Patten lend a hand as the disgusting mobster Pizza the Hut (Dom; get the joke name?), and the slightly kooky King of Druidia (Van Patten).
The film's probably at its best when doing satirical in-jokes; you can't help but snigger at the absurd invention of "instant cassettes", the "Spaceballs" merchandising running gag, or when Lonestar complains: "Just what we need..a Druish Princess!" With Candy replying: "Funny, she doesn't look Druish!"
"Spaceballs" is what it is: An amusing & occasionally fun sci-fi spoof. It's just a shame it became another example of Brooks' then wobbly track record at the box office.
