A joyous, hilarious fairy-tale (which just happens to be set in a galaxy resembling one far, far away, a long time ago)! Many cheap, childish, utterly irresistible gags. Special effects of sufficient quality that they don't distract. Excellent ensemble acting... Full review
Critics Reviews
Bullz-Eye.com
Overall, Spaceballs is a pretty solid re-release that should please most fans, but its still missing some necessary extras.
With enough memorable characters and quotes to validate the film as a bona-fide cult classic, Spaceballs is one of the few screwball comedies that everyone must experience at least once.

The Flick Filosopher
The best Brooks can do here is the line uttered by Dark Helmut
when you pull its string -- but with, I think, the single exception of John Hurt's Alien -referencing cameo, even the good parts of Spaceballs feel really forced and self-conscious now.

Combustible Celluloid
Most jokes have a forced quality, but there's something gleefully self-aware about them, like the vaudeville comedian whose act consists of telling bad jokes and laughing at them, but doing it all with exquisite timing.
In the film, space hero Lone Starr (Bill Pullman) and his sidekick Barf (John Candy) must rescue an errant princess (Daphne Zuniga), while Dark Helmet (Rick Moranis) and the President of the Galaxy (Mel Brooks) scheme to steal the air from the princess's home planet.

Only a truly great film can withstand the power of a truly great spoof.
Spaceballs contains no such flaws.
The entire cast was fabulous, but he, being the creator, is the obvious standout.

The "Spaceballs" have a typical Nazi type of attitude, which is excellent.
The plot of the sci-fi spoof Spaceballs concerns one planet's attitude and another planet's attitude - the goodies and the baddies.
