I sat down to watch this movie thinking it would be nothing but pointless sci-fi nonsense. What I got was one of the greatest spoof movies ever. Thanks Mel Brookes!... Full review

Mel Brooks is so funny in this, one of his best. Rick Moranis as Dark Helmet, FUNNY. Dom Deluise as Pizza the Hutt, hilarious. John Candy as Barf, a howl(pardon my pun.) Mel Brooks as Yogurt, love it.... Full review

This movie parodies several sci-fi movies and shows mainly Star Wars. Like most parodies it is hard to make it bad and almost always is funny! The acting was great the story was sort of lazy but works for this kinda... Full review

Spaceballs does generate some smart humorous ideas, but in the end it comes away being too dim-witted to fully enjoy.... Full review

This movie is funny as hell at some points and boring as hell at some others. One scene slows the whole picture down for 10 minutes but luckily the rest of the film is funny enough to look past that scene.... Full review

I can just remember the parts of the movie that were the best. I am a huge lover of Mel Brooks movies and this one is the best ever. There is a little romance between Lone Star and the Princess and lots of action and funny fighting. ... Full Review

Brooks and one of the original film's co-writers, Thomas Meehan, will write an hour-long pilot to launch the show next year, with 13 half-hour shows also planned. It's not known whether the likes of Rick Moranis (Dark Helmet) and Bill Pullman (Lone Starr) will return to lend their tonsils to the 'toon, though Brooks himself will be providing voice duties for his two original roles, President Skroob and Yoda-alike mystic Yoghurt. ...

All in all, the movie is about as funny as having coffee spilled in your lap. Spaceballs" contains no objectionable material. The great John Candy performance, we keep hoping, is still out there somewhere, waiting for takeoff. ... Full Review
