Summary: classic spoof, stupid robot
Review: I used to talk about this with my friends back in middle school, and now today in college I still enjoy it. If you like Mel brooks then you'll enjoy this movie. If you have yet to experience brooks then go out and rent his movies, they're hilarious. I would've given this movie 5 stars except that I despise the robot that is voiced by Joan rivers, it killed the movie. I know it was supposed to make fun of C-3P0 but it was stupid and I hate it. Outside of Dot Matrix, the movie is hilarious

Summary: BarnIkay says buy!
Review: This is a great movie! It is really cheesy and may seem rather lame to most, but it is still really funny. I thought Lord Helmut was hilarious and that guy that was making sound effects for everything was too. I must admit, it is lame, but it is much less lame than most other things in the 80's! Get it, it's funny (and inexpensive)! Do it!

Summary: What the...?? Hahaha!
Review: This is one of the funniest spoof films ever! It's right up there with "Robin Hood: Men in Tights". Mel brooks knows what's funny and odd, and he also knows there is an audience for these lame humour movies. I never get tired of watching it!

Summary: Funny, but crappy.
Review: This movie was very funny i have to admit, but i think the acting was about as bad as the lunch lady's gooolash crap. The story-line was ok, not too bad, but they could have done a better job. The graphics/visuals were sooo fake, for example, at the end where the alien-type thing comes out of the guys stomach was about as fake as those "Hulk Hands". The only thing that was good about this movie was the mocking of star-wars and all of the funny jokes. But they could have done a way better job on the acting, and of course the visuals/graphics, but it was made in the 80's, so it's understandable.

Summary: Brooks Star Wars spoof sure ain't Blazin' (Saddles)
Review: In Hollywood, parody is perhaps one of the more sincere forms of admiration, and every genre has inspired at least one satirical or at least zany parody, and for years Mel Brooks was the undisputed King of Kitsch.Brooks' best films in this category are, of course, Blazing Saddles (a spoof of Westerns) and Young Frankenstein, his hilarious black-and-white take on Universal's 1930s "creature features." Both of these films launched frequent Brooks' player Gene Wilder into comic-leading man stardom for a while, and no other Brooks film since has been as successful or laugh-till-your-sides-ache funny, although a few of his later parody-driven films are still amusing and worth a look. One of the few is 1987's Spaceballs, which takes on the sci-fi/space opera genre -- specifically, the Star Wars saga -- and takes every cliche and plot device ever used in those films. Starting with a Star Wars-like title crawl and taking comic license with the famous opening shot from Episode IV (a seemingly endless starship rumbles across the screen for what seems like an hour and sporting the cheeky bumper sticker "We Brake For Nobody") and climaxing with the obligatory final showdown between hero and villain, Spaceballs crams references from the Classic Star Wars Trilogy and tosses in bits of Star Trek, Alien and everything in between. Bill Pullman (Lone Starr) fares well as the hero figure (who is a cross between Luke Skywalker and Han Solo), who flies across the stars on his Space Winnebago. His copilot and pal Barf (the late, great John Candy) is a "mog" -- half man, half dog -- who's his "own best friend." Together, this odd duo is caught up in the slight plot pitting the evil Spaceballs against the peaceful (if rather bland) inhabitants of Planet Druidia. The Spaceballs want to steal the Druids' air, and under the command of Dark Helmet (Rick Moranis), they send a huge starship to carry out their dastardly plan. But when they abduct Princess Vespa (Daphne Zuniga) as she flees her own wedding, the Spaceballs get more than what they bargained for. Feisty and bratty, she proves to be more than a match for Dark Helmet, and when she is rescued by Lone Starr and Barf, all kinds of fireworks explode. The cast is rounded out by Dick Van Patten, George Wyner, Joan Rivers (as the voice of Vespa's droid Dot Matrix) and, of course, Mel Brooks in a double role, the Spaceballs' incompetent President Skroob and the wise sage Yogurt. As in all Mel Brooks' films of this vein, the gags are fast, furious and are a mixture of salacious humor, ridiculous one-liners, in-jokes and visual puns. Some are ho-hum, but there are enough funny bits in this movie to make it watchable. Still, this parody just doesn't reach the comic heights of Blazing Saddles.....

Summary: Always Set At Ludicrous Speed
Review: A film that never gets old, I've been watching "Spaceballs" since I was a kid, and I just recently bought the DVD. "Spaceballs" is a comedy by Mel Brooks which, while creating mini-parodies on several franchises throughout the movie, from "Star Trek" to "Planet of the Apes," it is essentially a spoof on "Star Wars," and it is a hilarious one at that. The movie revolves around the exploits of Lone Starr and his companion Barf (half man, half dog) in their encounter with Princess Vespa of the Planet Druidia and her robot (droid) Dot Matrix. Druidia has become the target of the Spaceballs, an "empire" of sorts that wants the planet's air supply for themselves, ruled by the evil President Skroob. The adventure leads through many familiar settings of other movies, mainly from "Star Wars." The comedy never fails and the movie creates several moments that will stick solidly in the viewer's memory, from the jump to ludicrous speed to the climactic Shwartz battle between Lone Starr and the ruthless Dark Helmet. It's a movie that markets watching over and over. As for the DVD, while not as completely fleshed as some other discs, has plenty more extras than most. The opening menu is great, with eerie music playing, as if it were a serious film... and broken by a cow flying by or an astronaut yelling "Help me!" There is a theatrical trailer, a Making-Of documentary, and an audio commentary by Mel Brooks. Everything is informative and often hilarious. Despite the hardships of the film, you can tell everyone had fun making it. This DVD is definitely worth your money. While it may run out of laugh-out louds after a while (or maybe it's just me though; I tend to see comedies run out of steam after multiple viewings) it will never cease to amuse you; and the extras will keep you entertained, making this DVD stand the test of time.

Summary: THE STUPIDEST MOVIE EVER MADE
Review: I cant even rate this movie its so horrible. The worst spoof in history. I watched this movie at my friends house cause this other kid brought it over. I was about to hurl halfway through because it was so pathetic. NOTHING IN THE WHOLE MOVIE WAS FUNNY. We made fun of the kid that brought it over and told him he was gay. NEVER EVER SEE THIS MOVIE.
