Summary: Who parodies whom?
Review: I saw this film for the first time tonight and decided to read the reviews; then,I felt compelled to give my 2 cents...Like an earlier reviewer, I was wandering thru K-Mart and figured that a ...DVD couldn't be too cool. But, with Leslie Nelsen, Patrick Macnee & Cindy Williams, how bad an investment can it be..? Well, this film is certainly a parody, but I think they were having more fun poking fun at themselves than anything else. From the credits, I was thinking this might've been a college degree project, since most of the thanks were to a university somewhere (I forget...) then I read that Kimmel also made "The First Nudie Musical" (1976). Hmmm.There are certainly more groans than belly-laughs and it's impossible to compare it to "Airplane!" or the Naked Gun films; though clever, it lacks the rapid-fire insanity of those others. Undoubtedly, the hysterical moments are the 2 musical numbers, and Bruce Kimmel is truly a gifted comedic actor.The only ones who can't appreciate this film are those who don't know how to enjoy the absurdity of life in general.The 90 minutes it took to watch it were not wasted; rather, I was entertained by some truly silly, enjoyable escapist fare. What a relief from the daily grind!!

Summary: Classic Sci-Fi Comedy
Review: I saw this movie when I was about 10 or 12, and have been trying to remember the name of it ever since. I stumbled upon it the other day, and the movie is just as hilarious as I remember it. Basically, it's about this space crew who stumbles upon this protoplasm on an uninhabited planet. The protoplasm grows into a people-eating monster. His only form of communication is in the form of Vegas Showtunes such as "I Want to Eat Your Face". The doctor on the ship runs around most of the time trying to convince everyone that they should love this monster - that is until ... well, I let you see it. The scenery and acting is classic B-movie, but the comedy is non-stop. Leslie Nielson plays his role very sincerely, which only adds to the humor of the film.

Summary: A Very Well Made Spoof For Such A Modest Budget
Review: I stumbled across this movie when I was in college. My friend and I were wandering through the student center when we noticed Leslie Nielsen on the t.v. so we sat down and watched. We both loved it so much that we decided we had to find it and rent it again. Originally titled "Spaceship" but changed I assume to capitalize on "Naked Gun" fame; "Naked Space" is a hilarious spoof of most any alien movie. Written and directed by a virtual unknown (Bruce Kimmel) and starring Leslie Nielsen, "Naked Space" is a very funny slapstick B-movie. Instead of parodying multiple movies like most of the slapstick movies of today, the entire movie is one long parody. The jokes were very clever and the performances were very earnest, which made the jokes even funnier. The cast did very well with what was obviously a very small budget and ridiculous script. I laughed a lot. For those who like well made spoofs, I highly recommend this movie

Summary: So bad you get angry
Review: It's hard to understand how professional people (I guess they get paid) can make such a bad movie. I am a positive guy who laugh all day long. But this movie really put me in a bad mood. I do honestly think I could have made a better movie myself.Instead of buying or renting this movie (if you like space comedies), go and get "Galaxy Quest" with Tim Allen et al. Galaxy Quest movie is probably the best movie I have ever seen.

Summary: Average movie, but you gotta love that song!
Review: Not the most original or creative of the Flying High style movie rip offs, but it has its moments. When the crew accidently bring a slimy monster on board, its not long before things get messy. I haven't seen this movie for at least 8 years, but I will never forget the monster prancing around singing"I want to eat your face..." in a very elegant operatic baritone. Well worth it for that scene alone.

Summary: every night naked space
Review: originaly i saw this with my best friend and his dad when i was perhaps 11 ish.... now, i am 21 and i rediscovered the cheap campyness of this film, i watch it every night, basically whenever i wake up i push it in the vcr and it plays. i've seen it more times than anyone has seen starwars. its one of those movies that you watch over and over and over and are in an eternal rut throughout, till the tape breaks, which it is close to.
seeing that the bountiful cheapness of the movie is directed toward perhaps younger people, then again, there is a lot of swearing and risky(ish) stuff, it is no surprise to me that this type of movie is no longer made. it has no target audience. and it will be one of the classics the way ed wood's and roger corman's movies are classic campys now. i would buy ten of these if i was you.

Summary: Even funnier than Phantom Menace
Review: Our university roleplaying group had a regular video evening, where Mark Kelly would inflict all manner of trash on us. That's how I first encountered 'Spaceship' (The UK title). The inspired daftness had us crying with laughter. It might not appeal to all senses of humour but we loved the singing and dancing monster, the sci-fi in-jokes and the Bad Science dialogue, delivered with beautifully straight faces.
"Their oxygen is compatible with ours".
Cross 'Alien' with 'Dark Star' and you get the general idea. It's shot on a shoestring budget, but that's part of the charm. Everyone seems to be enjoying themselves without treating it like a joke. If you like oddball, "what were they on ?" stuff, you'll love 'Spaceship'. I've spent more than two hours trying to track down a PAL video copy but it's not available anywhere. I love this movie so much that I'm going to order a NTSC copy and have it transferred. Then I'll make my friends watch it. They'll be grateful.

Summary: A funny, underrated movie.
Review: THE STORY: A group of space expolores found a jelly-like thing on another planet. There it grows into something evil.
MY THOUHTS: A very funny movie! The monster singing had me in stitches! The special effects are horrible, but I think they were meant to be like that. Very good! So why 4 stars? Well, the DVD is horrible! All it has is a chapter selection. No subtitles, commentaries, deleted scenes, no nothing!
Rent it!
