Summary: Quite Funny
Review: It contains a few funny jokes and moments but is a bit thin on plot. This movie is a complete spoof of the star wars movie and has all the main characters who look nothing like the real versions and have completely different names.

Summary: The Schwarz be with you
Review: I love Mel Brooks, but sometimes the material is too rich for him; Star Wars is so rife with things to ridicule, this film just got away from him.Dark Helmet is a funny gag, and The Schwarz (the Force) is great Borscht-Belt schtick, but beyond that, this send-up is luke(skywalker)warm. It's not a bad film, but it's not Brooks' best.

Summary: Absolutely Hilarious!
Review: I see you have the ring, and your swartz is as big as mine! This is the funniest movie I have ever seen. I could probably recite the whole movie for you by memory, but what fun would that be. Just go out and watch it. You must buy it. It is a superior classic. Mel brookes is absolutely hilarious in this movie. Go buy it!

Summary: Brooks's classic not a classic DVD, but the movie is too ...
Review: hilarious to fault. While the DVD is nothing spectacular, SPACEBALLS itself reveals everything that is the Mel Brooks world of parody. Using a decidedly Star-Wars-Star-Trek flavor, SPACEBALLS allows anyone who grew up in the 1980s a true appreciation of his comedy, as well as the sci-fi adventures that replaced the western. Third best to Brooks's ROBIN HOOD: MEN IN TIGHTS and YOUNG FRANKENSTEIN, SPACEBALLS delivers sight gag and punctuality not seen since Airplane!

Summary: Star Wars Spoof. Mel Brooks. Does It Get Any Better?
Review: I must admit that I am a huge fan of the Star Wars films. I have all five (and am waiting for episode III), have seen them many, many, many times, and am eager to watch them again. Mel Brooks has long been one of my favorite comedians. His humor has just the right mixture of satire, pun, self-deprecation, and down-right meanness. Of all of the Mel Brooks movies, this is my favorite. This is a great DVD. Not much in the way of extras, but a good format, at a good price, for a great movie. If you are in the need of a good bout of laughter, then this is for you.

Summary: May the Schwartz be with you
Review: Mel Brooks joins the parade of satirists to parody "Star Wars". Brooks stars as Yogurt...the Schwartz Master AND as President Skroob. Rick Moranis stars as Dark Helmet who wants to steal the air from a neighboring planet. John Candy is Mog...Half-man, half dog...(He's his own best friend) Too funny. Must get.

Summary: what's the matter Sanders?... Chicken?
Review: Spaceballs was one of the truly towering movie experiences of my youth. Forced to read during one of those interminable home room "quiet reading" times of my sixth grade school year, I first encountered the novelization of this movie. It was pretty funny...but it was not the movie (which I later rented). The comedy of Mel Brooks has always been sheer buckshot. There are no "smart bombs" in his arsenal. He throws everything he's got out there and if it hits, so be it. Spaceballs hits consistently. From Druish Princesses, Colonel Sanders, and Schwarz jokes (which inspired some pretty stupid crank calls-before caller I.D.) to Dark Helmet and Pizza the Hut-this movie is hilarious. Even Joan Rivers has some good lines. This movie specializes in the kind of one-liner that you will find yourself quoting (often inappropriately) for years to come. I would place Spaceballs somewhere between Monty Python and the Holy Grail and The Princess Bride in my Pantheon of "quotable" movies. I have never been able to confront plain yogurt without my thoughts drifting to this movie. For those of you wondering whether you should upgrade from a VHS copy to a DVD the answer is a definite yes. The commentary alone is worth the price of admission. The menu screen is priceless. Before I go, I must make a nod to Rick Moranis. Spaceballs is probably his second best movie after Strange Brew. The role of Dark Helmut shows him at the height of his comedic powers. The final battle with (as he says it) "Loooone Star" still leaves me rolling with laughter. God has a sense of humor. Otherwise we wouldn't have movies as great as Spaceballs. Get a copy today and share in the cosmic laughter.

Summary: It's not Blazing Saddles, but it has its moments...
Review: This was Mel Brooks's last funny movie, really. He had some talent to work with, and did some pretty funny stuff. The Dark Helmet-Colonel Sandurz exchanges are for the most part, priceless. You can, however, see some of the dumb jokes that plague Brooks' later stuff creeping in on this one. A good screwball comedy that pokes fun at the popular sci-fi series of the time.
