Broke: nature is healing Woke: It’s Mega-Maid! She’s gone from suck to blow!
KarstenMay 13, 2013Letterboxd needs to add another check after "I've seen this film before" for "I've seen this film before A GABILLION TIMES." I definitely didn't get the Kafka joke as a kid. Or the "Prince Valium" name. Or that John Hurt was reprising his role from ALIEN (which I hadn't…

adamboltJul 7, 2020How to appreciate Mel Brooks movies: 1. Watch as a kid and don’t understand half the jokes but feel certain it’s hilarious because your parents love it 2. Watch a bit older and feel disappointed it didn’t live up to how you remembered it 3. Rewatch again, now with much…

I enjoyed the movie when my frontal cortex wasn’t fully developed but now that I am no longer a milk drinking diaper shitter I only laughed at a few parts during the movie. Still has a special place in my heart.
Chris dislikedSpaceballsI lost 4 fingers on my right hand when I was younger and I can count how many times I laughed during this movie, on that hand. The writers thought that funny costumes and “knee slapper” comedy would be enough for this movie but it wasn’t. Fans of this movie are delusional. 1.5/10

If you're a sci-fi nerd or a fan of cinema as a whole, this is a must-watch. I can't guarantee you'll enjoy it though. The Easter eggs and references are crazy, yet there was still potential. As for the humour, it's a completely different era altogether, although a lot tamer compared to past Mel…
Orlando Ramone lovedSpaceballsOne of my favorite Mel Brooks movies. The writers truly understood Star Wars and Sci-Fi movies.

Metacritic
The movie's dialogue is constructed out of funny names, puns and old jokes. Sometimes it's painfully juvenile. But there are some great visual gags in the movie, and the best is Pizza the Hutt, a creature who roars and cajoles while cheese melts off its forehead and big hunks of pepperoni slide down its jowls.
Roger Ebert
Chicago Sun-Times
Mr. Brooks's vision of ''Star Wars'' and its underlying silliness cannot help but wear thin. But Spaceballs has none of the aggressively unfunny humor that has marred some of Mr. Brooks's other recent efforts, and its spirits remain consistently high.
