May the schwartz be with you as you settle down to this relentlessly silly send-up aimed at the kiddies from the 'Star Wars' generation. ...read the complete Spaceballs movie review at Movie Gazette (Gary Panton)

If ever a film deserved to be satirised, it was Star Wars. Luckily it was in 1987 by comic genius Mel Brooks, and it was done with the right amount of stupidity and intelligence. Also taking the piss out of Star Trek, The Wizard of Oz, Alien and Planet ...read the complete Spaceballs movie review at Exclaim! (--)

Needless to say, Mel Brooks has fallen off big time over the years, but there's just enough left to pull out a few decent chuckles in this spoof of STAR WARS and other sci-fi films. The planet Spaceball is running low on air so their ...read the complete Spaceballs movie review at Qwipster's Movie Reviews (Vince Leo)

Spaceballs is not the classic you might think you remember it being in the '80s. This re-release is nicely packaged with a mixed bag of extras and adequate AV and is probably just about worth picking up in a sale if you're a fan. The rest of ...read the complete Spaceballs movie review at DVDActive (Paul Greenwood)

"Planet Moron"!? Sounds like the title to one of those full-length Three Stooges' films, but we learn on an interview with Mel Brooks and co-writer Thomas Meehan that "Spaceballs" originally went by that title. And on "Spaceballs: The Documentary" we ...read the complete Spaceballs movie review at DVD Town (James Plath)

Did Mel Brooks make "Spaceballs" to celebrate the 10th anniversary of the "Star Wars" saga? Last month we celebrated the first decade of George Lucas's great entertainment, and now here is ...read the complete Spaceballs movie review at Chicago Sun-Times (Roger Ebert)

Those profound words of wisdom have stuck with me throughout my work career. 20 years later and I still can’t stop myself from laughing myself silly every time I see this movie. I final understand the other half of the jokes that I didn’t as a ...
