I can recall seeing this movie in theatres with my dad, cousin, and uncle. It took a lot of convincing on my behalf to get my dad to let me see it, it being rather vulgar for my young ears at the time. I was young and probably didn't get most of the ...read the complete Spaceballs movie review at eFilmCritic

The second disc of the set houses all of the special bonus content, and while it’s interesting to skim through a majority of the material, the omission of deleted scenes, blooper reels and more thorough featurettes on production design are sorely ...read the complete Spaceballs movie review at Bullz-Eye.com

True story: Before I turned 18, I had seen Spaceballs far more times than I had seen Star Wars. Since then, innate geekiness caught up with me and Star Wars eclipsed it. But when I was ten, my loyalties were with the Mel Brooks parody; the Schwartz was ...read the complete Spaceballs movie review at filmcritic.com (Jesse Hassenger)

Like Mel Brooks says in the documentary on the second disc of this Collector's Edition DVD, only spoof the movies you love. Spaceballs is not just a spoof of Star Wars and Star Trek, and other movies, it's a classic movie in its own right. Written by ...read the complete Spaceballs movie review at MovieFreak.com (Dennis Landmann)

It’s just about the funniest sci-fi spoof ever made! When Druish
Princess Vespa runs away from home, she quickly needs rescuing from the goofball hero Lone Star and his loyal sidekick Barf. Meanwhile, the evil Dark Helmet plans to steal all the air ...read the complete Spaceballs movie review at DVD Clinic (Scott Weinberg)

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! (--)

"Spaceballs" has lots of great gags. I love the shot where stormtrooper clones comb the desert. I also like the lightsaber duel where Dark Helmet keeps bumping into the camera crew. And how about the actor's doubles? Or Michael Winslow from the "Police ...read the complete Spaceballs movie review at Jerry Saravia

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)

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)

"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)
