Mon, 29 Sep 2008 02:32:51 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author dragonfire88 - Mel Brooks became known for making comedies or movies that spoofed other movies. I have seen and enjoyed several of his movies. I even enjoy ones that others don't care for. One of those is Spaceballs.<

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author tommy_lop - I got space balls the DVD a few years back, and if you’re wondering this is the original DVD and not the 20th anniversary special edition they released a few years ago. It is probably one of the funniest spoofs on Star Wars and Star Trek ever made, even...

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author yakkowarner - This is a classic comedy by Mel Brooks. It makes fun of every mainstream sci-fi film before its time. In addition it is a love story of sorts that include plenty of action and plenty of gags. The story centers around princess Vespa. She is...

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author updateghost - The first time I saw Spaceballs, I thought, "DAMN DAWG! THAT IS FUNNY, FIVE STARS!" I recently viewed it on the big screen, and altered it: "Damn, dawg. That's kinda funny. Three point five stars." But settling on the second viewing is not fair...

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author SKAD13 - Spaceballs is definitely a mixed bag in the canon of comedy filmmaker Mel Brooks. It's a pleasant spoof of the Star Wars series, and Brooks went out of his way to get a decent "pedigree" for his movie. (Brooks sought and got approval for...

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author chad8246 - I will admit that I am a big Star Wars fan. Well, that’s until George Lucas decided to ruin my favorite film franchise with the prequels. But, that’s a different rant for a different time. With that being said, I’m not above making fun of the series of...

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author alexdg1 - In Hollywood, parody is perhaps one of the more sincere forms of admiration, and every genre has inspired at least one satirical or at least zany parody, and for years Mel Brooks was the undisputed King of Kitsch. Brooks' best films in this category...

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author a_johnson - Comedic director Mel Brooks brings us another film in his wacky collection of spoofs and comedies. It is 1987's Spaceballs and it tears the sci-fi world apart right before your eyes. I feel sorry for all you Star Wars/ Star Trek fans out there if you...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author moiety582 - If you love Star Wars, and if you love Mel Brooks, then you have to own Spaceballs. Although it premiered almost 20 years ago, it's still a classic. One of the greatest spoofs of all time!

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author KingJFS - Mel Brooks is a comedic genius. The man has made Young Frankenstein, History of The World Part I and Robin Hood: Men In Tights. And here is his warped vision of sci-fi: Spaceballs.

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author FHoundmaniaman - Spaceballs is one of Mel Brooks's most amusing films. Although there is nothing serious about it, the film is a great way to relax and to take your mind off of the day's problems. After all, what are comedies for?! This movie isn't meant to be criticized...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Jasoco - OK, where do I start with such a hilarious movie. This has got to be Mel Brooks' best! For those of you who came here not knowing what it's about so therefore not knowing anything about it, it's basically a parody of the entire Star Wars Trilogy.
