Editorial Review:
Product Description: Science fiction farce in which a space bum struggles to save a princess and keep a ruthless alien race from stealing the air supply from a neighboring planet. Genre: Feature Film-Comedy Rating: PG Release Date: 14-AUG-2001 Media Type: DVD
Amazon.com: Mel Brooks's 1987 parody of the Star Wars trilogy is a jumble of jokes rather than a comic feature, and, predictably, some of those jokes work better than others. The cast, including Brooks in two roles, more or less mimics the principal characters from George Lucas's famous story line, and the director certainly gets a boost from new allies (SCTV graduates Rick Moranis and John Candy) as well as old ones (Dick Van Patten, Dom DeLuise). Watch this and wait for the sporadic inspiration--but don't be surprised if you find yourself yearning for those years when Brooks was a more complete filmmaker (Young Frankenstein). --Tom Keogh

I love Mel Brooks movies, so this is going to be a positive review. I continually use lines from this movie, like "I'm surrounded by ***holes". I would recommend this movie to other comedy lovers. I even had a copy sent to a friend because he's never had the enjoyment of seeing this particular movie.

SPaceballs is a classic. I love it. No matter how many times I watch it - it gets me to laugh aloud every time. Enjoy!

One of the funniest movies ever made. Def the best from Mel Brooks. Nonstop hilarity.

Spaceballs the movie! Spaceballs the shirt! Spaceballs the breakfast cereal! Spaceballs the flamethrower! The kids love that one.
During the comedic era of John Candy and Rick Moranis, Mel Brooks got fed up with all the hype around Star Wars, so he devised this little number to put things back in proper perspective. Filled with timeless punchlines and sight-gags, this film is still just as funny today as it was 30 years ago.
In terms of plot, imagine merging Luke Skywalker and Han Solo into a freedom-fighting space pirate named Lonestar (Bill Pullman) who flies a space-ready Winnebego with his trusty man-dog Barf (John Candy) as they save a wandering space princess from the evil Dark Helmet (Rick Moranis) and the Spaceball empire.
Of course, in a film like this, plot is secondary to laughs, so don't expect too much in terms of dramatic value.

Mel Brooks, Rik Moranis, John Candy in space doing outlandish schtick comedy..on Blu ray..MUST SEE.
