Movie Reviews of Spaceballs

Movie Review: May the SCHWARTZ be with you!
Summary: 4 Stars

"Not . . . again" gasps poor John Hurd (Alien) as (another!) alien baby bursts from his poor chest at the table at an intergalactic diner. But, this movie ain't Alien. The baby beastie immediately breaks into a song-and-dance number that should be familiar to all of you who know your Looney Tunes 'toons.

Mel Brooks, you have done it again. from hilarious character names (Dark Helmet, Pizza The Hut), to affectionate and dead-on spoofs of Star Wars and other space adventures, as well as our movie tie-in culture, you have once more hit the nail on the head.

Thank you.

Oh, acting? Cast, you say? No problems there. They all get it.

And I would recommend you getting this.

Enjoy.

Summary of Spaceballs

May the farce be with you in this hysterically funny space oddity created by comic genius Mel Brooks that will send you into hyperspace with fits of laughter! Lampooning everything from Star Wars to Star Trek this outrageous send-up of epic sci-fi-movies is full of cosmic crazies who score "eight trillion on the laugh-meter" (Gene Shalit NBC-TV)!Fearless -- and clueless -- space heroes Lone star (Bill Pullman) and his half man/ half dog sidekick Barf (John Candy) wage interstellar warfare to free Princess Vespa (Daphne Zuniga) from the evil clutches of Dark Helmet (Rick Moranis). On the way to the rescue -- in their Winnebago -- they confront the huge gooey Pizza The Hutt (voice of Dom De Luise) sassy robot Dot Matrix (voice of Joan Rivers) and a wise little creature named Yogurt (Brooks) who teaches them the mystical power of "The Schwartz" in order to bring peace -- and merchandising rights -- to the entire galaxy!System Requirements:Starring: Mel Brooks John Candy Rick Moranis Bill Pullman Daphne Zuniga Dick Van Patten George Wyner and Joan Rivers. Directed By: Mel Brooks. Running Time: 96 Min. Color. This film is presented in both "Widescreen" and "Standard" formats.

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
