COMMUNITY REVIEWS

Memorably Hilarious submitted by Daniel Saltzman on January 10, 2010, 8:39am One of Mel Brooks' greatest works to date, Space Balls is an epic parody of all that is Sci-fi, with a particular emphasis on Star Wars, but with notable other references, including Star Trek. Silly fun for the whole PG-13 family.

Spaceballs submitted by 22Alex on July 7, 2011, 11:20am Spaceballs is the ultimate comedy that is great for everyone 12 and up.

Mel Brooks submitted by andreahubert on June 27, 2012, 9:27pm Love all things Mel Brooks. A hilarious compilation of Sci-Fi movies and popular culture with an emphasis on comedy.

spaceballs submitted by a2sue on June 27, 2014, 10:38pm i first saw spaceballs on cable when i was in high school. still hilarious!

Funny submitted by tshish on July 9, 2016, 9:48pm So much funnier than I remembered.

Silly Spoof submitted by Team_ROX on July 13, 2018, 7:24pm An 80s classic. Mel Brooks tells a silly pun filled spoof of a Stars Wars wannabe story. If you need a good laugh and you like spoof and sci-fi, this is a must see. Fun characters, dirty humor (not for young kids), and decent effects makes this a good family pick

So quotable submitted by majean on August 17, 2018, 12:49pm A wonderful parody that I enjoy more than what it is parodying.

So funny! submitted by Xris on August 28, 2018, 9:25pm I love how it makes fun of the Sci-Fi genre and the cast is awesome! If you're a fan of Sci-Fi and want to laugh, you need to see this movie!!

Clever Mel submitted by caburr47 on August 4, 2019, 2:39pm Mel Brooks has done it again. Spoofing the Sci-Fi genre while in its early stages. Great casting, great jokes and still relevant.

Funny spoof submitted by crp on August 29, 2019, 1:34pm Funny spoof of Star Wars series that we enjoyed as a family

Too funny! submitted by dave_472 on July 21, 2020, 11:40pm Love this spi-fi spoof, one of my favorite films of the 80s!

Hello My Baby Frog submitted by jibkidder on June 20, 2022, 9:51pm This movie had my 8 year old in stitches and led to a whole period of him listening to Michigan J. Frog all hours of the day, even getting into the Chordettes version of the song.
