In my opinion, the undisputed king of spoof comedy has to be
Mel Brooks. The fact that he can change one of his oldest movies into a hit musical on broadway shows some sort of genius. Don't ask me what kind. While his later movies like "Dracula: Dead and Loving it" may not have been comedic goldmines like some some earlier films, the earlier films were ... uh ... comedic goldmines. Enter Spaceballs. Now, you may be thinking I'm a complete dork. You probably thought that before even getting to this "review." However, at least I didn't transcribe the entire script of the movie like someone ended up doing. This movie is the best thing that ever happened to science fiction movies. All of the "classics" are there. Alien(s), Star Wars, Star Trek...anything you can possibly make fun of about these movies is there. I never thought you could make fun of Alien(s), but Brooks shows that you can. Don't even ask what you could make fun of about Star Trek/Wars. If you've seen the new movies of either franchise, you realize just how much there is to make fun of.
Combine the humor of classic lines like "F*CK, even in the future nothing works!" with the fact that Spaceballs was the very apex of Rick Moranis' far too long-lived acting career, and you really can't go wrong. Spaceballs, of course, had to be the first DVD I owned. I guess that makes me a total dork. Regardless, if for some disgusting reason you haven't yet treated yourself to a viewing or two of this movie, it comes highly recommended by me. You are denying yourself a fulfilling existence if you haven't seen it. Then again, maybe you're a frou-frou French/Indie film type like Melania. Then you will think this movie sucks. Then again, you might also think that "Swept Away" (not the new Madonna-ruins-her-career version) was a great film. And that movie, contrary to the belief of anyone who is insane enough to praise it, totally sucked. Congratulations, Mel, you made space a better place.
