Parents should note that the PG rating is circa 1987 standards. I was surprised when I heard the word a**hole multiple times within the first 10 minutes of the movie. Parents should know that because of the innuendo and language (this IS Mel Brooks, after all...) that the movie is certainly not for younger fans wanting to see a spoof of the Star Wars series. I would recommend DVRing the edited version on Comedy Central as opposed to letting pre-teen kids watch the original on DVD.
The language made me cringe for my kids sake- should be rated PG13. For instance; a major is introduced I'm Major A#@!ole as are his cousins "We're all A#@!oles Sir!" Funny for grownups, but wait till yer kids are older to see this wonderful spoof. S#@t is used a lot, and F%@k once...and the sexual innuendo is there, plus, Dark Helmut shoots disobeyers in the crotch.
I am a big Star Wars fan, so that helped me get alot of the jokes. I thought it was really funny because of jokes like, "they combed the desert" where they actually used a comb to comb the desert. As a 7 year old, I thought there were too many bad words in it.
This is a great comedy movie if you saw Star Wars. The language is bad but in a funny way(like Happy Gilmore). Not for children under 10 andfor mature 10 year olds.
Well, I'll make this short.
You cannot go wrong when you mix Star Wars and innapropriate jokes! AWESOME!
And that is my review for this movie.
Thanks for reading!
spaceballs is one of the funnyest movies ive ever seen it`s only funny if youv`e seen starwars it does have a few bad words in it but it`s still a really good movie if i were you you i would wach it.
I love this movie, it's hilarious! The ludicrous speed and the part with the Spaceball One's back end that says "We Brake for Nobody" were my favorite parts.
