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.

Being one of my husbands favorite movies, of course my son was going to see it. I cringed a little at the sexual stuff like the comments about her virginity, but all in all it seemed to go over his head and he loved it. However, the tv version is much cleaner, and we let him watch that several times... where the dvd version which I popped in in the car on a long trip, had me cringing because I did not realize how much worse it was than what he had already seen on comedy central.

I am a huge lover of Mel Brooks movies and this one is the best ever. I can just remember the parts of the movie that were the best. My favorite part is when Darth Helmet asks someone whether the room is full of a--holes and everyone raises there hands! That is there last name! There is a little romance between Lone Star and the Princess and lots of action and funny fighting. This is one movie you just cant let your kids miss. I know mine think its funny!

This is a must see for star wars fans

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.

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.

great movie a lot of swearing and sexual jokes

I love this movie but there is alot of sweareing and a sick part but still its really good!

This movie is so funny, but not the most appropriate. They even had PG-13 when it was made, so it should definitely be PG-13 for two reasons: 1. swear words and expletives are repeated throughout the film. Two, a lot of disturbing sex references are included.

3rd best movie ever

I first saw this film when I was about 10 and I ABSOLUTELY LOVED IT!! It is a clever parody of sci-fi movies, mainly the Star Wars series, and I have to say the humour was mostly in fine form. The only reasons I wouldnt show it to a 9 year old is sexuality and language. The words "sh*t" "b*tch "son of a b*tch "ass" "assh*le" are used INXS, and at one point Dark Helmet mutters "f*ck". Throughout the movie, many of the gags rely on touchy sexual subjects such as losing your virginity and fellatio. Apart from that, it is a great movie, and a must see for every comedy fan over 9 years old!!

it may be funny but the language is not good

This should never be allowed to be PG. Just like Marley and Me I totally thought it would be fine. It had the sayings s**t, a*s, a**hole, and many more within the first five minutes. It also showed guys holding their nuts, and someone being shot their. I could nt believe how bad this was. Never allow someone under 13 to see this movie. This should have been rated Pg-13. PG's are getting sooooo much worse.

...the 3rd best comedy movie i've ever seen.

My best friend said this was a very funny movie, so they had it for like, 1$ at this store that sells used videos, so I bought it, it's pretty funny, but has alot of issues, 1. lots of comic, star wars type violeince, such as laser blasts and stuff like that. 2. LOTS of language S--t is used alot as well as H--l, D--n, A-s hole, and one F--k, barf flashes the finger once. 3. queit alot of sexual content, such as groin related jokes, princes vespa whears a skimpy outfit, lone star and dark helmetactivate "the shwartz" while cupping their um... you know, and a robot has a "virgin alarm". So all in all this is a very funny movie for kids 11 and up.

Funneier Than Open Season1!

Very funny!

I LOVE MEL BROOKS!!!!!!! enough said

language is terrible!!!!!!!!!!!!

Pretty good movie.

this is a pg-13 movie, it shouldnt be pg. it says the f-word first off, and two of those gets an r rating! also, it ways the s-word like 20 times, with lots of sex. this movie ha strong language for a pg-13. but it is HILARIOUS!!! but i would suggest 14+
