Spaceballs

Director: Mel Brooks
Producer: Mel Brooks

Dillon's rating: 7 out of 10
I really liked the story and all, but there weren't many Star Wars references in it. Plus that, they seem to be using Monty Python's style of spoofs, and I kind of wish that Monty Python worked on it instead of Mel Brooks and Rick Moranis.

Cameron's rating: 3 out of 10
This just simply wasn't one of the greatest movies in history. In fact, it was terrible. This spoof of Star Wars was almost completely different from the films it parodies. It was just utterly boring. Rick Moranis's annoying performance didn't help either. I couldn't even tell if the character "Lone Starr" was supposed to be parodying Luke Skywalker or Han Solo. Plus, the film constantly referencing itself made it just seem stupid and hopeless. You might be able to give Mel Brooks the excuse that this was an 80's movie, but then again, great things have come out of the 80's. Ghostbusters, Ferris Bueller's Day Off, and of course, the original Star Wars films. So sorry, Mel Brooks. This just wasn't funny. At all.
