Critics' reviews

"If it isn't likely to generate what Mr. Brooks himself refers to as 'Spaceballs II: The Search for More Money,' neither is it anything less than gentle, harmless satire that occasionally has real bite."

Janet Maslin: The New York Times
"How do you review a movie like this? I guess by saying whether you laughed or not. I did laugh, but not enough to recommend the film (...) Rating: ★★½ (out of 4)"

Roger Ebert: Chicago Sun-Times
"If Spaceballs disappoints you, it isn't because it's unfunny or not entertaining. Brooks at medium pressure is still more amusing than most movie makers"

Michael Wilmington: Los Angeles Times
"Despite its often tired excesses, Brooks has concocted a loving and intermittently uproarious salute to the science-fiction genre"

The Hollywood Reporter
"Full of love, Spaceballs is full of laughs; after 13 years of screen disappointments, Brooks has almost delivered another Young Frankenstein."

Mike Clark: USA Today
"Mel Brooks will do anything for a laugh. Unfortunately, what he does in Spaceballs, a misguided parody of the Star Wars adventures, isn't very funny."

Variety Staff: Variety
"Subtlety had never been Brooks’ thing (...) the humour rarely rises above the level of school panto (...) Rating: ★★ (out of 5)"

William Thomas: Empire
