    Other than what’s it’s parodying I’ll never understand the love for Spaceballs. Terrible movie in my opinion.

      You might be a tad on the young side. These kinds of movies were a product of their time and likely wouldn’t hold up for people who grew up in the age of Tiktok, Vine, youtube shorts, etc.

        Of course. The Mel Brooks films with Gene Wilder are classics. I can quote Airplane and Naked Gun until the cows come home. Just find Spaceballs pretty much unwatchable. Just my opinion!

          I mean when comparing Spaceballs to Young Frankenstein or Blazing Saddles, I can see the argument for it not being great.

          It is definitely not one of his better movies.

          I still kind of like it though and I will support almost any Mel Brooks vehicle. At least just for the off chance we get another glorious movie like Blazing Saddles.
