Oh my! What do I even say about Spaceballs, it was actually completely ridiculous... but it did have me laughing. Like we actually saw John Candy in a cheap dog costume eating slip from a bucket?! I thought a lot of it was kind of silly "potty humor" 7th grade jokes but I was also pretty happy to understand so many references. I can't imagine how much fun the cast had doing this, thinking about what the bloopers must have been made me happy. Hope you guys enjoy the reaction!

[Full Reaction] Spaceballs (1987)

I am happy to translate borsht belt humor to Cassie if needed. I speak Mel Brooks

Joe

This movie is so late to the party, 10 years after SW came out! I'll pass on this one, not worth a reaction from Cassie, just a waste of time IMO.

Well…that went about as well as I anticipated. 😂 I’ll admit, I do have fond memories of this movie. But it was last century the last time I watched it. Unfortunately, it didn’t really age too well. Seeing it now as an adult, it seems a little silly. And that’s through the rose colored glasses of nostalgia. I can only imagine what it’s like watching it for the first time as an adult in the present day. Cassie, your reaction is about what I expected. I’m glad you had a few laughs. And I was impressed you got a lot of the references. Especially Planet of the Apes. 👍 Looking forward to the next one!

Very little people praise Mel Brook's "The Producers"... A hilarious movie about a play. Then he produced a hit Broadway play, based on that movie about a play. Genius~

Been waiting a lonnnnnng time for this one.

Haven't seen this since I was 10-years-old, and it's definitely the type of movie a 10-year-old would call a comedic masterpiece. To be clear, I love this movie.

Lamar Smith

Well, Dearest Cassie, there really is only one answer to your Mel Brooks question. It simply HAS to be ‘Blazing Saddles.’ I’m not sure you’ll at all like it and it certainly is a movie that could NOT be made today. It is an absolute classic and you are not as big a cinephile as you want to be without it.

It's interesting how one's opinions and tastes change over the years. When I first saw this film I found it entertaining and funny. I was not expecting, after a 20 year gap, to find it again entertaining and funny, but it was! Contrast that to a recent rewatch of Monty Python and the Holy Grail. When I first saw that it was one of the funniest of all time. I couldn't lavish enough praise on it. Last week I found it tedious and borderline irritating. Prior to these two rewatches I would have bet the farm on the reverse being true. Concerned that my opinion of The Godfather might have eroded over time, I watched it again last week. How far did I get into it before the first lump in the throat, misty eyed moment? When the undertaker offers money to Don Corleone to avenge his daughter. So less than five minutes in. All is well with the world.

To Cassie: Have to watch “Young Frankenstein” much better Mel Brooks film.

Jon Hoover

She didn't like this, she's not going to like Blazing Saddles. I don't even like it and I'm of the correct age. Let's just stop recommending Mel Brooks films to somebody that doesn't like Mel Brooks style films.

Jon Hoover

I don't even like it, and I'm old. She had obviously doesn't like these silly movies. Let's just recommend movies she'll like.

Lamar Smith

You could be completely correct. She asked for a Mel Brooks movie. I take her at her word. This channel is to move her out of her comfort zone of chick flicks & rom coms according to her. In doing so, she’s discovered she likes many movies she was 100% sure she’d hate before seeing them (‘Fury Road’). She has positively hated other movies (‘Full Metal Jacket’), even going so far as to say “I’ll never watch this movie again” (‘Schindler’s List’) but that she felt it was important to see it. She claims, with quite justified pride, more than once to now be a cinephile. It would be a strange version of one of those to have never seen a movie you didn’t, personally, like.

The entire gag with Helmet and Sandurz watching the movie they are a part of is a great play on logic and paradoxes.

natalie St Clair

Mel brooks best film was Young Frankenstein! Brooks himself stated that Young Frankenstein was the best movie he ever did and if he made a thousand more movies none would be as great.

Joe M

If you want more Mel Brooks humor, 10 years before Space Balls, try Blazzing Saddles, History of the World part 1, and yes, Young Frankenstein.

John Hansen

Sorry, but I have to disagree. Spaceballs and all other Mel Brooks movies represent the golden age of cinema.
