SpaceballsTHE REVIEW
Just when you thought meteors were the worst thing to worry about reaching the
Earth from outer space, they quickly become the least of your worries once you
learn about "Spaceballs."
A planet of idiots, Spaceballs as they are not-so-lovingly known, put the
spaced-out in outer space, and on their last unsuccessful venture, they have
managed to exhaust all the air on their miserable planet. Now in hopes of
stealing the air from the nearby planet of Druidia, they make plans (actually
they wing it) to capture the planet's Princess Vespa (Daphne Zuniga) and hold
her for ransom. However, one thing they never planned for was facing Lone Star
(Bill Pullman) and his faithful sidekick Barf (John Candy).
A wonderful spoof of sci-fi's greatest cosmic adventures, director/ producer/
writer and actor Mel Brooks gives us a first rate out-of-this-world comedy
adventure filled with wonderful laughs and great actors including Bill Pullman,
John Candy, Daphne Zuniga, Rick Moranis, Dick Van Patten, George Wyner as well
as the voice talents of Joan Rivers and Dom De Luise. A guaranteed good time,
this is one movie no sci-fi fan will want to miss adding to their collection.
