SPACEBALLS

On of my favorite movies is Spaceballs It doesn't neccisarily have my favorite actors or actresses in it but the odd humor in the movie makes me laugh. A few of the big names in the movie are Mel Brooks, John Candy,Rick Moranis, and Bill Pullman. The movie takes place in space and many strange planets. In the movie Dark Helmet attempts to steal air from another planet. It is up to a clueless rogue, a princess, and a half man half dog creature to save planet Druidia.
The movie is a mix of humor and suspense. It contiuously keeps you at the edge of your seat wondering if something extremely strange is going to pop out of someones stomach or if another strange character like pizza face or the bearded lady is going to come into play. It mixes dumb humor and things that are actually funny in a genius blend of comedy. They use extremely odd and outrageous names for everyone.
The main hook is making fun of science fiction movies. Spaceballs really takes a poke at Star Wars. One of the main characters is the Dark Helmet, which clearly makes fun of Darth Vader. The Druid princess is meant to be Princess Laya. They make a crack at her by showing her in the famous braids around the ears, but they soon come off and you realize that they are headphones. I could go into detail more on how, however i'm not a Star Wars fan and have never seen a single episode.
There are so many funny parts of this movie but my favorite would have to be when the evil powers are trying to watch the movie to find out what is going to happen next. They get to the part of actual time and get all confused. It is a part in which is hard to understand unless you actually see it. This movie is for people with a strange and pretty much stupid sense of humor, which is exactly what I love about it.
