Spaceballs – A Movie A Day #90
Spaceballs – A Movie A Day #90
This was my best friend’s choice for his birthday movie, so I watched this with him and his wife. I hadn’t seen Spaceballs in a long, long time, so it was definitely a fun time. I remembered a few things while watching (specifically, I remembered Michael Winslow’s scene and lots of Rick Moranis’s lines), but a lot of the movie felt new to me it’d been so long since I’d seen it. Of course I loved it.
I don’t think I really need to explain Spaceballs to anyone. I’m sure you know what it is and what it’s about. If you don’t know, it’s a spoof of Star Wars and other sci-fi and fantasy movies, and it stars some of the greats of comedy cinema. It definitely made me want to binge John Candy and Rick Moranis movies.
I’ll admit to not being a huge fan of many spoof movies. Mostly though, it’s the modern ones that I can’t really stand. Things like Scary Movie and Superhero Movie I just have zero interest in. But I grew up on things like Naked Gun and Airplane. I suppose I’m pretty particular about comedy. I know I am. Spaceballs absolutely works for me though. I shouldn’t wait so long to watch it again.
