I watched Spaceballs a second time yesterday because I thought there must be something to it. I didn't like it the first time and I hate it even more the second time I watched it. Maybe I just don't understand this movie. Is it too smart, too deep, too complicated? Is it funny because it is supposed to be bad? It was just plain awful, I couldn't stand keeping my eyes open. Kept thinking "please just press this stupid self-destruct-button already and be done with it." If I didn't watch it in the cinema (80ies special) with my friends, I would have stopped watching after half an hour. I was trying very hard to laugh at the "jokes". I just couldn't do it.
Instead of Jabba the Hut, his name was Pizza the Hut- OMG Yoda is Yoghurt- Jesus Comb the desert!- they are literally combing the desert- HAHAHAA May the Schwartz be with you- Is "Schwartz" suppose to mean something I don't get? Is it funny because it doesn't mean something? Is it funny because it sounds like "Schwanz"?
For me it is really important in a movie to have likable characters. In this movie I didn't care for any of them. Rick Moranis as Dark Helmet was a good choice for this roll though, but all the other characters should have a self-destruct-button to press.
