Cinematic summer in Mother's Backyard continues with Spaceballs (1987), Mel Brooks's sendup of an obscure 1977, space opera that is today remembered only by obscure academics and back-row-of-the-web obsessives.'Star Wars' gets the quintessential Mel Brooks treatment: every frame of the movie stuffed with jokes, gags, yuks, and shtick.High brow? Hardly Rated PG for generally sophomoric (and timelessly funny) innuendos. [Mother's Brewery]
Tickets are $6 at the gate. Bring camp chairs or blankets for maximum movie-going comfort. A food truck will be on hand. Show starts at sundown, so check your almanac.

"Full of love, Spaceballs is full of laughs."
— Mike Clark, USA Today
"Spaceballs has the happy air of a comic enterprise that knows it's going right. It just keeps spritzing the gags at us, Borscht Belt-style, confidently and rightly sensing that if we don't laugh at this one, we'll laugh at the next. And so we do."
— Jay Carr, Boston Globe
