Featured Comments/Tips
Don't really have much to say on this other than it's a decent documentary. I wouldn't call myself a fan of Brooks yet, but his persona and humour have really grown on me since watching both Blazing Saddles and Spaceballs. Even more so after watching this. The runtime could have done without certain distasteful and unnecessary people. Otherwise, it was great hearing stories, both personal and public. I really do hope Brooks gets to see the success that will be Spaceballs 2: The Search for More Money.
