Cinematic summer in your Mother’s Backyard continues with 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. But if you don’t lol at least once, then maybe comedy just isn’t your bag.
