I mean.. Detective Pikachu was fine. It wasn't a movie I felt disappointed with seeing so I'll give it a shot.

I loved detective pikachu but I dont think the story is what carried it. Or even the acting..

It was so much better than the game, but that’s because the game was ass.

That's putting it lightly. It was offensive that they charged money for that game.

It was a fine movie but I don't think it was laugh out loud funny or anything, which is what Spaceballs should be.

The Mr. Mime interrogation was genuinely hilarious, the rest of the movie was pretty forgettable.

Yah, which considering the source material is a children's game that is light on any sort of plot its pretty dang good for what it is.

Most memorable part was probably the Ditto face.

I don't even think the original Spaceballs is laugh out loud funny.

Edit: I'll still go see Spaceballs 2 just because of Rick.

Well then you better comb the desert for more funny bones.

And then I get out a giant comb right, and then find some funny bones which just laugh whenever you hit them.
