You want unabashed praise? I'm going to say its one of my favorite joke-a-minute comedies, right up there with Airplane!

Another criticism, I noticed how long the movie is while watching, even without the podrace. I think maybe the going through the planet core stuff could go. Either have the Jedi leave Boss Nass and next time you see them have them attacking the droids around the Queen, or have the Bongo leave the city (either having the first sequence or not) then pop up in the middle of the city. A lot of the reversed shots and "Ignore the things happening out the window" parts are in this one sequence. I think it might work alright without it.
