There are a lot of 'comedies' made with the promise that it is hilarious and will make you laugh out loud. Only a handfull of them actually achieve this. Blazing Saddles is one of them.

Mel Brooks is the master of dealing with prejudice and bigotry by exposing them for what they are using humour and holding them up to ridicule.

It doesn't matter that the plot, such as it is, is sporadic and towards the end it almost falls apart just enjoy all the gags but be careful not to blink or you might miss one it's so full of them.

This has to be Mel Brooks' finest comedy. However in this day and age it is highly unpolitically correct, that being said it is told in a period of American history where the use of the deroatory terms would have been commonplace. Anyway, whatever, the fact is this is one of the funniest films of all time and if you like comedy's; you'll love this.
