Below you will find a temporary review for this film. The real (better, more complete) review will be online very soon.
'Blazing Saddles' is a Mel Brooks comedy from the same year as 'Young Frankenstein', probably his best movie. In my opinion 'Blazing Saddles' was funnier. The story is not really the point here so let's not focus on that. The jokes sometimes are a little corny but in the right mood they are very funny as well. The performances, especially Gene Wilder, Madeline Kahn and Mel Brooks himself, are hilarious. A great classic comedy.
