It's the best [director] Brooks has ever offered his audience.

...may look like a Western, but in actuality it takes place in just another corner of Mel Brooks' mad brain.

Kids may not get all of Brooks' Old West parody.

A movie that neither blazes or misfires, falling somewhere between the horrors of Spaceballs and the genius of Young Frankenstein.

The screenplay is credited to five writers, and it shows in the confused melange of styles.

Its genius, then and now, was the manner in which director Mel Brooks and his writers turned a broad Western spoof into what was, for its time, a revolutionary satire of race relations.

It's a crazed grabbag of a movie that does everything to keep us laughing except hit us over the head with a rubber chicken.

One of the funniest awful movies ever made.

This all-singing, all-belching western spoof remains one of Mel Brooks's finest creations.

Although Cleavon Little and Gene Wilder head a uniformly competent cast, pic is handily stolen by Harvey Korman and Madeline Kahn. Kahn is simply terrific doing a Marlene Dietrich lampoon.

Blazing Saddles has no dominant personality, and it looks as if it includes every gag thought up in every story conference. Whether good, bad, or mild, nothing was thrown out.

Goldarned if the whole fool enterprise is not worth the attention of any moviegoer with a penchant for what one actor, commenting on another's Gabby Hayes imitation, calls 'authentic western gibberish.'
