Blazing Saddles (R, 1974)

Only reason that it is rated R is language. No F-bombs but a lot of the "n" word. A few s words, but otherwise nothing is bad. This is an okay movie if your kids understand not to use the "n" word.

This movie is rated R for one reason: Language. Swearing is constant and the sherrif is not liked in the beginning since he is african american but his heroic actions in stopping rustlers from destroying the town really made the people grow on him. Sadly, in the end, he leaves to help other towns. The n-word is used often since it is in an early time where there was slavery. The only real problem is language. Violence is slapstick like when everyone was joining the fight into the hollywood studios. People drink at the saloon and the waco kid (Gene wilder) is a heavy drinker who befriends the sherrif. I really liked it. good for 14+ due to its frequent swearing and racial slurs

Very very funny. A little fun fact: Blazing Saddles was the first movie to have farts, and when it first in theaters they made it silent so all you see was 10 cowboys randomly getting up around a campfire.

Violence (G): All cartoon'ish slapstick. Sexual Content (PG-13): Lili seduces Bart, swiping a look at his trouser snake. Language (R): plenty of f--k, s--t, and n----r. Drugs/Tobacco/Alchohol (G): Bart and Waco swipe some beers at a saloon, Waco used to be a drunco, but cleans himself up.

Unbelievable! Hilarious simply does not do this film justice! It is the funniest, best, western spoof movie you'll ever see! It's only bad because they say the 'N' word a lot. But they're doing this to make fun of the sheriff, who is black. Most of the innapropriote stuff is for humorous purposes. I'd let anyone 9+ see it!

Watch with the kids and be ready to explain that Brooks is poking fun at racists and showing them up to be idiots. This movie provides a great vehicle to discuss satire with your kids and how satire can be used to make social commentary. That said dont forget this is a truly funny comedy in the best Brooks tradition.
