Awesome, stupendous comedy, I cannot fathom why people don't like Mel Brooks, is mind is, is great. I could speak of each of the individuals own comedy sense but will not, except Madeline Kahn,oh the women was really exceptional good, anyway great movie (watched at least half dozen times since the movie been out). People need to indulge themselves in the comedy of Mel Brooks mind, once he's gone he's gone, really enjoy his movies.
