Blazing Saddles

in the published movie Blazing Saddles Roger Ebert makes the following arguments:

*"Meanwhile ... but what am I saying, meanwhile? Meanwhile, six dozen other things happen"

*"it doesn't have a lot of classy polish and its structure is a total mess."

*"The story line, which is pretty shaky"

*"It's a crazed grab-bag of a movie that does everything to keep us laughing except hit us over the head with a rubber chicken."
