It is not the type of western you would expect it to be. But, then again you wouldn't be surprised given that Mel Brooks did it. A town gets a new sheriff and they are not too happy. But in the end, they do not want him to go. It is a good comedy and is funny.

Yes but I was startled by the use of the "n" word in the trailer. From what I've read about Mel Brooks and his films racial epithets were a part of the humor in many of his movies which I admit I could do without.

I've always admired Mel Brooks' films and I've found his films generally very funny, with the exception of the occasional racial epithet.
