jawneyfloros Director: Seth MacFarlane Screenplay: Seth MacFarlane, Alec Sulkin and Wellesley Wild Cat: Seth MacFarlane, Charlize Theron, Amanda Seyfried, Neil Patrick Harris and Giovanni Ribisi Plot: In 1882 a sheep hearder loses his girlfriend to the local mustache guy and tries to win her back. Review: I hated this movie because it can't decide if it wants to be a modern update of Blazing Saddles or Seth MacFarlane does the wild west, either way this was a horrible movie. The direction and screenplay are horrible. The casting and acting are absolutely horrible. All in all I would give this zero out of a possible five stars.

castlepsaint-74051 Cant believe this only got 6.1 as it is one of the funniest films I have seen in a long while. Maybe it just worked with my sense of humour.

Gavin Purtell 'A Million Ways to Die in the West' certainly delivers on what the title promises! For a comedy, there's a lot of death - so much so that it's basically smashing the point over our heads. Set in 1882 Arizona, it's a story about Albert (MacFarlane), wallowing in his sheep farming life on the "frontier". It gets better when Anna (Theron) comes along, but there are complications when Clinch (Neeson) arrives. Basically, there's a few Western elements - plenty of shorts of New Mexico/Utah filling in for old Arizona, some tumbleweed and gun duels - but the way MacFarlane talks and acts makes it feel modern (and sometimes as if you're watching 'Family Guy').There are some pretty funny/oddly short cameos - Christopher Lloyd, Ewan McGregor, Ryan Reynolds & Jamie Foxx - whether they add to the humour or detract is up for debate. There's really not much to the story, and it's pretty predictable, so it's surprising that it goes for almost two hours. Plenty of toilet humour, which can be a good thing in small does, but probably goes a little overboard. The main problem is that while there's plenty of good jokes, they're too much like a sitcom and are unable to sustain the plot and sometimes fall flat.'A Million Ways to Die in the West' is not a bad follow-up to 'Ted', but you can't help but feel that MacFarlane bit off more than he could chew here, being star, writer, director and producer. Neil Patrick Harris just plays an unlikeable version of Barney, but the film's main saving grace is Theron, who's funny and charming, as well as Sarah Silverman & Giovanni Ribsi's relationship.

TownRootGuy What else is there to say? It's not like his shows have range, they're always low-brow comedies.It has an excellent cast, great eye candy AND you could laugh yourself to death.This is a must see for MacFarlane fans and a total pass for cinematic snobs. I can watch this every 2 or 3 years.
