A Million Ways to Die in the West (2014)

Must See Movie...

I don't have all the words right now but this film is a work of art.

It is interesting even when nothing much happens, which is for most of its 3-hour running time. Read full review

A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.

I'm a bit confused over the hate for this movie. Yes it's juvenile and a bit gross and the humour sometimes misfires - it's Seth MacFarlane folks, it is what it is! I personally don't usually like this kind of humour but my Dad was a massive western fan and I watched it because of that and loved the tongue in cheek references/send up of the genre. There are lots of fun moments for anyone who remembers those old westerns, there are lots of silly jokes, a good soundtrack, amusing cameos and the cast are clearly having a great time. It's a thoroughly enjoyable movie overall as long as you don't expect it to be Shakespeare.

This film was totally unexpected as it was just something to watch that came on whilst I was writing. Less than a minute into the film I was bellylaughing and everything else stopped and I sat down and watched it with no interruptions! I came in to review because I saw on some sites it was been unfairly reviewed. Yes, having read some of the wrong era bloops, so what?! I didn't even notice and just watched it for the comedy it is. It works, it all works, especially if you just watch and enjoy! Seth's acting was excellent! The wit is just constant and flowing and is as fast and rat a tat tat as any gun in the west!! I loved this so I saved it. And I even downloaded the sountrack as I can listen to some of the songs that really made me bellylaugh out loud, especially the theme song! The Moustache song was as good as any I've heard on a West End Musical Stage. Settle yourself down for a night in and go watch! You won't regret it!!

I like this movie, it isn't the best movie in the world as i hope that you guys know. But you shouldn't watch this movie as a critic, you should watch this movie as a fun comedy. The movie has flawes and the storytelling is not the best, but the characters are fun and relatable and the actors a great in thier rolls and you can see that they have fun shooting this movie.I recommend this movie if you want to see a fun comedy. My recommended age for full enjoyment is 15-25 y.

'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.
