Hot on the heels of the most hilarious "Ted" MacFarlane throws out a western comedy. I think MacFarlane had experienced so much fan support in all his projects by this point that he thought he was immune to failure. There's one or two good jokes, like the guy getting crushed by the giant ice cube, but it's just not up to his standard. Not to mention that MacFarlane has a good voice, but the guy looks kinda funny and doesn't lend himself to live acting very well.

One day, I microwaved a Philly cheese steak flavored Hot Pocket® and took a bite before it sufficiently cooled. As a result, I burned my tongue and found I couldn't taste anything. Fortunately, the timing was perfect because my brother wanted to watch "A Million Ways to Die in the West". Since it would be a few hours before I could appreciate good taste again, I joined him.

I don't find Seth MacFarlane funny. But at least he's trying, and his humor is juvenile but never mean-spirited or dumbing as is the case with certain other comedic "auteurs" (Adam Sandler et al). The plot structure is terrible (if at all) and the result is a 2 hour film that feels 1 hour too long. Fans of MacFarlane's other work will probably enjoy this. I'm not and I didn't. Fair play to him though. I have a soft spot for westerns so I was able to not hate this film.

A Million Ways to Die in the West has very little plot, very little in terms of characters, and is very rarely funny. It has a couple of good gags and jokes, but for most of its absurdly long running time, it's boring and unfunny. The only character that gets anything to do is our lead, but he's played by the worst actor in the cast. The cameos are funny and some of the potshots the film takes at Westerns are clever, but there are about 15 minutes of good film in this 116-minute endeavor.

A couple of painfully forced cameos and the toilet humour really bring the film down. Also, Seth McFarlane isn't much of a live-action actor. He should stick to voice acting. At least Charlize Theron still looks stunning...

Certainly no masterpiece but I don't understand the vitriol for this film. I would assume people seeing the film would know who Seth MacFarlane is , and his style of humor, but apparently not. For those that are familiar and enjoy it, you will most likely be entertained. The strange mix of observational humor, pop culture and lowbrow comedy works well at times. It is a bit overlong and a few of the jokes fall flat but I laughed fairly often.

Blah. Seth has this habit of working on extremes. Sometimes he takes it too far and it reeks of trying too hard. Unfortunately, while Ted worked well because of this, A Million Ways was hard to sit through, watching them try to push the envelope over and over again just got tiring. The writing was just not solid, the jokes were not setup well, and even the delivery was just cheesy and stupid sometimes. There were a few laughs, but not even Liam Neeson's butt could save this.

Four-fifths of the way through the movie Seth MacFarlane is hiding from the bad guys by lying down amidst his sheep herd. He looks up and watches as a sheep's penis pisses all over his face. This is a metaphor. His face is the audience, the piss is the movie, and Seth MacFarlane is the sheep's penis.

It's not always funny and he throws a lot of stuff at the wall hoping it will stick but I definitely got more laughs than not. It obviously helps if you are a fan of MacFarlane's humor (which many outspoken people seem to not be). The bar fight scene had me in stitches.

MacFarlene is certainly no leading man. His large, round, overly smooth face is a deeply unpleasant watch, particuarly in combination with his rudimentary acting ability. In a movie that's a good 20 minutes too long this is only amplified! The story and structure of the film itself is scattershot and uneven, and many jokes (but not all I will admit) fall flat, and worse some reek of a desperation to find a laugh. That said I didn't hate it, I just don't want to see it ever again.

I'd seen the poor reviews for this, but I love toilet humor and thought "BASEketball got canned by reviewers too, and that was fucking hilarious", so I decided to see it on a whim. Well....I wish I hadn't. It's not offensively horrible, it's just a bland motherfucker of a movie. I'm a pretty easy mark as far as laughs go, and I wasn't laughing hysterically at any point in this flick. I don't expect tons from Seth McFarlane, but this is still a disappointment. Very very generic.

The point of doing a comedy is to make people laugh! The more you laugh the better the comedy is. I don't think anything else matters really. Sure the story was stupid and not all the jokes were good but the fact that i laughed out loud more then 10 times makes this a pretty funny movie. Macfarlane is a funny guy! I actually said to my gf at the very end: here comes Jamie fox before I saw his face!

The last twenty minutes actually weren't all that bad. It's a shame about the 96 minutes before that. MacFarlane is a competent director, but he's not a competent leading actor. Especially when so much of his dialogue is stilted, "Family Guy"-esque speeches. Otherwise, you can see why some of this stuff SHOULD be funny, but the writing style and the underwhelming cast can't sell a joke to save their lives.

A lot better than I thought it'd be, but I thought it'd be really bad. Really uneven and could've stood to lose a half hour or so, but I actually enjoyed some parts. It swished between really clever and Family Guy. And I actually think MacFarlane is a good performer when he has good material, so he was hit-or-miss-or-big-miss.

I expected this to be bad, but not quite as tedious as it was. It just isn't funny. Mostly it's incredibly obvious stuff I've seen countless times before, or juvenile toilet humour. The characters aren't interesting at all and the story's incredibly predictable and conventional, too. There are several great actors in the cast, but they're all wasted in this. It's way longer than it needs to be - it drags on forever. Pretty much a waste of time, and lazy work from MacFarlane.

Wonderful western homage shot through with MacFarlane's signature brand of shamelessly tasteless and pop-culture obssessed humour; if you're on its wavelength there is plenty of raucous fun to be had, starting with some brilliantly inspired scene stealing from Harris (his big payoff scene a flawless example of scatalogical humour) and a good-sport cast (though Neeson's disappearance in Act 2 is an odd structural anomoly). Some beautifully staged establishing shots hark back to Ford at his best.

It's stupid, but it's also the kind of movie you just need to watch drunk with a friend. It doesn't have any high motion picture merits and the jokes are cheap, but I don't know what else people could be expecting from a movie like this. I also learned I don't like Seth MacFarlane as an actor.

I thought near the beginning of the film that this would go in a direction somewhat like Idiocracy, in which our main character would be the only one to understand the absurdities of the society and that would result in absurd humor. Instead, I got a badly edited, by-the-numbers romcom except with Family Guy-style non sequiturs.

As someone who really wasn't a fan of Ted, I'm not sure why I thought I'd like this any better. I'm not a huge fan of live-action McFarlane and the whole thing felt like a long, Westernized episode of Family Guy. That brings merits and downfalls but mostly downfalls. I guess I just wanted more out of something I knew could'nt deliver

It's not devoid of a bunch of hit-and-miss jokes or the obligatory quality dip/ dose of cheesiness towards the end, but "A Million Ways to Die in the West" hits the spot more often than not, and uproariously so. The laughs-per-minute ratio is pretty high for at least two-thirds of the movie, the cast is great and the anachronistic take on the Wild West works wonders, giving the story a charming personality of its own. Highly enjoyable stuff.

I just don't buy this kind of humour. Nothing improved from Ted. Too much room for Seth himself and he's not even funny. Well, at least he's got a good chemistry with Charlize. And Liam was a baddie for the first time. And it was shot in Monument Valley. And Ewan McGregor and Jamie Foxx've got roles with line. Hata na mila kunis.

Probably only about 9 ways to die in the west... This film has a fun title, but I was a little underwhelmed by the whole experience. First off, I think Seth MacFarlane should stick to voice-acting. He just doesn't have the whole acting thing down. Within the first few minutes of the film, I found myself cringing when MacFarlane was trying to show his "I love you face" to Amada Seyfried and it looked like he was having stomach trouble ala Kristen Stewart...

Everyone associated with this movie should be ashamed of themselves for being apart of this garbage! None of the jokes hit the mark and the story is so drawn out its incredibly boring. There are no laugh out loud moments at all but It does feel like the cast had fun making it. Its such a shame the content doesn't match their enjoyment. Visually though this film looks stunning which is the only redeeming quality.

A couple guffaws, a smattering of chuckles, and Charlize certainly sells it, but mainly this offers sniggering bro-humor that slaps you on the back, pokes you in the ribs, and laughs at how funny it thinks it is. Also, there are long, odd stretches where it seems to think it's a legitimate Western, which...no, Seth. It's not actively annoying, but it's not any good, either, and the audience I saw it with was pretty silent throughout.

I liked it! It wasn't as funny as "Ted" was for me but the stuff that worked, worked really well. I'm something of a fatalist with Seth MacFarlane; he will go to ridiculous lengths to get laughs, and sometimes I love him for it, but sometimes it all just smacks of way too much effort. Some of the cameos were spectacular; I lost it upon seeing who played Abraham Lincoln, and the appearance of a certain gun-slinging exploitation-film icon just before the credits. In my opinion, it's worth a watch.

There's a general sense of cheeriness at play, often incongruously. But the pic ends up as nothing more than a steady stream of puerile fart and defecation gags, sheep penis close-ups, not-exactly-true-to-the-period cussing, wince-worthy racial slurs and salacious sexual guffaws. Kudos are kicked over in the direction of drug and alcohol abuse, and general gross-out images include a string of deaths that begin with a giant block of ice gorily pulping an unfortunate guy's mug.

It's certainly not without a handful of funny gags and lines, though it just plain ran out of energy for me by the end. I felt its 116-minute runtime. If you handed it to a skilled editor and had them produce an 85-minute version, it might be pretty good.

First time round I switched off after 10 mins, not being a big fan of MacFarlane's work. But on a second attempt to watch (with a few beers) it kinda clicked for me. His humour may be low-brow, but it's never cruel or mean-spirited. There's some genuinely funny cameos and pastiche of Western movies among a lot of hit-and-miss humour. Removing the stuff that fell flat and reducing the runtime by 30 mins could have made this a great comedy rather than an average one.

"A Million Ways to Rip Off Other Movies While Still Pretending to Be Original" was a bit of a long title, so they changed it. The movie is basically one big cliche. It's its strength and its weakness. A tour de force in pop cultural stereotypes and jokes. You either love it or you hate it. It has some genuine funny moments, but it never really rises above the heh-yeah-we-would-be-fucked-in-the-west-kind-of-humor. It speaks to the dumb guy in all of us, so I'm sure it will be a huge success.

Seth MacFarlane was unsatisfying. The nonstop stupid gags and pratfalls are alternately amusing and annoying. A few inspired moments. Characters are over the top and unconvincing. Even the excellent actors, Charlize Theron, Liam Neeson and Amanda Seyfried are hamstrung by their roles. The writing is childish, immature and tiresome. I frequently found myself chuckling, but there were few laugh out loud moments. Many points are for the talented and gorgeous Charlize Theron.

I gotta say that the mass hatred for this flick kind of mystifies me. I generally do not like Seth MacFarlane and expected to dislike this due to massive critical dump levelled against it. I sort of like it. McFarlane landed about 60% of the jokes in this film for me. That's hardly comic gold, but it's not a disaster either. I frequently laughed. I also frequently didn't. I'm okay with that. It entertained me.

At first it was so unfunny, I was spending most of my time picturing Brian Griffin from Family Guy speaking MacFarlane's lines. About mid-way through, despite its corniness, it grew on me a little, and even got a few cheap chuckles out of me. It was kind of refreshing seeing Liam Neeson in the role of a villain.
