Good concept, poorly executed.

Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.

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 is just a comedy, which is filled with jokes. The humor is dumb, but it is more or less funny. Charlize Theron is beutiful. The story is ok. This movie is just for a relaxed evening, but it does have a lot of dirty humor and deaths.

I'm actually a big Seth MacFarlane fan. I watched Family Guy religiously as a teenager and can quote that show for pretty much every ridiculous incident in my life.
I for some reason missed every movie of 2014 and am only watching them all now. I found this in the DVD bin at Walmart and decided to get it since I love Seth MacFarlane's humour.
It wasn't a bad movie. But it wasn't nearly as funny as the stuff I'm used to by him. It was also way to long for what it is.
I also used to watch My Name is Earl religiously, so was pretty disappointed by Giovianni Ribisi's character in this. And I overall dislike Sarah Silverman.
Anyway, movie wasn't awful, it just didn't live up to Seth MacFarlane's other works.

'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.
