A Million Ways to Die in the West is a good movie with a well written storyline and an outstanding comedic cast. This movie is getting a lot of negative reviews that I don't think it deserves, it may not be Seth MacFarlane's finest work, but he took on a risky project that I think he did a great job with for the most part. The western area looks beautiful and MacFarlane did a great job acting, this being the first film where he plays a character that he does not simply voice, he came across as very confident, hopefully this is not his last live action film role. It did certainly have its flaws, though I found a lot of the film hilarious, some of the humour was lame and immature, such as comstant references to the rarity of a dollar or prostitution, a sequence where Neil Patrick Harris deficates and a lot of death, there were definitely bits that felt unnecessary, that the movie would have been better off without. A lot of aspects to Albert Stark's character were underdeveloped, I think they could have scoped it more, such as his job as a sheep herder, his complicated relationship with his parents and the reason as to why he lives in fear, helping the audience know about the character's life would have let us relate to him more. A Million Ways to Die in the West is an enjoyable and funny movie, fans of MacFarlane's previous work, such as Family Guy, American Dad and Ted should definitely check it out, I would recommend it to anyone looking for a good comedy.
A man who is terrified of living in the Wild West must face his fears when a vicious gunslinger arrives to town to get his wife back and battle the man who has been seeing her.
