Review of A Million Ways to Die in the West (2014)

By Laura Clifford (2,742) for Reeling Reviews (4,376) on 28 May 2014

The film's most inventive running gag involves what must be a MacFarlane obsession with the classic stiff subjects of Old West photographs…

Review of A Million Ways to Die in the West (2014)

By Mike Mccahill (552) for Guardian (4,584) on 28 May 2014

Spiritually, it's closer to a mid-range crowd-pleaser such as City Slickers than Blazing Saddles, too enamoured of genre convention to reach…

Review of A Million Ways to Die in the West (2014)

By Brian Orndorf (4,059) for Blu-ray.com (2,093) on 28 May 2014

Plays directly to MacFarlane's fascination with poo-poo, pee-pee humor, without ever moving beyond the basics of sophomoric gags to transform…

Review of A Million Ways to Die in the West (2014)

By Soren Andersen (496) for Seattle Times (3,524) on 28 May 2014

What's to hate? Let me count the ways. The laziness of the writing. The numbing overreliance on poop and pee jokes…

Review of A Million Ways to Die in the West (2014)

By Josh Bell (1,421) for Las Vegas Weekly (1,340) on 28 May 2014

MacFarlane has upped his cinematic ambitions, but he's failed to improve his joke-crafting, his narrative sense or his acting…

Review of A Million Ways to Die in the West (2014)

By Michael O'sullivan (1,712) for Washington Post (9,851) on 28 May 2014

The real problem with A Million Ways to Die in the West is one of editing. There are a million jokes in it, but only 500,000 of them are funny…

Review of A Million Ways to Die in the West (2014)

By Dann Gire (642) for Chicago Daily Herald (649) on 28 May 2014

MacFarlane gets away with comic murder in A Million Ways to Die, and he does it by being a little bit naughty and a little bit raunchy…

Review of A Million Ways to Die in the West (2014)

By Rafer Guzman (1,080) for Newsday (2,345) on 28 May 2014

It's another example of MacFarlane's ability to mix poop jokes with romance, foul language with sweet sentiment, offensive humor with boyish charm…

Review of A Million Ways to Die in the West (2014)

By Joe Morgenstern (2,395) for Wall Street Journal (3,071) on 28 May 2014

Some of it sputters, settling for smiles instead of laughs, and much of it flounders while the slapdash script searches, at exhausting length,…

Review of A Million Ways to Die in the West (2014)

By Matthew Lickona (530) for San Diego Reader (713) on 28 May 2014

Importation of modern sensibilities into olden times is the gimmick, but now and then, MacFarlane forgets himself and just has fun…

Review of A Million Ways to Die in the West (2014)

By Jon Niccum (520) for Kansas City Star (1,573) on 28 May 2014

What helps the picture work - and makes some of the unnecessarily graphic bits easier to forgive - is the interaction between the two leads…

Review of A Million Ways to Die in the West (2014)

By Andrew O'hehir (1,324) for Salon.com (2,725) on 28 May 2014

While the whole thing feels weirdly miscalculated to me, A Million Ways to Die in the West tweaks the formula just enough, delivers a few laughs…

Review of A Million Ways to Die in the West (2014)

By Tim Robey (1,578) for Daily Telegraph (UK) (2,495) on 28 May 2014

MacFarlane’s making no effort to push the envelope, which is something of a relief, but nor is he winning anyone around to his increasingly…

Review of A Million Ways to Die in the West (2014)

By Rene Rodriguez (1,781) for Miami Herald (3,319) on 28 May 2014

The things that stay with you are the dull, boilerplate love story, the laziest performance of Liam Neeson’s career as a murderous gunslinger…

Review of A Million Ways to Die in the West (2014)

By Brad Keefe (343) for Columbus Alive (355) on 28 May 2014

Is this the next Blazing Saddles? No. But there are enough silly laughs sprinkled throughout if you're into this brand of comedy…

Review of A Million Ways to Die in the West (2014)

By Lewis Bazley (42) for Sky Cinema (1,726) on 28 May 2014

This comedy hits the target just enough to find box office gold in them thar hills…

Review of A Million Ways to Die in the West (2014)

By Michael Phillips (2,622) for Chicago Tribune (6,211) on 28 May 2014

Plenty of comedies aren't funny, but this one is more than that. It's wholeheartedly narcissistic in its portrait of male petulance and self-pity…

Review of A Million Ways to Die in the West (2014)

By Graham Killeen (120) for Milwaukee Journal Sentinel (1,693) on 28 May 2014

Jumbling frat-house humor with nostalgic period sets and costumes is like writing a punchline to a Frederic Remington painting. Only less hilarious…

By Jason Zingale (478) for Bullz-Eye.com (1,091) on 28 May 2014

A Million Ways to Die in the West is guaranteed to divide audiences, but it's a really solid comedy with more than enough laughs to offset…

Review of A Million Ways to Die in the West (2014)

By Matt Looker (202) for TheShiznit.co.uk (506) on 28 May 2014
