Review of A Million Ways to Die in the West (2014) by Moviemitch96 — 31 May 2014
Yes it has more fart and poop humor in it than I can really handle. Yes it's a bit long for a comedy (nearly 2 hours.) And yes it lacks the smart comedic timing and charm that Seth MacFarlane nailed in Ted.
Did I still enjoy this film? Yes I did! I had a lot of fun watching it, because I went in not expecting too much from it, just as I did with Ted. MacFarlane definitely has his moments in this. However, there were a few times when watching him that made me miss him as the foulmouthed teddy bear in his previous film.
The supporting cast also did well for the most part. Giovanni Ribisi was pretty funny as usual. Charlize Theron also provided some funny moments. Sarah Silverman felt a bit underwhelming, as did Amanda Seyfried.
Neil Patrick Harris's stereotypical gentleman character managed to make me laugh (and his crazy mustache.) And lastly, Liam Neeson unfortunately also felt underwhelming as the villain. One thing I also enjoyed was a few unexpected cameos throughout as well as at the very end.
Overall, it's a step down from Ted, but it still made me laugh out loud several times, and at the end of the day, that's all I really care about.
