Review of A Million Ways to Die in the West (2014) by Dc E — 26 Jan 2015
"A Million Ways to Die in the West" 10 Scale Rating: 1.5 (Awful) ...
The Good: I might have chuckled once or twice. Otherwise, the film's only saving grace was the supporting cast. Liam Neeson was especially strong, hamming it up as the film's antagonist.
The Bad: Hopefully, Seth MacFarlane now realizes that he just doesn't have the on-camera charisma to carry a film. In this particular vanity project, MacFarlane was unlikeable, unfunny, and even seemed out of place in his own movie. The overwhelming majority of his gags and one-liners fall flat and he comes across as a wannabe comedian in high school trying to wow his class with zingers. The film wasn't going to be great anyway, but MacFarlane makes it much MUCH worse. His schtick only seems to really work on TV's "Family Guy" (and to a MUCH lesser extent the film "Ted") and just doesn't translate well. One of the worst films of 2014.
