A Million Ways to Die in the West
Dir: Seth MacFarlane
2014
***
My star rating is based on the performances and the inclusion of what might be my favorite ever cameo. Seth MacFarlane's performance however, is what I really disliked. The script, delivery and very inclusion of him drags the film down, a good director would have realised this and cast someone else. It's such a shame really as a good comedy Western is long overdue, A Million Ways to Die in the West comes close but much of the written comedy is terrible, leaving just the physical comedy and the naturally funny people with all the hard work. There is a lot to like about it, take out Seth MacFarlane and it's great, it's just a shame it came from him and not someone funnier. That cameo is awesome though, although they missed a trick not having Sarah Silverman's prostitute character sleep with Matt Damon.
