A Million Ways to Die in the West

Crass. Funny. Rude. Hilarious. Offensive. All these words have been used to describe Seth MacFarlane, creator of Family Guy, Ted, and the controversial host of the 85th Academy Awards. Now he has released his second live action feature film (this time with him starring) After years of the same type of productions can we honestly expect anything different?



The American West in 1882 must have sucked. As the title suggests there was a whole lot of ways to die. Albert Stark just wants to be left alone on his sheep farm and live his life happily ever after with the girl of his dreams Louise. But then Louise breaks up with him after Albert refuses to get into a gunfight with another man and sends him into a deep depression. Now though there is a new girl in town, Anna. Albert, not knowing Anna is the wife of dreaded outlaw Clinch Leatherwood, befriends her. Add Clinch Leatherwood to that list of things that will kill you...


A Million Ways offers a glimpse into the west quite unlike any other before it. The movie is full of surprising and hilarious cameos. Any of first five words of this review could be used to sum up this movie and like I said, by now we should know what we are getting with a MacFarlane production. You will laugh, I guarantee it (I especially lost all control of my laughter during the Indian induced drug trip) but you also might find to many jokes revolving around body parts, fluids, and functions.
