Y'know what Seth MacFarlane is? He's a bully who thinks he's a victim. He casts himself here as a poor put-upon farmer, who is unfairly mistreated and dumped by a girlfriend despite the fact that he is sweet and kind and sensitive (or at least as sweet and kind and sensitive as man who makes occasional anti-Semitic jokes can be).
It would be one thing if MacFarlane used the regressive attitudes of the West to poke fun at bigots even a single time in this movie. But the West isn't a platform for satire here; it's an excuse to tell offensive jokes because "that's what people were like back then." MacFarlane's character hates the West, but I think MacFarlane himself…

Painfully unfunny. It was seriously a total struggle just to finish the damn movie. It really is THAT bad. Seth MacFarlane had self indulgence radiating off of him during the entire film.

It's easy to make me laugh. Just show me a feather and I'll already beg you to stop tickling me. Show me youtube clips of people falling on their asses and I'll have a riot. But most of all, put me in a theater where a comedy is playing, and no matter how bad it may be it will still make me laugh. It will probably take a few dozens of comedies seen in the theater before this magical effect wears off. Or maybe I'll always have a good time. That's why I'm going to see it, to have a good time, I'm going in ready to laugh and it's going to take a really bad comedy to make me…

When logging this film I considered pressing the heart icon and then I realized that not hating something isn't the same as liking it. The film has a few good laughs and is loaded with cool cameos but overall it's pretty bad.

Once upon a time in the West there was a Seth MacFarlane comedy that took the 3:10 to Yuma, but ended up in I've-seen-it-before-ville. A not-so-life-friendly place where a sheep herder inclined to shaking in his boots eventually finds his true grit, subduing foes, fears and f'd up hallucinations.
There's good, bad and ugly in this film. Mostly good, heavens be praised, but also a weak and predictable storyline that does like Sarah Silverman's character in the house of ill repute: blows like there's no tomorrow.
Laughs come in all shapes and sizes. Weird, revolting, brutal and occasionally hilarious. Like any episode of Family Guy, however, there's also a dominant chunk of miniscule chuckles and tumbleweeds rolling by as some…

The funniest joke in this film is that it is apparently meant to be a comedy, like fuck, God I bloody hate Seth MacFarlane...
Why did you have to do that small cameo Jamie? Why?

A million ways to die in west has a million tricks to make you laugh so hard. A good western comedy.

lmao at the critics writing dissertations on low-hanging fruit.
This is a pretty decent Western that goes by the book of the genre, allowing for a few fun gags - mostly because there are stars, and its a movie. The dialogue is lame, but Macfarlane and Theron make it charming. A... the West doesn't seem to know what to do with itself, or where to go, so it indulges in setpieces that lack purpose, asides lacking in punchlines and plot that doesn't support character.
Seth Macfarlane is misunderstood. He's multi-talented as a writer, singer, comic and actor. Yeah, he sucked at the Oscars, but that's your fault for watching the Oscars. He isn't especially offensive or evil, and he puts sincerity in his work. I hope to see him develop, and not Kevin Smith the crap out by shitposting for 10 movies in a row.

Crass, pointless, self-indulgent and terribly devoid of the wit it thinks it has. To avoid at all cost. Oh and it's racist, big time.

I've seen your reviews of this and honestly, I think you're giving it a bad rap. It is a juvenile film and Seth's jokes are pretty inconsistent but the ones that did land did so with aplomb. In particular I enjoyed the cameos, at one point having to rewind to see if a person was who I thought it was and the time travel one was amazing.
Seth's problem is he feels the need to litter the film with 'gross out' humour, which it just didn't need at all. Who needed to see the sheep's dick?
Ultimately I stuck this on because my wife had been having a hard day and I wanted something easy that would make her laugh. So; job done. Tonight and tomorrow I'll tackle something more meaningful. Or probably Home Alone because it's Christmas.
