A Million Ways to Die in the West is Seth MacFarlane's latest attempt at a feature length film since Ted. The result: a million crude and rude jokes. Don't get me wrong, the movie made me laugh quite a bit. But instead of enjoying that laughter for the sake of a good joke, I felt bad for letting myself laugh at such crude and tasteless jokes.
Watching renowned actors Liam Neeson and Charlize Theron in such a crude film tampered my respect for them. The roles they played could easily have been taken by lesser actors. If these two stooped to roles so beneath them, it's a bad sign for their careers. I guess that comes as no surprise given the veteran Neeson's roles in a slew of mindless action films.
I guess once you get over yourself (as I should when I watch films like this), it is an entertaining comedy set in the west that does not require nor deserve a second thought. Conclusion: Pass On It
Rating: 6/10
