I came back from seeing "A million ways to die in the west'' with my brother and a few of his friends. I'll be completely honest. I didn't laugh throughout the film. I won't spoil the film for everyone, but I will say this. The film tried too hard to be a western, it was venturing off into a completely different direction and didn't stay put in the western genre. I know that its a comedy, but I wasn't laughing throughout the entire film.
Most of the jokes felt like rejected jokes/used jokes from previous Family Guy episodes(I am aware Seth macfarlane did this people. So don't point that out please). I liked the acting from everyone else except for Seth's character, and that was just about it. If your going to do a western. Either do a straight up western(like Rango) or at least try to put some effort into it if your going to make it a comedy(Blazing Saddles does this in a perfect way). Seth was trying too hard to try to mimic Blazing Saddles while making this western.
