A very funny movie a must see

📀 arrived on time and in new condition 👍 💯!

Well, the negative critics did it again. They crapped all over a film that didn't deserve it. You'd think that by now, these people would know what a Seth MacFarlane show is all about. But oh, no. They still sit down and watch one of his programmes/films and are completely "surprised" by the crude humour, potty jokes, etc. Then they get on line and complain about it. You know, people, all you need do is a bit of an intelligent search for MacFarlane to see exactly what kind of work he produces. There! Problem solved! No more stupid surprises!Anyway, I enjoyed this film precisely because it is a typical MacFarlane work. It has all the crude and VERY funny humour we fans have come to expect from the man. It also has the typical drama that always manages to feel an integral part of the story, regardless of how many fart, dick and death jokes he throws into the mix. And this is why I like his works. The humour always seems to come from the circumstances. It isn't just tossed in as an afterthought. This isn't Monty Python, where the humour can just show up unannounced out of left field and have little connection with the context of the programme (although I enjoy Python humour as well). MacFarlane's humour always feels part of the story. Such as the bit about the ice block falling and crushing a worker's head. Yes, it's crazy gory; yes, it's a shock; yes, it's stomach churning; but yes, it's also funny as hell. It comes out of the situation and feels natural.This is the same story design MacFarlane uses in The Orville, and it works there also (Idiot critics didn't like The Orville either, and they were wrong there, too). Humour rising out of the daily horrors of life. We all know what the best comics say about the best humour: it rises out of the worst pain. MacFarlane obviously understands this and has mastered how to utilize this principle very well.I also enjoyed all the surprising cameos sprinkled throughout the film. And the panoramic cinematography is just stunning, genuinely a work of art. And he didn't have to do that. He deliberately made sure the images would be as beautiful as possible, while driving home the fact that amid all this breathtaking beauty there existed the horror of agony and death around every turn. From what I've read and learned about life even a mere 100 to 200 years ago, this is actually how life was -- a horror show. Even in the big, "civilized" cities, life was very hard, horribly dirty, dangerous, disease-ridden and terrifying. It helps explain why the average lifespan was so incredibly short, compared with today. These days, we're used to many people living even a century. Back then, a century of life would be considered an absolute miracle and utterly unusual, with all the thousand little things waiting to take your health or your life. In this respect, the film gets it absolutely right.So, it holds no surprise for me that MacFarlane can glean so much humour out of circumstances so dismal and bleak. Humour out of pain. Works every time.

good movie

I saw few skits from this movie over the years and they were funny and interesting. So, finally, I watched the whole movie and it is great. Sometimes it feels more like it's adapted theatrical play but nevertheless, it's still much better than 99% of movies.This was probably unrated version because there were pretty "upfront" scenes and language not regularly seen in movies. I really liked it wasn't censored.

A Million Ways to Die in the West is a raunchy, absurd, and self-aware comedy that brings Seth MacFarlane’s signature humor into a Western setting. Featuring a star-studded cast, including Charlize Theron, Liam Neeson, Amanda Seyfried, and Neil Patrick Harris, the film follows a cowardly sheep farmer who finds himself learning to fight and stand his ground—while dodging one of the many ridiculous ways to die in the Wild West.Pros:✅ Charlize Theron’s Performance: Theron brings a genuine charm and depth to the film, making her the standout character. ✅ Comedic Cameos: The film is packed with unexpected celebrity appearances, including references to Back to the Future and other pop culture icons. ✅ Visually Well-Executed: For a comedy, the cinematography and set design hold up well, creating a fun Old West aesthetic.Cons:⚠ Hit-or-Miss Humor: The comedy relies heavily on shock humor and crude jokes, which may not appeal to all audiences. ⚠ Uneven Pacing: Some segments drag, particularly in the film’s middle act. ⚠ MacFarlane’s On-Screen Presence: As the lead, MacFarlane’s delivery and comedic timing can feel forced at times.For fans of Seth MacFarlane’s signature comedic style (Family Guy, Ted), A Million Ways to Die in the West offers a wildly silly and irreverent take on Western tropes—but its humor may not land for everyone.

slapstick funny if you are a X Gen or Millennial. Movie had bad reviews from the box office. But will definitely have a cult following. Movie is unpredictable which makes it a great film.
