Review by Grace Snyder
Directed, written and starring Seth McFarlane,
A MILLION WAYS
TO DIE IN THE WEST fires audiences round after round of insanely
crude hilarity. McFarlane plays Albert, an unfulfilled sheep farmer
living in the wild, wild west. After bowing out of a gun-fight (where
audiences get their first taste of McFarlane’s comedic intentions),
Albert’s schoolmarm girlfriend, Louise (Amanda Seyfried), decides
it is time to end their relationship. Louise cites Albert’s lack of
motivation as reason for breaking off the affair and says that she
needs to “work on herself.”
This proves to be a lie as Albert quickly finds Louise with the
town’s local moustache-man, Foy (Neil Patrick Harris). Foy is
extravagant and far more impressive than the sheepish Albert and he
wastes no time pointing this out. Albert is beside himself in
anguish, wishing only to win his Louise back.
