Geekscape Movie Review:s ‘A Million Ways to Die in the West’

Seth MacFarlane’s newest film, A Million Ways to Die in the West, is absolutely hilarious and covers every single persons’ sense of humor. Need a laugh? You should definitely see it.

Of course, like his show Family Guy, it has over-the-top, crossing-the-line humor throughout. Dumb laughs? Of course. Physical comedy? Quite often. Funny song? Check. Pop culture references? Duh! Sarcasm galore. Dirty humor. High brow laughs. And of course, it has its fair share of poop and fart jokes. This movie has laughs for everyone’s sense of humor, no matter what.

What else really made the movie were the piles of cameos, both those that were spoiled for me (thank you so much, Internet) and the ones I somehow avoided by ignoring the trailers and spoilers. Some were random, others were completely planned out and precise, but overall each and every star who appeared in the film made it even funnier.

Even better? Sure I’m telling you to avoid the trailers, but much like those of Bad Grandpa, the Million trailers show parts of the funny scenes, but not the whole moment. The ice block scene? The shooting gallery? These are so much better in the film. Luckily, this is not one of those movies where all of the funny parts are given away in the trailer.

The actors were hilarious as well. Seth MacFarlane is always funny, but Charlize Theron doesn’t always get to be comedic and does an excellent job. Plus, with the likes of Giovanni Ribisi, Sarah Silverman and Neil Patrick Harris, you know it will be jam-packed with laughs.

Plus, I have a feeling it has many “How did I miss that?” moments when watched a second time. Since I’ve only seen it once at a sneak preview, I can’t be sure…but I have a feeling that kind of humor was there too.

My only advice is to try your best to avoid spoilers. Don’t watch the extended trailers that are sure to start coming out. Don’t cross the “spoilers below” line in articles. And definitely don’t talk to your loud mouth friends who saw it before you. A lot of the humor relies on the surprise.

Overall, this movie gets 5/5 on the humor alone. See it as soon as possible! A Million Ways to Die in the West hits theatres on May 30th!
