Quote: “People die at the fair.”- Albert Stark

 

Fun Facts: Charlize Theron had to wear a wig for this movie as she had her head buzzed for Mad Max: Fury Road (2015).

 

During his pow-wow with the Indians, Seth says “mila kunis” in Native American speak. The translation below reads “fine”. Mila Kunis plays Meg in Family Guy (1999). She was also in Ted (2012), another Seth MacFarlane film.

 

Christopher Lloyd appeared as “Doc” Emmett L. Brown the who is working on a “weather experiment” in his barn as there are more cameos including Jamie Foxx, Ewan McGregor and Ryan Reynolds.

 

When Albert recites the supposedly Islamic death chant, during his duel with Clinch Leatherwood, he sings “Tarzan boy” by Baltimora.

 

Summary: A sheep farmer is depressed when her girlfriend left him but is able to pick up a new woman in town, not knowing she’s the wife of outlaw, Clinch Leatherwood.

 

The Review: Seth MacFarlane is great in Family Guy and Ted but he missed out on this one. I mean, someone else could have played Albert. The jokes aren’t really that funny, only a few is actually funny. Neil Patrick Harris’ mustache looks fake. The end is the only part that really built me up. One of the Million Ways to Die in the West is watching this mediocre western comedy.
