Family Guy creator (and Ted director) Seth MacFarlane writes, directs and stars as a cowardly sheep herder turned gunslinger in this old West comedy. Co-stars Charlize Theron, Amanda Seyfried, Giovanni Ribisi, Neil Patrick Harris and Liam Neeson.
After Albert (McFarlane) backs out of a gunfight, his fickle girlfriend leaves him for another man. When a mysterious and beautiful woman rides into town, her love helps Albert find his courage. Soon though, her husband - a notorious outlaw - arrives seeking revenge and Albert must put his newfound balls on the line.

Judd Apatow's films are cited for off-setting their low-brow stylings with a tangible sweetness. Seth McFarlane is Apatow's artistic complement – the Family Guy/American Dad creator's comedy empire is defined by a healthy mean streak. That mean streak helps mark his new film away from other Western comedies, but can't make up for the overall scarcity of sustained laughs.

A flaccid all-star farce that's handsomely dressed up with nowhere to go for most of its padded two-hour running time.

In the venerable tradition of Cat Ballou and Blazing Saddles, Seth MacFarlane’s comedy western boasts gags galore – some a lot cruder than others. But the hits outnumber the misses.

MacFarlane’s irreverent humor feels subdued without the jolt of animation that gave his previous big-screen effort, Ted.

Feels less like a film than like an extremely long, fairly inspired live-action episode of Family Guy.

MacFarlane's take on the Western is considerably tamer than that of earlier smart-aleck postmodernists.

Well, I'm not sure the world needed two whole minutes of a gastrically panicked Neil Patrick Harris defecating in hats.

A Million Jokes Die In The West. Well, not a million. Most of them. Most of the jokes die in the West.
