A MILLION WAYS TO DIE IN THE WEST. Writer/director/actor/producer/ song-and-dance man Seth MacFarlane, after winning at primetime cartoons, had a surprise hit with his movie debut Ted (2012). This put him in the rare and enviable position of doing whatever he wanted for his sophomore effort, with very little oversight from his studio bosses. Therein lies the problem. The concept is promising: a hard R comedy about the pitfalls and pratfalls of the Old West,

top-loaded with celebrities and modern language. McFarlane was able to attract Charlize Theron, Liam Neeson, Wes Studi and a host of others to the project, and a Western would seem a near-perfect vehicle for his offbeat, smirking populism. As an early fan of Family Guy with nothing but nice things to say about Ted, I had every reason to think I would like A Million Ways. When it started to go off the rails midway through, I gave it the benefit of the doubt and hoped for the best. When it became clear that yes, this is as good as it’s going to get, I gave myself over to profound disappointment. MacFarlane stars as Albert Stark, a hapless sheep farmer from Old Stump, a dusty Podunk in the Arizona Territory, circa 1882. He lives with his cruel, disgusting parents and, as the movie opens, manages to talk himself out of being summarily cut down in a duel on Main Street. He sees this as resourceful, but his girlfriend (Amanda Seyfried) sees it as a sign of cowardice and gives him the boot. He seeks solace in whiskey and the companionship of his friends Edward and Ruth (Giovanni Ribisi and Sarah Silverman, both making the most of minor material). Amidst his
