What to Know
Critics Consensus
While it offers a few laughs and boasts a talented cast, Seth MacFarlane's overlong, aimless A Million Ways to Die in the West is a disappointingly scattershot affair.

Anthony Lane New Yorker The one person who gets the balance right, weighing parody and homage, is the composer, Joel McNeely, whose opening theme stirs hopes and memories that the movie cannot match. Jun 16, 2014 Full Review Leonard Maltin leonardmaltin.com "A Million Ways To Die In The West" may remind MacFarlane's core audience of what they're missing by not having Westerns as part of their regular movie menu. Jun 2, 2014 Full Review Jonathan Romney Observer (UK) It's essentially Blazing Saddles, only the fart jokes aren't quite as fresh. Rated: 1/5 Jun 1, 2014 Full Review Patrick Cavanaugh The Wolfman Cometh Despite occasionally being clever in how it pokes fun about the misery of the Old West, it ultimately fails to be anything more than an attempt from MacFarlane to endear himself to the audience. Rated: 2/5 Sep 20, 2023 Full Review Brian Eggert Deep Focus Review Almost nothing about the film works, and it leaves us wondering why anyone involved thought this was going to be funny. Rated: 0.5/4 Aug 15, 2022 Full Review Richard Crouse Richard Crouse McFarlane's movie does have at least one classic moment that will appeal to Generation Xers and the most undignified duel ever, but it doesn't have much sardonic resonance. Rated: 3/5 Feb 1, 2021 Full Review Read all reviews
R E Man, this was terrible. I’m sure if you’re a fan of Seth Macfarlane, you might enjoy. Rated 0.5/5 Stars •Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars06/11/24 Full Review Jody J I thought it was hilarious and had humor similar to Airplane. Rated 5/5 Stars •Rated 5 out of 5 stars06/10/24 Full Review Robert W 10 years ago it brought me many laughs. I think everyone should watch Blazing Saddles prior to this. And then you might get it. It was many laughs needed, again in 2024. Rated 5/5 Stars •Rated 5 out of 5 stars06/04/24 Full Review Michael V I like this movie. Not sure why it gets such harsh reviews. The music is great. The cinematography is great. Some of the comedy is hilarious. This is be a cult comedy in 20 years. Rated 4/5 Stars •Rated 4 out of 5 stars05/28/24 Full Review Dan R Comedy gold, dark humour, good cast. All I can ask is it gets me laugh and I was belly laughing. Rated 4/5 Stars •Rated 4 out of 5 stars05/08/24 Full Review Alex A A dark comedy with hilarious jokes and shocking humor. I get why some people don't get into it as it a little unpleasant, but it's a marvelous movie for those who have a twisted and messed up sense of humor Rated 3.5/5 Stars •Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars04/21/24 Full Review Read all reviews
