Albert (Seth McFarlane) is the
quintessential misfit in the harsh Wild West – a well-read polished gentleman
who tries to reason his way out of gunfights, much to the chagrin of bemused
on-lookers who have come for a day’s entertainment i.e. watching one of the
duelers die. Sheep farmer by profession, and spurned by gold digging
girlfriend Louise (Amanda SeyFreid), Albert loses his heart to Anna (Charlize
Theron), and almost his life to her husband – notorious outlaw Clinch (Liam
Neeson). Hilarious in parts, crass in a few, eminently watchable and an
unexpected winner overall – A Million Ways to Die in the West does not fail to
remind you often enough that the Wild West really sucked..
