action

America during the times of the Wild West : Sheep farmer Albert is not exactly what a real cowboy in his town of Old Stump would be like. Not only is he a big coward, has never fired a Colt, and avoids any brawl. He is also a bad sheep farmer. So friend Louise fled into the arms of someone else, with the excuse that she had to find herself first.

Albert is deeply depressed and wants to leave town when the beautiful Anna appears. Louise's new lover named Foy and Albert want to duel. Anna tries to teach Albert to shoot within a week, but with little success. On the evening before the duel, she mixes Albert's opponent with a laxative, so that he gets terrible diarrhea shortly before the duel and can no longer aim properly. Disgusted, Albert breaks off the duel and tells Louise that she can go on with the new one if she wants to.

But Anna has hidden from Albert that she has been married to Clinch Leatherwood since childhood. Your husband is a ruthless, trigger-happy bandit. When he learns what his wife is up to in his absence, he foams with anger and wants to bring Albert down in a duel. When trying to break away in time, Albert falls into Indian captivity. Because he was always an outsider and had no friends, Albert learned the Indian language out of boredom. So he can now communicate with them and make friends. When taking drugs together, he has hallucinations that give him a saving idea. Albert shoots first in the duel, but only hits Clinch on the arm. This dies anyway, because the bullet was prepared with snake venom by the Indians. Louise then wants to go back to Albert. Now it's up to Albert to say that he has to find himself just to go away with Anna holding hands.

Reviews

“Nevertheless, his [Seth MacFarlanes] western parody, which pokes fun at life in the wild west town of Old Stump in the mirror of the present, is not a one-man show. The illustrious ensemble, which also includes Amanda Seyfried and 'Ted' co-star Giovanni Ribisi, calves its way through the dusty backdrops with obvious pleasure. The fact that not all gags hit the mark is only half as wild with so much star power. Conclusion Full coverage: four salmon volleys for a hallelujah. "

“With the western comedy 'A Million Ways To Die In The West', all-rounder Seth MacFarlane cemented his status as an influential Hollywood nerd who doesn't let himself be dictated to. His film is as coarse as it is funny, as rough as it is charming, as headstrong as it is suitable for the masses - and despite the fact that there is hardly any plot, it is unique. "

“It is these pointedly sudden gags that worked well in the classic 'Simpsons' episodes, for example, and which MacFarlane then also used in his animated series 'Family Guy' - but what really ignites in the fast rhythm of a cartoon is in the leisurely narrative flow this Wild West comedy is often just set in the prairie sand. "
