Thanks for the memories!
It's not great by any means, but it's a pretty good movie that didn't leave me filled with regret for investing time in it.
An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.

Director: Seth MacFarlane Screenplay: Seth MacFarlane, Alec Sulkin and Wellesley Wild Cat: Seth MacFarlane, Charlize Theron, Amanda Seyfried, Neil Patrick Harris and Giovanni Ribisi Plot: In 1882 a sheep hearder loses his girlfriend to the local mustache guy and tries to win her back. Review: I hated this movie because it can't decide if it wants to be a modern update of Blazing Saddles or Seth MacFarlane does the wild west, either way this was a horrible movie. The direction and screenplay are horrible. The casting and acting are absolutely horrible. All in all I would give this zero out of a possible five stars.
I'm a bit confused over the hate for this movie. Yes it's juvenile and a bit gross and the humour sometimes misfires - it's Seth MacFarlane folks, it is what it is! I personally don't usually like this kind of humour but my Dad was a massive western fan and I watched it because of that and loved the tongue in cheek references/send up of the genre. There are lots of fun moments for anyone who remembers those old westerns, there are lots of silly jokes, a good soundtrack, amusing cameos and the cast are clearly having a great time. It's a thoroughly enjoyable movie overall as long as you don't expect it to be Shakespeare.
I'm actually a big Seth MacFarlane fan. I watched Family Guy religiously as a teenager and can quote that show for pretty much every ridiculous incident in my life. I for some reason missed every movie of 2014 and am only watching them all now. I found this in the DVD bin at Walmart and decided to get it since I love Seth MacFarlane's humour. It wasn't a bad movie. But it wasn't nearly as funny as the stuff I'm used to by him. It was also way to long for what it is. I also used to watch My Name is Earl religiously, so was pretty disappointed by Giovianni Ribisi's character in this. And I overall dislike Sarah Silverman. Anyway, movie wasn't awful, it just didn't live up to Seth MacFarlane's other works.
One of the worst films I have ever seen. I find it amazing how highly rated this is and what good reviews people have given it. Not a laugh from me. Aimed at 10 year old kids. The dialogue in particular had the same quality as the stuff that ended up in someone's hat. It was DULL and mushy if you take out the swearing. I mean, swearing just does not turn boring drivel into comedy, even if it does make you laugh.
