Very Cool!!!
I really wanted to like this movie. I feel terribly cynical trashing it, and that's why I'm giving it a middling 5. Actually, I'm giving it a 5 because there were some superb performances.
View MoreIt’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.
View MoreThe tone of this movie is interesting -- the stakes are both dramatic and high, but it's balanced with a lot of fun, tongue and cheek dialogue.
View MoreJust my kind of humor, apparently. And looking at the IMDB score my humor is different from others. How weird.And good actors. Brilliant movie. I am going to check out what else this Seth guy has to offer..
View MoreSeth MacFarlane writes, produces, directs & stars in this 2014 western-comedy which co-stars Charlize Theron, Amanda Seyfried, Neil Patrick Harris, Giovanni Ribisi, Sarah Silverman and Liam Neeson. MacFarlane (Ted, Family Guy) plays Albert, a cowardly, sheepherder who gets dumped by his girlfriend, Louise (Seyfried). He's still in love with her until he meets and befriends, Anna (Theron), an attractive stranger who helps him build self-confidence and fire a pistol. Neeson (Taken) plays Clinch, an outlaw who turns out to be Anna's husband, Harris (How I Met Your Mother) plays Foy, Louise's new beau who taunts Albert, Ribisi (Ted) plays Edward, Albert's pal and Silverman plays prostitute, Ruth who is Edward's fiancée. This is a good film featuring a decent cast, silly and weird moments plus cameos. I recommend this and good luck getting the amusing, "Mustache" song out of your head.
View MoreIt's a great view about how much life must have sucked back then. The bar scene where he talks about all the ways you can die is incredible.."That is our mayor, he has been lying there for 3 days, nobody has done a thing. not moved him, not looked into his death, not even replaced him with a temporary appointee. For the last 3 days our highest ranking official has been a dead guy"Sidenote: A dollar shouldn't have been THAT impressive back then. It's $25.23 in 2016 money adjusting for inflation.
View MoreJust not that good, though it follows the trend of big name actors starring in bad movies - how and why I do not know, but here we have Liam Neeson (THE Liam Neeson) and Charlize Theron. They're always great to watch but I can't understand why they agreed to be part of such silly antics. Even if seeing that Sarah Silverman was in this lowered my expectations, I was still surprised at how bad it was.(Spoiler alert) I mean, Liam Neeson falls to the ground and Theron sticks a flower in his butt crack. Really? Then Neil Patrick Harris relieves his bouts of diarrhea in a couple guys' hats, which is disgusting and immature - but wait, there's more! We actually get to see what came out of him. For that alone this movie loses a couple of stars.Come on, people, how low can a movie go? I don't know what's up with Hollywood but it doesn't fail to disappoint. Granted, dumb is the new black so maybe they're just responding to a need for stupid - *more* stupid that is.
