Everyone has seen western films often with John Wayne in it with the occasional Wilhelm scream popping up. Well this is the new cowboy in town. With update language and hilarious parts though I did loose all of my respect for Neil Patrick Harris ( Barney, How I met Your Mother) when he got ill and shit in two top hats. You gain respect for Seth McFarlene for not just being a lonely sheep herder but, going against Liam Neeson in a film where he doesn't say 'I don't know who you are. I don't know what you want. If you are looking for ransom, I can tell you I don't have money. But what I do have are a very particular set of skills, skills I have acquired over a very long career. Skills that make me a nightmare for people like you. If you let my daughter go now, that'll be the end of it. I will not look for you, I will not pursue you. But if you don't, I will look for you, I will find you, and I will kill you.' and it turns out Seth McFarlene wins. With a damsel not in distress who save Seth McFarlene from distress and helps him to be a proper man while accidental falling in love with him. A surprising fun movie in parts though it is not quite as good as Seth's previous films and the amount of ways people could have died in the West actually surprises you.
I rate this film a 14/20.
