First off, this comedy/satire western is definitely geared toward Seth MacFarlane's audience that have enjoyed Family Guy, American Dad, and Ted. So if you are not up for offensive jokes about Indians, or quite a bit of people dying in absurd ways, or someone taking a shit into a hat (Yes, that does happen in the film) , then this is probably not the movie for you. Unfortunately, the film falls short of being any where close as good as his previous work. Though it is crass and funny at times, for every hysterical joke there is, there are quite a few that, much like Albert, really miss the mark. Which is a shame because both Theron and Seyfried turn out great funny performances, but they're just not enough to save the film from mediocre comedy that it unfortunately is.

In short, if you have already seen everything that has come out this summer and need to kill some time at the theater then go ahead and see it, but don't keep your expectations high. Otherwise, just wait it out for a Netflix rental if you're still curious to see it.
RATING: A Very Generous 3/5.
