In 2012, Ted carried animated impresario and musical enthusiast Seth MacFarlane‘s naughty sensibilities to their natural, R-rated, big screen terminus, and raked in nearly $550 million worldwide. (A sequel, naturally, is in the works for next summer.) With the new comedy A Million Ways To Die in the West, multi-hyphenate MacFarlane heartily affixes a bull’s-eye to his back, starring in his second film behind the camera — a scattershot affair that mixes his characteristically crass and off-kilter sense of humor with affable goofiness and sentimentality.
