Seth MacFarlane is back on the big screen with “A Million Ways to Die in the West,” a Western comedy that stretches the boundaries of political correctness. He is known for his straight forward offensive humor, so don’t expect this movie to be the exception.

This is the story of Albert Stark (MacFarlane), a sheep farmer, who loses the love of his girlfriend to the town’s most successful businessman, but then Anna (Charlize Theron), a mysterious and beautiful gunslinger arrives into town, and help him find his courage. Little did Albert knew that his new-found courage was going to be put to the test when Clinch (Liam Neeson), a notorious outlaw, arrives seeking revenge on the man he thinks made a dishonest woman of Anna.

Wearing multiple hats in this project as writer, producer, director and actor, MacFarlane pays tribute to some of his favorite Western classics. “I tend to lean more towards the Westerns of the 40’s and 50’s, as opposed to the 60’s and 70’s,” he said. “I love John Ford movies. I love the music and I love the scope, so we wanted to treat this as if it was a drama, essentially.” He also said how Albert and Anna lived during that time, but looked at the world through a modern lens.

MacFarlane surrounded himself with an all-star cast, lead by Oscar winner, Charlize Theron, along with Amanda Seyfried, Neil Patrick Harris, Giovanni Ribisi, Sarah Silverman and Liam Neeson, as well as several other stars making cameo appearances.

Meanwhile, for Theron it was a no-brainer joining this project. “Even before I read it, just the idea of doing something that’s kind of pitched in this very unusual way of a comedy Western situation, and having Seth [MacFarlane] at the helm of that. That to me was very intriguing,” she said. “I just really liked this character. I felt like I could bring something to the table, so I definitely did some chasing for the part.

At a recent press conference, both MacFarlane and Theron, couldn’t stop talking about the privilege of working with Neeson. “I’m still astonished that he agreed to do the movie. That character needed to be a pretty genuine threat,” MacFarlane said. He wanted someone to be completely “earnest and real” and Neeson was just that. “Liam’s presence is, and it cannot be overstated, how essential that was to the story working as a whole. He was just fantastic and, I think, a great guy to have around. Just a consummate professional, and everybody loved him,” he added.

Theron admitted to being a little star-struck by Neeson. “He’s great. There’s just something about him. He is not just a one-dimensional actor, no matter what he does. I think that’s why people are so endeared by him and why you emotionally tap into him, no matter what he plays. He plays the baddie in this so convincingly, he’s just not putting it on. It’s always coming from a place of understanding and empathy. It’s not plastered or mechanical,” she explained. “He was funny too, and he had really funny moments. I think everybody was really surprised about that.”

Bottom line is: this movie has a little bit of everything to please and offend anybody. So if you are into Family Guy and liked Ted, go for it. But if you are easily offended with this kind of humor, skip it and save your money.

“A Million Ways to Die in the West” opens in theaters on May 30.
