The obvious historical reference is the much better Blazing Saddles (1974). And this really could be subtitled, "I Tried to Rip that Film Off." But it does have its moments. Seth MacFarlane is not a great actor, but the fact that he could get Charlize Theron to be in this is quite incredible. Along with Liam Neeson, however, he might just take any job that comes his way by judging his last few films.
This film is high on sight gags, kind of like the cut-aways that MacFarlane has perfected on Family Guy.
It's rude, it's crude and it's not for everyone, but it's Seth MacFarlane and you should know what you're getting into. I happen to like his juvenile sense of comedy, but he's just not quite up to par with this one.
