It's tricky to accommodate the wonderful vistas - most remarkably Monument Valley, Utah - with the grotesqueness of the script and dialog. It reflects a society fit for perceiving and acknowledging incredible cinematography while having literally nothing of worth to say.
The highlight of the film is the measure of cameos this western drama has the capacity pack into its almost two hour term; Dennis Haskins from "Spared by the Bell," Gilbert Gottfried, Bill Maher, Alex Borstein, Ryan Reynolds, Patrick Stewart, and even Jamie Foxx show up in little parts. There's even a nod to "Again to the Future" that is easily the best piece of the film.
Albert's oddity out succession after the pot treat is genuinely enthralling and the mustache tune is catchier than it has any right to be. The servitude shooting exhibition is certain to be an idea for the film, yet aside from the cameos Neil Patrick Harris is the most amusing part of the cast. His cheesy jokes took after by his outrageous giggle are really clever now and again and his adoration for his mustache simply sends the Foy character totally into over the top domain.

What's grievous is that the Edward and Albert characters are not difficult to identify with. Edward is an alternate turn on the pleasant gentleman character and like all decent gentlemen he completes last by being the last fellow nearby to at last engage in sexual relations. In the interim Albert can't get an earn back the original investment however he's a decent fellow living in a town that murders its occupants with totally everything under the sun. Albert is screwed so he sort of simply abandons life until he meets the young lady he had always wanted.
Talking as somebody who appreciates can silliness, its a miserable day when you need to come into a theater with sodden towelettes, figure out whether the can seat is actually down, and shout that nothing more will be tolerated.
