"MacGruber don't play like homie, and homie don't play that game."
Saturday Night Live features are distinctly hit-and-miss, as shoddy SNL films greatly outnumber the decent ones. The challenge of SNL features is taking vaguely-drawn, one-joke characters and not only expanding their worlds but also building a cohesive narrative around them. 2010's MacGruber marks the first SNL featu... read more
Yes MacGruber should be the definition of corny. I did laugh a few times, but not too many times, I was hoping for more though. The ending was actual not too bad, I laughed the most then and was most interested at the end. The story was just really dumb, to me, and really didn't interest me a lot I felt bored. Ryan Phillippe did really well, I actually laughed at his lines more than MacGruber's. E... read more

Just one operative has been awarded 16 purple hearts, 3 Congressional Medals of Honor and 7 presidential medals of bravery. And only one guy is man enough to still sport a mullet. In 2010, Will Forte brings Saturday Night Live’s clueless soldier of fortune to the big screen in the action comedy MacGruber. In the 10 years since his fiancée was killed, special op MacGruber has sworn off a life of fighting crime with his bare hands. But when he learns that his country needs him to find a nuclear warhead that’s been stolen by his sworn enemy, Dieter Von Cunth (Val Kilmer), MacGruber figures he’s the only one tough enough for the job. Assembling an elite team of experts—Lt. Dixon Piper (Ryan Phillippe) and Vicki St. Elmo (Kristen Wiig)—MacGruber will navigate an army of assassins to hunt down Cunth and bring him to justice. His methods may be unorthodox. His crime scenes may get messy. But if you want the world saved right, you call in MacGruber.... (more)(less)

Actual: $8,525,600."

Ex-special operative MacGruber is called back into action to take down his archenemy, Dieter Von Cunth, who's in possession of a nuclear warhead and bent on destroying Washington, D.C.
A mixture of some decent to good actors and wrestlers make up some of the characters. So from the ratings I see not many people liked it, but I actually laughed out loud on this a couple times throughout. Yes some scenes were a bit ridiculous, but it wasn't a complete travesty to watch. Some weird sex scenes l"

"Takatukka on hauska ja kasari, tehdäänpäs parodia" -tyylinen ajattelu jonkun vatipään toimesta on saatu elokuvan mittaan, vaikkei vitsiä edes näytä riittävän kokopitkän leffan kestoon. Muutamaan otteeseen saa päähenkilön perseilylle naurahtaa, mutta suurimmaksi osaksi tätä katsoessa tuntui kun koittaisi ymmärtää jonkun porukan sisäpiiriläppää."
