Re: MacGruber
This was very funny! What a shame it was such a huge dud at the Box Office and there's no way in hell they'd ever make a sequel. I hope it finds a much bigger audience on DVD.
Kristen Wiig was hilarious. The coffee shop scene had me in stitches. I think that was the hardest I laughed during the entire movie. Even Ryan Phillippe is great, not to mention very sexy.
7/10 ( B ) from me, almost an 8/10 (B+)

Re: MacGruber
It's not as bad as it could have been, but still pretty yucky. I laughed maybe 5 times throughout the 90 minutes, two of those being from the same gag, and the rest is simply forgettable.

Re: MacGruber
MacGruber
In the world of loveable idiots, MacGruber is the worst. All of the jokes fell flat. When a studio executive gets this script, why does he greenlight it? What is going through his mind? Seriously, I like the Homer Simpson's, the Ernest's and the Austin Powers', so I'm not hating on this type of comedy because it can be funny, but this was complete shit.
They totally ripped off Rambo III for their beginning, which wasn't a secret - they meant for the audience to notice that - but there was just no point in doing that. This film positioned itself as a live-action Team America more than a full-on spoof like Hot Shots: Part Deux, but what was made was a hybrid of both and because of that it was complete shit. The jokes were not funny. Will Forte is one the unfunniest people I have ever watched, and his humour is so simple (and he still fucks it up).
The only good thing, and the only one with any sense (90% of the time) was Ryan Phillippe. The rest sucks.

Re: MacGruber
It's not bad, but it's completely average. Pretty much what you would expect from SNL movies at this point. Maybe a notch above as the secondary characters like Wiig, Kilmer, and Phillipe are actually good and pretty funny throughout. I give Forte credit for being able to sustain the character for a whole movie and it does work at times. But there was just way too much early praise for this movie. It's instantly forgettable.

Re: MacGruber
So The Dissolve (an outstanding movie site if you've never been) picked this as their Movie of the Week, which finally convinced me to check it out. And yeah, it's pretty fucking funny. "I will suck your dick, I will suck your fucking dick, just join my team. "
