June 14, 2011Such a great transformation of MacGruber from SNL to the big screen. Highly recommended for fans of the MacGruber segments on SNL. Forte & Wiig together in this movie have natural chemistry and are a class act. Maya Rudolph's character, even though not in the movie a lot, is grea... read more

April 2, 2011I don't even know what to say. What the hell did I just watch? MacGruber is so friggin' stupid, but it made me laugh with genuine amusement. MacGruber the character is an infantile and flippantly callous manchild who wouldn't win on Jeopardy if he were playing against Homer Simps... read more

March 12, 2011Yea, it's incredibly stupid. It has a bad beginning, but this movie is freaking hilarious! Being a fan of the Saturday Night Live MacGruber skits, I sort of new what to expect. And this movie left me completely satisfied. Of course it's flawed, but if had me laughing all the way ... read more

February 12, 2011Far far worse than I was expecting, this is what happens when you expand a 30-second Saturday Night Live sketch to a full-blown movie. MacGruber, a one-joke parody of MacGyver, becomes a one-joke movie. It's about an inept special agent who has to save the world from a criminal m... read more

January 25, 2011Sometimes it's okay to be lowbrow. Maybe I was just in the right mood, but this had me giggling consistently, with several outright guffaws. Included one of the funniest sex scenes I've ever seen.

December 28, 2010Flawed, flawed, flawed... but I really liked the films uniquely serious tone and dead-pan humor. A handfull of laugh out loud moments and suprisingly cool action sequences make for a mild recommendation.

December 21, 2010An endearingly dumb but unfortunately fun comedy with loads of crude jokes, silly antics and over the top action sequences. These type of comedies are hit and miss, if your willing to shut your brain off and enjoy a silly film like this, then do it. If not, then please turn it of... read more

A film that poses a philosophical question fundamental to our inquiry here, namely: "Why does this exist?"

Michael Phillips, At the Movies
Some of these two minute sketches look a little thin at 87 to 92 minutes. Full Review

You need a great character to make a bad thing good, and the action comedy MacGruber is sadly short on great characters. Full Review

While it would be unfair to saddle MacGruber with the "worst SNL movie of all-time" moniker (I can think of at least two that are more painful to endure), its place on the vaunted 2010 Worst 10 list i... Full Review

MacGruber is by no means a work of genius, or a piece of art, or even very good. But Forte and company have managed to make crude and lewd dunderheadedness laugh-out-loud funny here and there, and tha... Full Review

There's a conceptual flaw at this movie's heart: By the very nature of the sketch, MacGruber can't succeed on the big screen. Full Review

J. R. Jones, Chicago Reader
The movie scores a few laughs with its startling use of bloody R-rated violence, and there are enjoyable turns by Kristen Wiig (as MacGruber's sidekick), Val Kilmer (as the international bad guy), and... Full Review

... [succeeds] as a laser-sharp parody of all stripes of cliché-laden action blockbusters [and] as a consistently hilarious bad taste farce. Full Review

While this jury-rigged exercise may not be an explosion of laughs, it's no dud, either. Full Review
