MacGruber Reviews
This is an action-comedy that forgot the action part of its equation, leaving only the base comedy to entertain us. Unfortunately, that isn’t enough.
| Original Score: 2/4 | Aug 18, 2023
The result of such incomparable incompetence dares to repeat the worst of its jokes. [Full review in Spanish]

Viewers will eventually be struck by the realization that Requiem for a Dream and Precious: Based on the Novel Push by Sapphire combined contained more belly laughs.
| Original Score: 1.5/4 | May 30, 2021
One can't help but be immensely disappointed.
| Original Score: 2.0/4.0 | Sep 15, 2020
It's pretty fantastic, is what I'm getting at.

Kristen Wiig lends it a bit of class as the hero's moll, Vicki St Elmo, but Forte is a pain, the scatological crudity unrelenting, and the air of pointlessness unignorable.

MacGruber is easily the best movie based on a Saturday Night Live skit in 15 years. But, considering the quality of recent sketch-to-screen projects, that sentence doesn't quite do justice to how funny the movie is.
| Original Score: 3/5 | Mar 30, 2019
It's funny but forgettable.

[MacGruber is] a misguided MacGyver spoof, which relies on shock value and bad-온라인카지노추천 nostalgia for what little fizz it has.

MacGruber fails where every single Saturday Night Live skit-turned-movie, save for Wayne's World, has failed. They take something that is funny for five minutes and think it can be funny for 90 minutes.
| Original Score: 1/5 | Mar 30, 2019
This spoof of 1980s' action hero MacGyver just isn't funny, with its banal reliance on lame sex jokes.
| Mar 30, 2019
One of the more interesting and unusual aspects of the film is the sheer unattractiveness and unpleasantness of the hero.
| Original Score: 1/5 | Mar 30, 2019
A brash, intermittently funny, but predictably disposable movie, just about good enough for a switch-off-brain DVD rental.
| Mar 30, 2019
It's hilarious. And most likely one of the funniest movies you'll see this season.
| Original Score: B+ | Mar 30, 2019
Jorma Taccone's MacGruber movie may not be as slick or as smart a genre deconstruction as Edgar Wright's Hot Fuzz, but it's very, very funny.
| Original Score: 3/5 | Mar 30, 2019
MacGruber is funny, at times eye wateringly funny but it is by no means an inspired comedy or one that will appeal to everyone as it's rude, crude and at times plain stupid but it's definitely funny.

It's not aiming to be anything other than an amusing send-up and celebration of self-assured idiot characters and acid-washed jean eras and in that it respect it mostly succeeds.
| Original Score: B | Mar 30, 2019
In the film version, the shaggy-mullet-sporting action hero took a detour from stupidly funny to just plain stupid.
| Original Score: 2/4 | Mar 30, 2019
The canon of cheesy action movies offers such a vast reserve of mockable nonsense that no parody can fail to come up with one or two funny jokes of its own, and there are some chucklesome bits in this one.

An action-comedy-thriller (although the term "dud" is better), MacGruber is based on a recurring American Saturday Night Live sketch -- a joke funny for 20 seconds, but not 99 minutes.
