Did It Suck Movie Reviews

Review:     2.5 Stars     Rated:     14-A

Revenge in the hands of MacGruber is a nasty story and if you’re the bad guy,  I’d be worried.

MacGruber is a recurring sketch on the NBC television series Saturday Night Live, first appearing on the show in January 2007. .. (more here)
The cast includes: Will Forte, Val Kilmer, Kristen Wiig and Maya Rudolph.

Plot: 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. more here

Did It Suck? I’m not going to make this a long review because it’s really not worth my time. MacGruber has a few genuinely funny parts, but for the most part it pushed the toilet humor envelope too far in trying to get a laugh.  I found myself laughing at the stupidity rather than laughing because it was supposed to be funny. Don’t get me wrong, far-fetched reality and toilet humor comedies have their place, but MacGruber just doesn’t have my vote as a good comedy.  MacGruber’s Saturday Night Live fans will probably want to see this film, however I encourage  you to Wait For The DVD.
