In the decade since his fiancee was killed, an Army Ranger, Green Beret and Navy SEAL rolled into one (Will Forte) has sworn off fighting crime, preferring instead to rock his mullet as a man of peace. But when his sworn enemy, Dieter Von Cunth, steals a nuclear warhead, only MacGruber and his crack team of experts (Kristen Wiig, Ryan Phillippe) are equal to the task of bringing the villain to justice.

Critics Consensus

It too often mistakes shock value for real humor, but MacGruber is better than many SNL films -- and better than it probably should be.

Read Critics Reviews

Anthony Quinn

Independent (UK)

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.

Paul Gent

Daily Telegraph (UK)

A brash, intermittently funny, but predictably disposable movie, just about good enough for a switch-off-brain DVD rental.

Kate Muir

Times (UK)

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.

Brian Eggert

Deep Focus Review

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.

Rated: 2/4

El Nuevo Herald (Miami)

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.

If you stretch the joke too thin, it'll become unfunny. Your standard SNL feature-length skit boasts Forte's humorous approach and Kilmer's participation with the overall humor more fitting for fans, but for those who have watched less to none are probably better off to watch the trailer or the skits, if they're actually funny that is. Otherwise, this action comedy is utterly frivolous, not in a good way. (C)

The humor is more stupid than funny, but it's entertaining nonetheless.

One of the best movies I've ever seen, I feel like a lot of people have this kind of comedy go over their head, it's a satire of stylings and 80's movies tropes and amazingly done to every detail, I couldn't recommend this movie more.
