In the decade since his fiancée was killed, an Army Ranger, Green Beret and Navy SEAL rolled into one 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 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.

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.

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

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.

2/4

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.

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.

Funniest movie I have seen in a long time. Some jokes may be repetitive (the car stereo) but they honestly hit hard when timed right. I miss good comedies, and this one doesn’t disappoint. Haven't laughed so hard in a while.

Very typical SNL humor. A terrible knock off of MacGyver.
