Review of MacGruber (2010) by Philip S — 28 Dec 2010
The SNL skit is hardly a classic, but the trailer for this one-trick pony was intriguing. Unfortunately, ALL of the laughs are in that trailer. I was pretty shocked at the utter lack of laughs. And since the rest of the film is a spoof of action films, every scene is predictable.
If you don't throw in laughs...then what's the point? This movie could have been a LOT better. The character is pretty funny on the surface, so the potential is there. Throw in Kristen Wiig and an ok supporting cast, and this movie has some solid ingredients.
Too bad it didn't live up to the trailer. Watch it only if you're a fan of the actors and you have an afternoon to kill.
