Point at something, I'll duck it for you. Just tell me what you want me to duck!
Classic from start to finish. It's an absolute riot, filled with clever humor and witty dialogue that had me laughing out loud throughout. The cast was superb, with each actor delivering their lines flawlessly, adding to the overall enjoyment. The comedic timing was spot on, and the chemistry between the characters was palpable. I couldn't help but be entertained by the hilarious scenarios and comedic situations they found themselves in. If you're looking for a lighthearted, feel-good film that will keep you laughing, this one should definitely be on your watchlist!

An 80's movie for the 21st century
I borrowed this movie on DVD a couple of years ago, not knowing what to expect. I was curious, since I had read in many websites I frequent about this movie being made and it was already being plagued by mixed opinions before it was released or even made.Later I found out this was based on some kind of TV sketch (SNL, I think?). The opinions on that TV sketch seem to range from hate to indifference. I have never made an opinion because I found out about the sketch's existence long after watching the movie, and I stopped watching TV a long time ago.In any case, I don't care if that sketch is the stupidest, unfunniest thing in the world. This movie is WONDERFUL. I fell in love with it the moment I watched it. It's both a throwback and a parody of 80's action flicks. If you loved those, you'll love this film. Most people who critizice this movie do it for three reasons, either because they don't get the references to classic films, becausse they misinterpret the jokes or because they think it's similar to the TV show.I know from good sources that the latter belief is false. And I can tell you that this movie is fun for all the good reasons. Yes, it does have some jokes that might look juvenile, but just like with, say, South Park, those jokes are there as an excuse for the much more interesting, smarter and way funnier parodies of other material.Give this movie a chance. Don't take the negatives at face value. Watch the film and remember you're supposed to laugh AT MacGruber, not WITH him.

A odd comedy that is hard to describe..
"MacGruber" (the movie, not the character) is frustrating. As soon as you are laughing your ass off and thinking "This is great!" it follows up with a "What the hell, this sucks." scene over and over. The cycle repeats itself constantly until the end, which, actually sort of makes the experience worth it.It goes without saying this is low-brow humor through and through, which is GREAT, in my opinion. There is nothing wrong with that. It is just that the movie as a whole doesn't "gel," for a lack of a better word.Bottom line: There are many hilarious moments in this film but to really enjoy it you have to think of it as a series of SNL style sketches loosely tied together by a plot who's only purpose is to hang the sketches on.I would normally give 3 stars, but I will go 4 because, with that said, despite being frustrating, it is also hilarious enough at times to warrant it.If that isn't a convoluted review, I don't know what is. But it is an honest one.PS - It helps to know what MacGruber is making fun of. It isn't just MacGyver, but all action movie heroes to such an extreme there is no connection whatsoever anymore. In other words, classic MacGruber.

It will get a laugh
This is a very classic movie, you seen it before. There really is nothing new, all the lines and things been done before maybe even better, just think of all those old movies and lines and just adjust it a minute or two and you have this movie!A movie where things come out of left field and it always seems a bit late or too early for the joke. It is fine and towards the end you will be ok with things. Like the movie sets you up and the end you suspect to happens happens.Over all do not suspect much from this movie except something near fart humor and exactly what you think would happen happens. If you like Master of Disguise then you will get confused with this movie as it is too smart for you, other then that it is an ok movie if you are bored or high... Watch something better honestly.

Silly, Sick, and Stupid...
... but SO darn funny! That rare SNL skit-turned-film that departs wildly from the original SNL concept, makes full (delightfully gratuitous) use of the R rating, and evolves well beyond the one dimensional skit: a clueless MacGruber simply trying to diffuse a bomb before it blows. Forte's performance is marked by a slow and subtle evolution of character, and his refusal to play MacGruber any way other than straight up; and therein lies the power that gives this satirical romp actual weight - both comic and, surprisingly, dramatic. Wiig's understated performance is typically brilliant, and Phillippe is perfectly cast as Forte's earnest straight man - a legitimate soldier forced to work with the ultimate jackass. Val Kilmer's turn as the hilariously named villain evolves from deadpan menace to manic mania, and the scenes where Forte and Kilmer go head-to-head are priceless. Deliberately dumb, over-the-top dirty, and brazenly, confidently, patently absurd, the film makes no apologies whatsoever to viewers who either don't get it or are offended by it. People who hate this film have legitimate reasons, no doubt; but I feel sorry for them. Forte's performance is a very modern example of raw, (sometimes literally) naked, comic genius.

cheese at it's best!
You aren't watching this for it's existential meaning of life or it's profound impactful proclamation of a better future.. you're watching this for it's dumb, outrageous and over the top humor!If you want to really enjoy the times that you can shut your brain off and put it on autopilot, put this movie on :P
