MacGruber Reviews

Movie Reviews

• this adaptation misses even the most obvious of opportunities. What's left is as pieced together as one of its heroes many "gadgets"

  by Joe Lozito [Big Picture Big Sound ]

• The spirit of Frank Drebin lives on

  by Amber Wilkinson [Eye for Film ]

• The R-rating is welcome here, shaping a filthy funhouse environment to go along with the spurts of comedic violence, making "MacGruber" more of a rollicking good time than it had any right to be

  Review rate : B+ by Brian Orndorf [BrianOrndorf.com ]

• that ain't funny

  by Rick Groen [Globe and Mail ]

• prepare to laugh your ass off

  by John P. Meyer [Pegasus News ]

• MacGruber" is the best movie based on a "Saturday Night Live" sketch since "Wayne's World"

  by L. Kent Wolgamott [Lincoln Journal Star ]

• MacGruber breaks the jinx by putting the skit in the context of a 1980s action movie and creating its own brand of explosive lunacy

  by Peter Travers [Rolling Stone ]

• Hmm. Stink: The Movie. Oh wait; that's already been made

  by Rob Salem [Toronto Star ]

• Funny as it sometimes is, MacGruber is still a comedy for people juvenile enough to laugh at every f-bomb as though it's the first time they've ever heard a word that naughty

  by Roger Moore [Orlando Sentinel ]

• easy to watch and consistently funny, even if it is as substantial as a merengue

  by Drew McWeeny [HitFix ]

• Celebrating the fine art, and the very small sub-genre, of the pyrotechnically fuelled action comedy, MacGruber blows stuff up - but it doesn't blow - marking one of the bigger surprises of the summer movie season

  by Katherine Monk [Canwest News Service ]

• All thing considered, "MacGruber" is a lot better than it should be. That still doesn't mean it's all that great

  by Ty Burr [Boston Globe ]

• "Saturday Night Live"-derived '80s spoof does its best with very thin material

  by John DeFore [Hollywood Reporter ]
