Kickin ass and rippin throats!! This is one of my favorite comedies. It also has probably the funniest sex scene in film history.
-
Ridiculous throat rippin', self aware, wacky action fun!
Val Kilmer as the villain and Ryan Phillipe as the straight man sidekick are especially good in this (the meat shield scene!!)...and watching Macgruber have sex with various people, living and dead, is toe curling yet hilarious!
Another film to thank the people of Letterboxd for telling me about!

I don't care what anybody says, this movie is f'ing funny! Very stupid but also very funny!

I felt bad for Val Kilmer watching this

I did smile a few times and Kirsten Wiig is as fun as always but really this is not particularly funny overall. It was annoying as it was just too stupid for me, just too ridiculous for my tastes, there are some good jokes but not ebough to make it really worth watching.

Pathetic.

Well this...this film is pretty indescribable. The best part was clearly the Big Shows homosexual scene, and if that's a spoiler, well I'm sorry. The plot and the script writing wasn't too bad, considering I didn't expect much. Some of the random jokes in the film made me laugh out loud, which I thought the film wouldn't make me do. The only major flaw in it was I expected the WWE wrestlers to have more of a main part, when they were in it for what, 5 minutes? Also the ending was too predictable. I guess that's what I expected from the film though.

Classic MacGruber.

Utterly dreadful.

A lot funnier than I expected.

My hope for an AUSTIN POWERS-style discovery of a comedy classic everyone ignored at the cinema was short-lived, with this laborious and unfunny '80s action hero spoof. Based on a Saturday Night Live character parodying MacGyver, Will Forte plays the eponymous hero who's called back into action, RAMBO III-style (or HOT SHOTS II-style?), to stop a terrorist played by Val Kilmer—whose name, Dieter Von Cunth, is probably the cleverest thing about this lame comedy.
Forte gurns and yells his way through a storyline that runs out of good jokes after 20-minutes, before the plot gives out 10-minutes later. It was a struggle to stay awake an hour in. Ryan Phillipe gives the film's best performance as MacGruber's reluctant sidekick, but…

Action movie spoof which is desperately short on quality gags.
