Hey, it makes me laugh and isn't that all we should ask for out of something like this?

"You're loco, man!"
Subtitles: "You're crazy, man!"
The stupidest fun out there. Will Forte is a treasure.

I don't really know why I love this so much. It's bad and crude and relies on irritating running-jokes. But it has me in stitches.
There's a certain charm to Forte's titular character, who is basically the worst and most annoying person on the planet, and he is offset well by Ryan Phillippe and the ever-wonderful Kristen Wiig.

I was never really into SNL in the 2000s, in fact I had switched to MadTV, so I had missed the sketch that this film was based off of. There have been a lot of movies based on SNL skits but after Blues Brothers 2000 their quality had taken a dip. In fact MacGuber marks the last film based off an SNL skit. If MacGruber is the last one ever these types of movies won't be missed.
Will Forte is actually a pretty funny guy and tailor made for this role (naturally of course as he played the character on the show). He plays MacGruber who is tasked with stopping Dieter Von Cunth, some bad guy (Val Killmer) who has…
