This was barely funny as an SNL skit. I mean, don’t misunderstand, I laughed a few times… But an entire movie!? I can’t imagine how this is going to be entertaining for 90 minutes.
I’ve made that exact statement about every single SNL skit made into a movie.
They previewed it at SXSW a couple of months ago, and against all odds, most of the early reviews have been good to great.
I saw a trailer for MacGruber before watching Kick-Ass. It looked like the most terrible movie imaginable, just a string of jokes about wanting to suck another guy’s dick.
That’s good news. I will definitely be seeing it. The MacGruber sketches with Charles Barkley were the only time I have actually laughed out loud at SNL in the past few years.
Have we seen the same trailer? There’s not a single dick joke in it.
Also, I’m there opening night.
It was the “red band” trailer.
But not this one: MacGruber Red Band Trailer (2010)
