MACGRUBER

Plot:


When Washington D.C. becomes the threat of a nuclear attack at the hands of the evil Dieter Von Cunth (Kilmer), Col. James Faith (Boothe) tries to enlist the services of the retired but highly decorated Macgruber (Forte) who happens to be Cunth’s arch rival. After a little convincing he commits to the mission, but when he fails to put a team together to combat his nemesis of evil, he must rely on his ex-teammate Vicki St. Elmo (Wiig) and Lt. Piper (Phillippe), who Macgruber can’t stand but needs to complete the assignment. With the clock ticking on the nuclear warhead, the clumsy Macgruber must do whatever it takes to foil the devastating attempt of the evil Cunth.


Reel Talk:

In this Saturday Night Live comedy skit (which I never seen before, because I don’t watch SNL anymore) turned into a movie, Macgruber who is a parody of the MacGyver character who used odd household products instead of weapons to foil his adversaries’ evil plots. Well this movie starts out with some very funny skits, but they begin to fade fast during the course of the movie. His appearance, the car and the music starts out funny but soon you just want to know when will it end. Not a must see movie, really a I can wait for the DVD version or when it comes to cable.
