It works OK as a 20 second sketch....even those get kind of old. But as a movie???

This. First thing I thought of.

Might be a good rental though. I even liked that Larry the Cable Guy Health Inspector movie as a rental :)

Concept is funny, but execution sucks.

If you can't make the trailer funny, the movies is in trouble.:thumbsdown:

maybe they've actually learned that most comedies show all the most funny parts in the trailer and thus there is no longer a good reason to go see the movie after seeing the trailer

This movie is going to be just awful.

No, it's going to be un-cunting-believably awful.

Also, doesn't he fucking die at the end of every sketch? That's the ENTIRE skit: he's bad at being MacGuyver, so he dies.

The only funny macgruber episode was when shia lebeouf (sp?) was on there and some anal lube fell out of his jacket.

Kenny dies in every SP Episode(with a few exceptions). You don't actually see MacGruber die, just get blown up. :eek::D

MacGruber, he's gotten divorced and he's filed for bankruptcy
MacGruber, unprotected sex with hookers is a nightly occurrence
MacGruber, he's a raging alcoholic

This is hitting the big screen? Limited release? This looks DTV.....

I guess Val Kilmer is happy to have a flick on the big screen again.

He can't fit into that bat suit no more......

I thought the one with Charles Barkley where MacGruber had to go to racial sensitivity classes was hilarious.

That said, the trailer looks like total crap.

LOL. Oh come on guys, its supposed to be how its made, that "dumb-funny" type. As I recall, the original Austin Powers got HORRIBLE reviews but you can't go anywhere and not hear someone quote a line from the movie. I think this will be like that.....
