Critic Reviews

Boxoffice Magazine Amy Nicholson

What makes Forte so funny is that he stalks through the flick cocksure and utterly deadpan. Read full review

Movieline Stephanie Zacharek

MacGruber never gathers any momentum. Once in a while a funny line or absurd sight gag will amble into the foreground, only to recede immediately in the rear-view mirror of memory. Read full review

Joe Leydon

How much mileage can a comedy get from a single joke? Quite a bit, judging from the guffaws-to-groaners ratio in MacGruber. Read full review

Steve Persall

Will Forte plays his pitifully deluded creation to the hilt in a penknife movie. There's a lot of material here that only occasionally succeeds on Forte's insanely focused performance. Read full review

Empire Nick de Semlyen

More Pistachio Disguisey than Austin Powers, this cheapjack comedy is nowhere near as ingenious as the man it sends up. Read full review

Kimberley Jones

The film goes by in a wash of uninspired action and unmemorable comedy. Read full review

A.O. Scott

The law of diminishing returns is enforced so stringently that the movie succeeds not only in negating its own comedy, but its very being. Read full review

Macgruber, for me, is one of the greatest comedies of the 21st century. Of course, it's not for everyone, but one thing is for sure – you haven't seen anything like it.

Can't wait for Macgruber 2!

The entire theatre, though only half full, managed to laugh harder and louder than any movie I can remember attending. Its crude, its rough, and its freaking funny.

I didn't have high expectations when going into this movie. I remember enjoying the Macgyver TV show as a kid. I also enjoyed the MacGruber skits on SNL.

I can honestly say that this is the worst movie I have ever enjoyed. It was nonstop. There were no depths to which they would not sink and everything they did was with full commitment. If you are already interested in seeing it, you probably wont be disappointed, but I can't really I can honestly say that this is the worst movie I have ever enjoyed. It was nonstop. There were no depths to which they would not sink and everything they did was with full commitment. If you are already interested in seeing it, you probably wont be disappointed, but I can't really recommend the movie to anyone. The SNL skit this was based on is unfunny and tedious, but during the movie I was never bored, and often in tears of astonishment and laughter.… Expand

It's funny that Hollywood keeps trying to make SNL skits into movies. News flash: it doesn't work. Another news flash: there are only so many f-bombs one can drop, so many sex-jokes one can make, so many completely overpowered explosions one can show, before they stop being funny and justIt's funny that Hollywood keeps trying to make SNL skits into movies.

I have seen literally 100's of movies, and this was by far the worst movie that I have ever seen. Was this movie written and directed by a bunch of junior high kids or what? The movie tries to be funny, but the only joke is on the people who bought tickets to this disaster.
