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

Variety - 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

Tampa Bay Times - 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

Austin Chronicle - Kimberley Jones

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

The New York Times - 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

So MacGruber is funny,well acted,well made and action packed.Will Forte is playing MacGruber perfectly and Val Kilmer played his role really well.Even though the end was over the top and some scenes (a lot of them actually) were unbelievable, the movie is still funny and entertaining.TheSo MacGruber is funny,well acted,well made and action packed.Will Forte is playing MacGruber perfectly and Val Kilmer played his role really well.Even though the end was over the top and some scenes (a lot of them actually) were unbelievable, the movie is still funny and entertaining.The only thing that I absolutely hated was the CGI blood.… Expand

This is not a movie that paces itself particularly well. 60 minutes of it's play time are kind of a mediocre bore, the other 39 are pure gross-out brilliance however. Seeing it won't be a total waste if you enjoy gross-out humor, but the long stretches in between the funny skits This is not a movie that paces itself particularly well. 60 minutes of it's play time are kind of a mediocre bore, the other 39 are pure gross-out brilliance however.

Just if you have not better to do in a rainy Sunday afternoon... Few laughs, tries to have the essence of Tropic Thunder but fails. Best parts are the car stereos one

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.
