MacGruber (explosion)

Uh .... MacGruber movie?

[DirtyDeeds]

That is the worst idea I've ever heard. Seriously.

 

[Buck]

Will Forte is awful.

 

[Some Guy]

Don't kill me. I actually kinda, sorta chuckle at some of the MacGruber sketches.

I would not go see this movie if they paid me.

bad idea... bad bad bad.

 

[Herky_Jerky]

Will Forte is awful.

I vehemently disagree.

bad idea... bad bad bad.

But yes, this is Bad Idea Jeans.

I actually find MacGruber pretty amusing in 10-second bites, but this is just a horrendous idea. What's the worst SNL-based movie ever? Superstar? Night At The Roxbury?

There have been some famously bad SNL-inspired flicks.

This will make them look like Oscar winners.

 

[slappy4428]

Will Forte has to improve to be awful.

Fixed...

 

[JakeandElwood]

What the hell are they going to do for a full movie? Awful idea.

 

[BRoth]

The first few times MacGruber came on, I chuckled. Now when it's a regular bit, I will maybe chuckle the first time. This will be an epic fail if things move forward. I just don't understand why Lorne Michaels (or another producer, for that matter) would want to take the reigns on this one.

MacGruber reminds me, to use a newspaper analogy, of that columnist gimmick or long-running feature that your editor loves but everyone else in the newsroom mocks.

Someone important at SNL must love this skit; can't see many else agreeing.

 

[Grimace]

I'm holding out for "Laser Cats: The Movie."

 

[Seahawk]

As for worst SNL-based movie, Stuart Saves His Family and It's Pat are well out in front of the field.

A Night at the Roxbury?!? You bite your tongue!

 

[Football_Bat]

Unfunny! (explosion)

I watched It's Pat whenever it came out on VHS in 95ish. I remember nothing about that movie except it wasn't funny and I think there's a guy who follows him/her around and spends the final act of the movie trying to initiate sex. Could be making that all up.

 

[Trouser_Buddah]

Maybe it could have a Looney Tunes feel to it, where the movie is simply a series of MacGruber deaths, ala Wile E. Coyote.

Still... FAIL.
