As we all know, MACGRUBER Movie is happening. Some say the SNL sketch is hilarious while others may think it’s downright dumb. Of course, Will Forte is hoping this could be the vehicle that would make him the next comedy movie star, SNL godfather Lorne Michaels is always ready to help his little workers that are longing for that big screen chance of a lifetime (Wayne’s World, Night at the Roxbury, The Ladies Man, Superstar)
According to Hollywood Reporter, a talentless poster boy and a has-been are cast in MACGRUBER Movie. Ok, fine, I’ll type their names.. Ryan Phillippe and Val Kilmer.
The SNL sketch is a spoof of MacGyver, the twist is, MACGRUBER and his partner, played by Kristen Wiig, find themselves in a control room with a ticking bomb but before MACGRUBER can make something out of nothing, he gets distracted by personal issues and the bomb goes off, that’s basically how every short episode ends.
The movie version written by Forte, John Solomon and the creator of the character, Jorma Taccome, who will be directing. The story centers on legendary MACGRUBER, pulled out of retirement as a monk in Ecuador by a colonel, who needs him to fight on behalf of his country by going up against the evil Cunth, who has a nuclear warhead; the mission is personal because Cunth killed MacGruber’s bride.
Phillippe will play Piper, an Army officer forced to pair up with a reluctant MacGruber. Kilmer would be Cunth. That villain’s name is going to be the only actual funny thing about this movie.

Agree. I’d rather see a McGyver movie (ugh) before this piece of crap.
