The R-Rating is probably going to mean they actually have some more leeway to express Forte's acerbic wit.
It's only 6 reviews, bound to go down. Though I am somebody who is looking forward to watching this and don't get people who think it will be outright terrible.
Saw this today and loved it. If you DON'T like stupid, raunchy humor: stay away. A lot of the good stuff (as usual) was in the trailers, but I still laughed a lot. Really impressed with Forte's foul mouth and love making abilities.
Why does everyone insist on trying to trick me? Its not gonna work this time I will not see this movie.
I heard on the radio that this broke the record for worst opening weekend for any wide-release movie. The SNL skits are awful, so I can only imagine how bad a 30-second skit got stretched out over 90 minutes.
I'm sticking by it. I enjoyed it. 'MacGruber' Sets All-Time Box Office Low for 'SNL'-Based Big Screen Features "MacGruber," a parody of the 1980s series "MacGyver," set a new low in the undistinguished commercial history of movies based on "Saturday Night Live" skits. The inexpensive Rogue Pictures film, which was distributed by Universal Pictures, opened to a dismal $4.1 million. That's the smallest opening ever for an "SNL" movie in wide release, below even the opening of "The Blues Brothers" in 1980 when ticket prices were a fraction of what they are today. It's also the worst debut for any movie in wide release so far in 2010. http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/ent...on-fourth-go-round-while-macgruber-bombs.html
Just seeing the commercials is enough to make me dislike it. The skits on SNL were horrible....not even a smirk from me or my GF. And I normally love stupid humor....
