MACGRUBER [2010]

I almost always loathe SNL cast member films, so I didn't expect to enjoy Will Forte's MacGruber film at all.
I was pleasantly surprised.  
Instead of trying to stretch out the MacGuyver parody sketch into 1½ hours, the film goes for more of a action/thriller spoof along the lines of the 80's comedy Top Secret!  It's not highbrow humor or anything but the cast has a surprisingly great chemistry and the comedy is very well paced.  
It's really dumb...but also, really funny.
