MacGRUBER Rekalled...


MacGRUBER is a perfect example of tempered expectations. I went into this film thinking it could be funny but expecting a failure. Much to my surprise was the funniest film I have seen in a long time.Twice I was laughing so hard I had tears. All in all a nice surprise, I had laughed at some of the trailer but I was afraid that it had shown all the best parts. That wasn't possible since this films was a hard R rating and those funny scenes couldn't be shown in the commercials. Will Forte is a rare actor who is willing to sacrifice any dignity for the humor of a scene and he goes to the extreme in this film, he is the driving force of this film. Amazing that a sometimes funny parody from Saturday Night Live about an 80's TV could be turned into a feature length film that is actually funny. If you are looking for a good comedy and that is definitely for adults then you can't go wrong with this one. Although I am eager to see this film again to see if my lowered expectations helped me appreciate this film more.
