It too often mistakes shock value for real humor, but MacGruber is better than many SNL films -- and better than it probably should be.

Taccone's 'MacGruber': Mainstream Esoterica
Top CriticA film that poses a philosophical question fundamental to our inquiry here, namely: "Why does this exist?"
Some of these two minute sketches look a little thin at 87 to 92 minutes.
You need a great character to make a bad thing good, and the action comedy MacGruber is sadly short on great characters.
While it would be unfair to saddle MacGruber with the "worst SNL movie of all-time" moniker (I can think of at least two that are more painful to endure), its place on the vaunted 2010 Worst 10 list is assured.
MacGruber is by no means a work of genius, or a piece of art, or even very good. But Forte and company have managed to make crude and lewd dunderheadedness laugh-out-loud funny here and there, and that, I guess, is something of an achievement.
"MacGruber" is an absolute waste of time and easily the worst movie of 2010.
It's not just him badly defusing bombs over and over. It's much stupider (and smarter) than that.
Bereft of any kind of laughs or remote giggles when not blatantly ripping off the Austin Powers mold...
My advice? Wear gloves, a surgical mask, and get the proper inoculations before entering the theatre. It's the first sexually transmitted comedy of the year.
This feature length version quickly outstays its welcome with uninspiring jokes and schoolboy humour.
Big-screen SNL skit explodes with crass humor, sex, blood.
It's Pat has a new rival for the title of "Worst SNL Movie."
Sleazy does it!
It achieves wit in a realm where stupidity is too often deemed sufficient.
It's further proof, as if any were needed, of SNL producer Lorne Michaels' contempt for the audience.
Will Forte, director Jorma Taccone, and the sublime Kristen Wiig triumph with their own brand of unique, risky lunacy
An avalanche of scatalogical humour and lame jokes that make the Austin Powers films look like masterpieces by comparison.
If you're a fan of the SNL sketch, you'll like what you see here, though newcomers might be left asking why they bothered to adapt it for the big screen at all.
Forte is likeable as the renegade good guy but the humour relies too heavily on blatantly telegraphed sight gags and villains with rude-sounding names.
