User Reviews

A recent movie spoof thats funny?

Hell yes to this movie, this has to be one of the greatest stupid comedy films I've seen in a long time. By stupid funny I mean it was the comedy you would see in airplane and naked gun type films. The story line is one of those cliché good guy versus bad guy plot but the story doesn't seem to really matter in this film and I didn't really care about that this time. The actor who played MacGruber fitted the role exceptionally great and was just what the film needed.If you ever liked Airplane and Naked Gun I suggest watching this film. Real crack up. There are a few parts where it seemed there needed to be more gags but none the less this movie did not lack those parts anyway.
