With looming word that a big screen MacGyver adaptation was in the works, I was very surprised to hear that they were making a movie based on the Saturday Night Live spoof MacGruber.
Well we get our first look at the characters of MacGruber on set:
While I am curious about seeing an updated MacGyver film and how they would make it NOT cheesey, it seems MacGruber is going to cling to that cheese and add an extra layer. I like Kristen Wiig as a flavour supporting cast. She does make me laugh, but I don’t know that she could carry a whole film on her own.
While we are at it, I have enjoyed a number of SNL alum films (Baby Momma surprised the hell out of me), but with the exception of Waynes World, I have not cared one bit for movies based on the actual characters of SNL skits.
I fear MacGruber is just one more of those.
