If Kilmer is in it, that could be fun.

And the skit was always the same joke! Man, let's draw that out into a full-length feature. If it worked for Night at the Roxbury...
Although Val Kilmer is such an incredible goofball these days, so there's that.

Yeah, it worked well for Night at the Roxbury, as It's Pat, or Stuart Saves His Family, or Ladies Man.Originally Posted by TomChick
MacGruber has his work cut out for him. Fortunately the expectation bar is low.
Just when you thought Universal couldn't top Asteroids, they did.
Damnit, I was hoping for a full length Debbie Downer movie.
At least it isn't going to be two hours of the ambiguously gay Duo. I wouldn't mind two hours of Fey Palining around.
Stuart Saves His Family kicks ass, it's the third best Harold Ramis movie
Will Richard Dean Anderson be making a cameo as Magruber's father?
The only tolerable thing about that movie was the lovely Laura San Giacomo. The rest was the cimematic equivalent of a shit smear on a diaper.
Karen Chu saw it at South by Southwest and she seemed to like it.
Actually, her review was a little weird. She said that she laughed almost constantly throughout the entire movie and that she and her husband spent the next week quoting it at one another, but that it was dumb. Which sounds like an A++ to me.
Also, Night at the Roxbury rocked.
After watching that trailer I might have to see it after all... looks like my kind of stupid.
This.
Me and my brother still respond to "Are you guys brothers?" question without skipping a beat.
Thank you, I was about to post how everyone here sucks because they didn't like it, but at least now two other people don't suck.
Did you grab my ass?
From where I'm standing that would be a physical impossibility.
We need to start a Night at the Roxbury fan club.
Either that or we shit up this thread with quotes from it.
Mr. Griko, you see right through me.
Saw this today. It was ***terrible***. I really wanted it to be good. Sigh.
I call bullshit on this movie if it doesn't end with everybody blowing up while he's in mid-sentence.
I can't imagine how anyone who saw the TV ads for this could have ever expected it to be even remotely watchable.
When the best line they can throw on the screen as the last line, the one they want the viewers to remember and attract them to the movie, was "That means its a Number 2!", doesn't that pretty much just spell "god-awful" for the movie as a whole?
It's been getting surprisingly positive reviews, so I'm a bit surprised that the people who've seen it so far are so negative.
It's apparently not doing well at the box office, though, which is not really a surprise given that the latest Shrek is out this weekend.
Edit: Opening weekend estimates are around $4m US box office, which is a horrible result.

How'd Kristen Wiig do?
I am still tempted to see this. It held on at Rotten Tomatoes at over 50% for awhile, but now it has sunk below that. I'm sure it will be stupid as hell, but it can still be funny. Those quiet, gnawing doubts seem to be winning the battle, though.
"EMEEEELLLIIIOOOOOOO"
After watching the commercial, i can't imagine how this could be anything but horrible.
I loved this. I couldn't stop laughing throughout most of the movie. I wasn't the only one laughing in the theater, either. It's not for everyone, but some people will definitely find it hugely funny.
A nice gag is the tiger roar that accompanies explosions. There are all kinds of callbacks to 80s action flicks and such.
