Oh boy here we go, we have another Saturday Night Live skit being turned into a movie. This has had some good and tragic consequences in the past for SNL. For example:
All You Need Is Cash
The Blues Brothers
Wayne's World
Wayne's World 2
Coneheads
It's Pat
Stuart Saves His Family
A Night at the Roxbury
Blues Brothers 2000
Superstar
The Ladies Man
Only a couple were big, there are a lot more flops in that list than hits. But I am actually optimistic about Macgruber.
The red band trailer for Macgruber i found quite hilarious and early reviews seem positive (100% on Rotten Tomatoes after 6 reviews). I think a lot of people are going to be surprised by what Macgruber has to offer to audiences. There hasn't been a good SNL movie in a long time, but I think this will be a successful comedy as well. The cast is stellar including Will Forte, Kirsten Wiig and Ryan Phillipe. It looks like a great, over the top, action comedy that won't take itself too seriously.
Macgruber hits theaters May 21st, 2010.
