Hot Rod (which had the same director) had a terrible unappealing trailer/premise and turned out to be hilarious and crazy, so I can see this being good.

my bad -- each was directed by a different non-Samberg Lonely Island dude. i'm sure they make pretty similar movies anyway.
― some dude, Tuesday, 18 May 2010 19:15 (3 years ago) Permalink
this looks fucking awful
this. the only thing i ever liked from will forte is an snl skit where he plays the dazed, semi-responsive spelling bee contestant. can't find actual video, but here's the audio.

SNL alums make plenty of great movies, but I seriously can't remember the last time an SNL CHARACTER made a good movie. when I saw the preview for this I was just surprised that they were already giving a vehicle to Forte. But I guess time flies a the laff factory that is SNL

this is definitely more "it'd be fun/ridiculous to do a MacGruber movie" than "Will Forte is such a rising star we have to bottle his lightening while he's still on SNL"

will forte epitomizes what i don't like about snl now. the default emotion underlying the older snl cast members (70s, and to some extent, the early 80s) was flippancy to seething anger. the default emotion underlying the new snl cast members is an eagerness-to-please to total befuddlement.

Dane Cook is angry that he has one funny joke.
