macgruber movie

and no guns either. occasionally characters are forced to hurry.

hats and doors

really enjoy watching macgyver with my children. never really watched it when it was on.

good 2 know lagoon

just #fyi

This and Observe & Report live in a similar place in my heart, since both take a standard action hero plot and amp the lead's cluelessness to hysterical degrees, while keeping the supporting characters' intelligence at standard levels and forcing them to deal with this lunatic.

the main thing i remember abt the other guys is marky mark in tight throwback graphic tees, it may have secretly been an old navy ad now that i think abt it

The Other Guys had a lot of great moments but was really fucking sloppy and indulgent in comparison to this

that... is an amazing statement

brb, boggling

are you saying that the other guys is a tightly-plotted movie or that it's absurd a movie could have more loose ends and unrewarding bits than MacGruber?

it's absurd that a movie could be more indulgent than Macgruber, or really any SNL character film

when I say "sloppy and indulgent" I'm not talking about riffs that go on for a long time (which MacGruber certainly has), but stuff like Will Ferrell hollering for an MRI in a manner that's more Generic Will Ferrell than the character he's supposed to be playing and needless subplots about Mark Wahlberg's marital status. MacGruber's pretty damn focused and character-centric in comparison!

also, considering The Other Guys was made by a former SNL star and SNL head writer, I'm really comparing two movies within that genre.

okay that I totally buy/understand

it is amazing to me how funny Kristin Wiig is outside of SNL

She's great in anything as long as it's not a sketch where she's a wacky lady who does one thing over and over and everyone else on the stage is saying "hey look it's a wacky lady who does one thing over and over".

every snl skit ever

although I'm not gonna lie, the "don't make me sing" skit cracks me up every single time

needless subplots about Mark Wahlberg's marital status

needless? he learned ballet sarcastically, iirc that's the core of the character/movie/lyfe

yeah i agree

i really enjoyed the other guys and i don't nec. need ilx to ruin it for me

there's a thread that's p much a love-in about the other guys, perk yourself up there imo

Anticipate the heck out of THE OTHER GUYS

think there may have been another one tho

the other guys had its moments but i dont think they really understood how to utilize wahlburg fully

although I'm not gonna lie, the "don't make me sing" skit cracks me up every single time

my dear friend u need to reassess

the ballet was great, i'm just saying the plot added up to a whole lot of nothing. also didn't give Steve Coogan anything funny to do despite his long screentime, no similar waste of comedian in macgruber.

lol goole

Val Kilmer was just perfect in this movie, so hilarious

will never forgive kilmer for replacing will arnett as voice of KITT in revamped knight rider.

no redemption for iceman.

you will never forgive Val Kilmer for throwing himself onto a land mine for Will Arnett?

Kilmer's career tanking has been pretty sad

Other Guys was awesome. never even considered seeing this macgruber movie, but I do love the conceit of a character who dies at the end of every sketch

i'm just saying the plot added up to a whole lot of nothing

i choose to believe that this was a conscious decision tbh

It's an absolutely terrible movie with several bits that will make you laugh until your head hurts. I'm actually puzzled as to how that works, because I mean the movie is TERRIBLE but also HILARIOUS.

this is otm

The scene where MacGruber tells the story of why Kuntz hates him is all-time. Tried to find the clip online,. but no dice...

ya, so so good, that was the point that i realized hey this is awesome

what kidn of weird cyberworld living room was that filmed in

was thinking maybe its something to fool the programs they have to scan for copyrighted material, like how the angle changes and so forth

it was really weird and made me feel like i was living in the future tbh

was it cool or no

kinda, but in a scary way

the oddness of this video made me wish brak or zorak was macgruber's conversation partner instead.

quality movie experience

summer to do list:
cheese it
watch this movie again

fuck you dickhead

just tell me what you want me to fuuuuck

Got my brother to buy a copy of this for himself after only seeing about 2/3rds at Christmastime

val kilmer and powers boothe are stone pros but man the desperation coming off ryan philippe

Holy shit, most episodes of "The A-Team" were funnier than this. It's an incredible anti-movie, some sort of weird negative achievement.

hater

kinda want 2 tthrow u thru plate glass rite now
