SNL's MacGruber! to be made into movie

[LutherSloan]

So this will be right up there with the other SNL achievements in cinematic history like "It's Pat" and "Superstar"?

It's probably below those two, sadly...

Doesn't seem right to make a MacGyver parody movie before making a straight MacGyver movie.

I have to agree.
Those spoof movies are awful...I didn't see it but that Meet The Spartans one seemed silly primarily because they're sticking it to one movie, 300.
A satire/spoof should at least make the audience say " Yeah! I'm glad they're making fun of that stuff from ( ) type of movie!"
Like Airplane!!

Wouldn't the humor be completely lost on the target audience of this?

 

[Michael Chris]

What do you mean?

 

[Mr. Adventure]

Maybe the movie will be 180 30-second MacGruber spots.

 

[Yoda]

Val Kilmer and Ryan Philippe?

Good luck with that, SNL asshats!

 

[Roger Wilco]

Maybe the movie will be 180 30-second MacGruber spots.

That would be kind of avantgarde at least.

The only thing funny about the short skits is the way they begin and end. A full-length feature will most sincerely suck monkey balls.

Judging on past SNL movies, their target audience seems to be high school/college age. MacGyver ended early 90s, when they were probably too young to really appreciate, let alone remember, the show.

The only good SNL-based films were Blues Brothers and Wayne's World. Wayne's World 2 was decent but the rest are tripe.

Nice. Take a 5 minute skit from SNL and expand it to 90+ minutes.,,and produce crap. Of course nowadays SNL takes a funny one minute joke and stretches it out to 5 about every week so it's par for the course.

True, although you can argue that the Waterboy is basically Adam Sandler doing Canteen Boy from SNL.

^^
But that movie sucked too.

Agreed, though I did like the Canteen Boy sketch with Alec Baldwin.

Cool, but I'm still waiting on the Target movie.
