Only one American hero has earned the rank of Green Beret, Navy SEAL and Army Ranger. Just one operative has been awarded 16 purple hearts, 3 Congressional Medals of Honor and 7 presidential medals of bravery. And only one guy is man enough to still sport a mullet. In 2010, Will Forte brings Saturday Night Live's clueless soldier of fortune to the big screen in the action comedy MacGruber.
Pundits are already scouring the schedules for what this year’s possibly comedy breakout movie could be. Last year it was The Hangover. Will this year’s be the R-rated MacGruber movie, spun out of Saturday Night Live's takeoff of MacGyver . Starring Will Forte in the title role, the film version has also sucked in Val Kilmer, Ryan Phillippe and Kristen Wiig. MacGruber will be an action comedy, and one that's happily shooting for an R-rating. This is a good thing, and the solid red band trailer that's doing the rounds does at least show promise.

Looks like the best SNL-based comedy since Wayne's World and that was like 20 years ago? The shorts play well as 3 minute skits, but can that carry a movie, even if it is a parody of the `80's classic? |
