In the decade since his fiancée was killed, an Army Ranger, Green Beret and Navy SEAL rolled into one has sworn off fighting crime, preferring instead to rock his mullet as a man of peace. But when his sworn enemy, Dieter Von Cunth, steals a nuclear warhead, only MacGruber and his crack team of experts are equal to the task of bringing the villain to justice.

What to Know

Critics Consensus

It too often mistakes shock value for real humor, but MacGruber is better than many SNL films -- and better than it probably should be.

Anthony Quinn Independent (UK) 03/30/2019
Kristen Wiig lends it a bit of class as the hero's moll, Vicki St Elmo, but Forte is a pain, the scatological crudity unrelenting, and the air of pointlessness unignorable. Go to Full Review Paul Gent Daily Telegraph (UK) 03/30/2019
A brash, intermittently funny, but predictably disposable movie, just about good enough for a switch-off-brain DVD rental. Go to Full Review Kate Muir The Times (UK) 03/30/2019
An action-comedy-thriller (although the term "dud" is better), MacGruber is based on a recurring American Saturday Night Live sketch -- a joke funny for 20 seconds, but not 99 minutes. Go to Full Review Brian Eggert Deep Focus Review 08/18/2023
2/4
This is an action-comedy that forgot the action part of its equation, leaving only the base comedy to entertain us. Unfortunately, that isn’t enough. Go to Full Review Rene Jordan El Nuevo Herald (Miami) 08/04/2022
The result of such incomparable incompetence dares to repeat the worst of its jokes. [Full review in Spanish] Go to Full Review Matt Brunson Film Frenzy 05/30/2021

Viewers will eventually be struck by the realization that Requiem for a Dream and Precious: Based on the Novel Push by Sapphire combined contained more belly laughs. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Adam T @Astaykor1178 Feb 23 Funniest movie I have seen in a long time. Some jokes may be repetitive (the car stereo) but they honestly hit hard when timed right. I miss good comedies, and this one doesn’t disappoint. Haven't laughed so hard in a while. See more Oaklee D @ODie63 Dec 29 It was a bad movie but it did get some laughs out of me. See more Ian F. @thismeansguerra Oct 1 There are laughs, but it’s not as good as other SNL skits made in the movies See more Matt C @RT13518362 Aug 22 Absolutely must see! See more Stephen C @bob25009 Jul 12 Funny action movie in 1.5 hours. See more Ed R @JustcallmeER Jun 2 Very typical SNL humor. A terrible knock off of MacGyver. See more Read all reviews
