MacGruber - The Filthy Critic

MacGruber, as seen through the eyes of The Filthy Critic

"It's unfair to lump Forte into the ninth circle of hell of miserable former Saturday Night Live performers like Chris Kattan and Horatio Sanz. Let's put him in the eighth circle, alongside Anthony Michael Hall and Kenan Thompson. Forte is scared shitless of subtlety. So scared you won't know he's being funny that he pushes every gag past the good part and into flop sweat. You rarely laugh because he's funny; you sometimes laugh because you know it's the reaction he wants."

"The prime reason MacGruber exists is because there are a shitload of clueless, imagination-free grassfuckers in Hollywood clinging to any project that sounds like a safe bet, no matter how shitty. They don't realize Saturday Night Live is like Oklahoma in the 1930s if comedy were crops."

"The movie is shot like a dried-up turd. I can't think of a single scene that was visually interesting, but I can remember several examples of closeups being too close, composition sucking ass and action being static. It wants to make fun of big action movies, but it's not competent enough to do it."
