Free Macgrubber Movie
Many a times the makers of a film be it comedy or an action movie make the film to reach out to a wide audience but sometimes the target is a specific group of people in the audience as well. There have been many Hollywood movies based on these two genres that have been successful in the past while there have been others as well which have totally flopped. Action comedies provide entertainment to a larger group though this does not mean that the movie will necessarily be a success since there are other ingredients for a successful movie.
Directed by Jorma Taccone and written by Jorma Taccone, Will Forte and John Solomon the movie Macgruber is an American action comedy film which seemed like a hit before it was released. The movie is based on the NBC television series Saturday Night Live sketch Macgruber and it released on May 21, 2010. The movie has been edited by Jamie Gross while Rogue pictures have done the distribution of the film. It should be noted that the TV series was also created by Jorma Taccone.
Macgruber is based on the character of Macgruber, a brave heart having a number of medals under his name and who has also supported a number of ranks. The special operator has fought crime with his bare hands, living the life in a similar way ever since his fiance was killed 10 years ago A nuclear warhead has been stolen by Dieter Von Cunth, his enemy and to catch hold of the enemy and to get the warhead back, he is required by his country. He assembles a team of experts consisting of Lt. Dixon Piper and Vicki St. Elmo and uses his unorthodox methods to solve the serious situation the country is facing.
Will Forte plays the title role of Macgruber while Val Kilmer plays the role of his sworn enemy Dieter Von Cunth. Ryan Phillippe plays the role of Lt. Dixon Piper and Kristen Wiig plays the role of Vicki St. Elmo in his team. WWE wrestlers like Kane, Mark Henry, The Big Show, The Great Khali, M.V.P and Chris Jericho have also played small cameos in the movie. The movie also has Maya Rudolph and Power Boothe in significant roles.
Some scenes of the movie make you feel that too much of an effort has been put in to get the humor and at these places the movie lacks. Certain nude scenes in the movie instead of making you laugh, make you feel embarrassed. The raw treatment which has been given to the script without following any previously traveled paths gets the fun going despite the above factors.
The storyline is regarding a super talented army man who comes out of his shell for his country and like the dialogues which do not have anything new to offer is predictable. The treatment that has been given to the story and the way Forte has acted in the movie makes the movie likable and enjoyable. The movie is an interesting one because of the last two factors.
The movie may not be remembered for long after its release but if you have nothing to do and want to watch a fresh attempt at comedy, Macgrubber will be worth a try. The film is a good experiment and whether it is a hit or flop should not matter much.
