Trailer for MacGruber

I never envisioned the SNL skit “MacGruber” would be turned into a movie. It seems like most everyone that hears about this expects it to be terrible and its tough to argue against that. Personally I’ve never found the skits to be funny at all. That being said there is actually some buzz around this movie that it pushes unexpected limits and has gotten great response in test screenings. The first trailer came out today and somewhat surprisingly being red band it implies the movie will have an R rating. MacGruber is slated to release on April 23rd.

When he learns that his country needs him to find a nuclear warhead that’s been stolen by his sworn enemy, Dieter Von Cunth, MacGruber figures he’s the only one tough enough for the job. Assembling an elite team of experts (Lt. Dixon Piper and Vicki St. Elmo) MacGruber will navigate an army of assassins to hunt down Cunth and bring him to justice. His methods may be unorthodox. His crime scenes may get messy. But if you want the world saved right, you call in MacGruber.
