Will Forte, Ryan Phillippe and Val Kilmer in MacGruber Trailer

Brad Sturdivant January 19th, 2010

I had no idea how they were going to make a feature-length movie of the SNL character MacGruber, but if the trailer is any indication, they just might have found a way. I have to say I laughed more in this two minute trailer than I did in any of the skits or the horrible commercials. I was afraid they’d try too hard to make it a complete MacGyver spoof, but aside from the outfit and hair, I didn’t get that indication from the trailer. If you were hesitant about the film, check out the trailer and I think you might be surprised.

Joining Will Forte in the film are Ryan Phillippe (ed note: where has he been?), Val Kilmer, Kristen Wiig and Bill Hader. It’s directed by Jorma Taccone and will hit theaters April 23rd. Be forewarned that the trailer does contain foul language.
