MacGruber Extended Version is a 2010 American parody action-comedy film directed by Jorma Taccone and starring Will Forte, Kristen Wiig, and Val Kilmer. The movie is a spin-off of a series of Saturday Night Live sketches featuring Will Forte as the titular character, MacGruber, a clueless and arrogant special ops agent who is constantly getting himself and his team into trouble.
The film begins with MacGruber living a secluded life in Ecuador after the death of his team during a botched mission in which he was the only survivor. However, when a former nemesis named Dieter Von Cunth (Val Kilmer) steals a nuclear warhead and threatens to destroy Washington D.C., MacGruber is recruited once again to save the day.
With the help of his loyal team members, including his former lover Vicki St. Elmo (Kristen Wiig) and rookie operative Lt. Dixon Piper (Ryan Phillippe), MacGruber sets out to stop Von Cunth and save the country from annihilation.
The movie is a hilarious spoof of the action genre, poking fun at the cliches and tropes of films like Die Hard and Rambo while also paying homage to them. Will Forte's performance as MacGruber is both ridiculous and endearing, as he constantly puts himself and his team in danger while also managing to save the day through sheer dumb luck.
Kristen Wiig shines as Vicki St. Elmo, a quirky and awkward inventor who is constantly coming up with bizarre gadgets to assist MacGruber in his missions. Her chemistry with Forte is palpable, and the two have some of the movie's funniest scenes together.
Val Kilmer is also a standout as the villainous Von Cunth, delivering a performance that is both menacing and comedic. The supporting cast, including Ryan Phillippe, Maya Rudolph, and Powers Boothe, all do an excellent job in their respective roles, adding to the film's overall hilarity.
One of the most impressive aspects of the movie is its action scenes, which are both thrilling and absurd at the same time. The film never takes itself too seriously, and the action sequences are over-the-top and cartoonish, making them all the more entertaining.
The extended version of the movie includes additional scenes and jokes that were not included in the theatrical release, making it even funnier and more absurd. Fans of the original sketches and those who appreciate a good parody will likely enjoy this movie immensely.
Overall, MacGruber Extended Version is a hilarious and entertaining film that pokes fun at the action genre while also paying tribute to it. Will Forte and Kristen Wiig deliver standout performances, and the supporting cast is equally excellent. The action scenes are both thrilling and ridiculous, and the film's non-stop humor makes it a must-watch for fans of comedy.
