So MacGruber....
Boy, that looks like I will wait for cable...

It could be funny but more than likely a skit that is way too long...

1. I think chewing aluminum foil will be more fun than that movie.
Seriously, what's the percentage of SNL skits-made-into-movies that have actually been funny?

If that percentage were a batting average, the player would be kicked down to AA ball...

2. Even the recurring sketches are way too long
I can't imagine two hours of it.

3. I like how they blaze headline on the commercial like Best Comdey Action
Movie Since Beverly Hills Cops...

and the source of the quote is so small you can't even kind of maybe make it out...

6. The best SNL skit action-comedy movie parodying a TV show
since forever!

4. It could be funny - in small doses
My guess is if you made it into a YouTube series, it might work

But its obvious they are playing the "McGyver" thing - which is pretty shallow

How can you keep everyone interested in that for 90+ minutes?
