    Storyline

    Edit
    In the Dzhugdzhur Mountains, Eastern Siberia, the criminal Dieter Von Cunth steals a Russian X5 nuclear warhead. Colonel James Faith travels to Rio Bamba, Ecuador, with the efficient Lieutenant Dixon Piper to summon the retired special operative MacGruber to retrieve the X5. MacGruber is considered deceased after the death of his beloved wife Casey by his archenemy Cunth in their wedding. MacGruber teams up with Piper and Vicki St. Elmo and they learn that the evil Cunth intends to use the warhead to destroy Washington D.C. —Claudio Carvalho, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil

      [long silence]

      MacGruber: I will suck your dick, I will suck your fucking dick, just join my team. I'll suck your dick, you can fuck me, you can get fucked by me. You can watch me fuck something? Just point at something in the room and I'll fuck it for you! Just tell me what you want me to fuck!

    Laughed myself silly
    I went to see this film with absolutely no knowledge of what it was about. I was more then pleasantly surprised.

    The set pieces were obvious and you could see what was going to happen ages before it actually happened but that didn't stop this film being funny.

    I laughed myself silly on numerous occasions.

    THe premise is fairly self explanatory, they tell you whats going on in the first 5 minutes. The characters are a bit one dimensional but MacGruber, his side kicks played by the brilliant Kristen Wiig and the ever handsome Ryan Phillipe were very funny and a great foil for the stupidness that was MacGruber.

    This film is definitely not going to win any Oscars or be lasting in your memory but for the duration of the film you will be entertained.

    Only go and see if you like this type of Superbad or Role Model-esquire type of films.

    Leave your brain at the door and you'll be sorted.
