As crude and as dumb as some of it is, the movie gets laughs, some of them guilty ones, when it is spoofing the action genre. -deseretnews.com

How the hell can you take an SNL skit that runs 90 seconds and stretch it to a 90-minute feature? Sounds excruciating. But MacGruber breaks the jinx by putting the skit in the context of a 1980s action movie and creating its own brand of explosive lunacy.-Rolling Stone

MacGruber is crude. It’s obscene. The dialogue is puerile and the jokes adolescent. And for the most part, it’s hilarious: a bawdy riot drunk on impropriety, which is why the movie works. -Premiere

The Mixed and less favorable reviews in the media.

There is no story, no writing in MacGruber. Its entire success or failure is dependant on if you think these characters acting like idiots and making lewd remarks tickles your funny bone. It works for many, but it does not work for me. “-ugo.com

Kilmer makes a worthy, if somewhat underscripted villain. And some of the bits — MacGruber idiotically setting traps that the bad guys never fall for — tickle. But this still feels instantly dated, a “Hot Rod in a Role Models” era. -Orlando Sentinel

There’s a reason you’ve never seen the words “Will Forte” topping the billing of a major motion picture. After the throbbing flameball of unfunny that is MacGruber, you never will again.”-New York Post
