"MacGruber Trailer" - First Look
"MacGruber" - In Movie Theaters April 16, 2010

"MacGruber" - How many movies based on Saturday Night Live skits have been hits at the movie box office? By hits, we mean popular enough to spawn a sequel - and/or remain in theaters for more than 2 weeks, before popping up on video or DVD almost immediately thereafter! Um, "Wayne's World." (And maybe "The Blue's Brothers"). Those are the ones, really. The only skit from Saturday Night Live that warranted a big screen incarnation. But how many movies have appeared at movie theaters over the past 35 years based on SNL skits?

"The Blue Brothers" - 1980 - $57 million gross
"Wayne's World" - 1992 - $122 million gross
"Wayne's World 2" - 1993 - $48 million gross
"Coneheads" - 1993 - $21 million gross
"It's Pat" - 1994 - $61,000 gross, yes - sixty one thousand dollars
"Stuart Saves His Family" - 1995 - $900,000 gross
"A Night At The Roxbury" - 1998 - $30 million gross
"Blues Bros. 2000" - 1998 - $14 million gross
"Superstar" - 1999 - $30 million gross
"The Ladies Man" - 2000 - $11 million gross
"MacGruber" - 2010 - TBD

It will have been 11 years when "MacGruber" - a simple minded spoof of the hit ABC 80s series MacGyver - hits the big screen since the last SNL skit appeared at a theater near you. Why the skit "MacGruber," arguably the worst ever featured on SNL, is now a big screen movie property, boggles anyone's mind.

Unless, in fact, it happens to become one of the highest grossing R-rated comedies ever to hit theaters. The movie "MacGruber" is an R-rated raunch fest, aimed at college kids and high school seniors. Lorne Michaels knows no shame, apparently.

Will we be eating crow or will "MacGruber" bomb spectacularly as the majority of SNL skits cum movies have? Stay tuned.

In the feature-length comedy "MacGruber" based on Will Forte's bumbling secret agent whose lack of skill and abundance of personal problems serve as a detriment to him (and those around him), the legendary, much decorated MacGruber is pulled out of retirement as a monk in Ecuador by a colonel, who needs him once more to fight on behalf of his country. This time the mission involves going up against the evil Cunth, who has a nuclear warhead; the mission is personal because Cunth killed MacGruber's bride.
