Me, I'm easily amused (especially by cussing) so I was entertained well enough. I won't buy the blu-ray, but I laughed a fair bit at a lot of really stupid things and had a fine time.

Chris Jericho, MVP, Kane, Mark Henry, The Great Khali, and The Big Show are in it too. There's not nearly enough of them, but Jericho and Show are amazingly good.

I thought the movie might have some real promise because it was co-written by Jorma Taccone, and there are some good Lonely Island/Hot Rod-esque bits of inspired, purposeful weirdness and setting up conventions to defy them in a surreal way. Wiig, also good, and it's plain to see why there's Oscar buzz around Jericho's performance here. | Oliver

Wow. I just took a peek at Cinemaclock's listing of theatres in Quebec City. It's pathetic.
Not sure MacGruber's worth the trip down the 20 to Montreal. Your best bet would be trekking into Maine or something like that.
Oh well.

Val Kilmer was a delight as Cunth, though I can't help but notice his physical appearance reminded me more of Steven Seagal than anyone else.
Easily the best SNL movie since Wayne's World, like many critics say it is. Of course, that isn't exactly a difficult height to reach.
