MacGruber

MacGruber is a 2010 American action comedy film based on the Saturday Night Live sketch of the same name, which itself was a parody of action-adventure television series MacGyver. Directed by Jorma Taccone (in his directorial debut) and written by Taccone, Will Forte, and John Solomon, it stars Forte in the title role; Kristen Wiig as Vicki St. Elmo, MacGruber's work partner and love interest; Ryan Phillippe as Dixon Piper, a young lieutenant who becomes part of MacGruber's team; Maya Rudolph as Casey, MacGruber's deceased wife; and Val Kilmer as Dieter von Cunth, the villain. The film expands the sketch's premise into a deadpan send-up of 1980s and 1990s action cinema, drawing inspiration from films such as Lethal Weapon.
