MacGruber (2010)

A classic example of the previews being better than the actual movie. And it's usually the previews that are to blame—once you've heard the 10 funniest lines over and over, the result is crickets chirping in the theater when you finally hear them in the context of the film.

That was the case today. It was me and like 5-6 other single dudes sitting appropriately apart from each other, silently, for the most of this extended SNL skit. It never came together. The actors and writers obviously thought this was much funnier than it really was—like most movies based on SNL skits. I don't know why I even bother to see comedies that aren't related in some way or another to the Apatow crew. This was a big let down.
