MacGruber Review
This SNL adaptation misses even the most obvious of opportunities. What’s left is as pieced together as one of its hero’s many "gadgets".

The true story of, get this, a loving, humanitarian Nazi. John Rabe was a man who, partly because of circumstance and partly because of strong character, saved 200,000 innocent lives. All hail the good-guy Nazi.
A young Orthodox Jew from Brooklyn unwittingly becomes involved in a drug ring. It’s supposed to be insightful and scary, but it’s schlock from start to finish.
Michael Douglas channels his film (and perhaps off-screen) persona as a womanizer in this downbeat look inside the inner workings of a totally self-absorbed man. It’s Douglas’ best performance in years.
Irish comedy/gangster flick misses more than it hits, but a great performance by Jim Broadbent in a supporting role ensures that at least part of the bounty gets paid.
A down-on-his-luck soccer fan, confronted with potentially dire consequences, fights the good fight with the aid of his mates and an imaginary buddy. It will leave you smiling and laughing.
While not as compelling or original as the first film, this fourth and final chapter provides an amusing and enjoyable conclusion to the animated series.
Russell Crowe and Cate Blanchett are worth the price of the ticket in this fresh reboot of an endlessly told tale.
There’s nothing alive – or redeeming in the slightest, for that matter – in this overacted, unpleasant film.
A real-life princess from Hawaii (pre-statehood) was an important part of both Hawaiian and American history but this princess does not deserve her tiara.
