MacGruber the movie?

I haven’t watched “Saturday Night Live” in years – or if I have, it’s merely been a repeat – so I’m not familiar with the “MacGruber” sketch, but by the looks/sounds of it, it’s Will Forte taking the piss out of 80s classic “MacGyver”, right?

Is there enough in there for a movie? Can the joke be stretched to 90 minutes?

“SNL” producer Lorne Michaels tells THR he’s looking to do a feature-film version of “MacGruber” with Will Forte.

Besides “The Blues Brothers” and “Wayne’s World”, most of the films that have been inspired by “Saturday Night Live” sketches – be it “The Ladies Man”, “Coneheads”, “Superstar”, “It’s Pat” or “Stuart Saves His Family” – have crashed-and-burned at the box office. Wonder what’s got Michaels think this one will be any different? Is it the star-power of, er, Forte?
