MacGruber is a 2010 American action comedy film based on the Saturday Night Live sketch of the same name, itself a parody of action-adventure television series MacGyver. Jorma Taccone of the comedy trio The Lonely Island directed the film, which stars Will 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.
Originally scheduled for release on April 23, 2010, the film was instead released on May 21, 2010, grossing $9.3 million worldwide against a $10 million budget. The film has since been labeled a cult classic.[4][5]
