MacGruber! Coming to the Big Screen, MacGruber!

Hmm. I’m thinking this is probably a bad idea. Recurring Saturday Night Live skit MacGruber - a MacGyver parody - will be hitting the big screen.
The skit features Will Forte as the original MacGyver’s son, MacGruber. In each episode, he’s in a room with ticking bomb that’s about to go off. He gets distracted by unimportant matters, the bomb goes off, the skit’s over. It all takes about 45 seconds, if that. Oh yeah, and Kristen Wiig plays his assistant.
A 90-minute movie it shan’t make! Sorry, I talk like that sometimes.
The movie will supposedly follow MacGruber as he’s pulled out of retirement as a monk in Ecuador by a colonel who needs him to fight on behalf of his country. They’ll be fighting against a character named Cunth, who killed MacGruber’s bride.
BORING!
Lorne Michaels, are you listening? DON’T MAKE THIS MOVIE! Saturday Night Live skit-to-movies are notoriously terrible, with the exception of Wayne’s World.
Ryan Phillippe and Val Kilmer are both in talks to appear in the feature film. Whaeva.
