201090 min5.4 / 10

A gleefully absurd action-comedy parody that mines humor from incompetence, ridiculous character names, and the subversion of spy-thriller tropes.

Ex-special operative MacGruber is called back into action to take down his archenemy, Dieter Von Cunth, who's in possession of a nuclear warhead and bent on destroying Washington, DC.
