The Rio Theatre‘s Friday Late Night Movie series continues on March 4 with one of the biggest sleeper cult-comedies to come out of Lorne Michaels’ SNL Movie Factory in a while: MACGRUBER. Will Forte stars as the eponymous hero, an Army Ranger, Green Beret and Navy SEAL rolled into one who, in the decade since his fiancee was killed, has sworn off fighting crime (preferring instead to rock his mullet as a man of peace). But when his sworn enemy, Dieter Von Cunth, steals a nuclear warhead, only MacGruber and his crack team of experts (Kristen Wiig, Ryan Phillippe) are equal to the task of bringing the villain to justice.

“Any fans of satire who haven’t checked out MacGruber yet, prepare to be converted into believers like the man himself when he finally uses a gun for the first time.” (Vulture)

“It’s pretty fantastic.” (The Stranger)
