MacGruber DVD And BLURAY Release Details

Only one American hero has earned the rank of Green Beret, Navy Seal and Army Ranger.  Just one operative has been awarded 16 purple hearts, three Congressional medals of honor and seven presidential medals of bravery.  And only one guy is man enough to still sport a mullet . . . MacGruber!   Acclaimed as “‘Wildly Entertaining” by Slant Magazine, MacGruber debuts on Blu-Ray™, DVD, Digital Download and On-Demand on September 7, 2010 from Universal Studios Home Entertainment.  Both the Blu-ray™ and the DVD release of MacGruber will contain two versions of the movie – the shockingly outrageous, never-before-seen unrated version, as well as the original theatrical version.

Starring Will Forte (Baby Mama, Saturday Night Live), Kristen Wiig (Despicable Me, Saturday Night Live), Val Kilmer (Deja vu, Batman Returns) and Ryan Phillippe (Crash, Cruel Intentions), MacGruber is so over-the-top it “makes The Hangover look like Beaches” (Mike Sampson, JoBlo.com).  In the 10 years since his fiancee was killed, special op MacGruber has sworn off a life of fighting crime with his bare hands.  But when he learns that his country needs him to find a nuclear warhead that’s been stolen by his sworn enemy, Dieter Von Cunth, MacGruber figures he’s the only one tough enough for the job.
