I really like the MacGruber sketch, but I'm a bit afraid to see the movie.

Most SNL sketches are pretty funny for 2 minutes, but not so much for 2 hours, in my opinion.

The ones I've seen:

The Blues Brothers... definitely the best one. Very funny.

Wayne's World... also good. Quite funny, but didn't warrant a sequel.

Wayne's World 2... not good. Tried to capitalize on the success of the first, obviously, but fell far short for me. Also cost more to make and grossed far less $.

Coneheads... this one I like. I know it's stupid, but it made me laugh.

Superstar... I hated this one. I'm not even sure why I watched it as I never liked Mary Katherine Gallagher even as a sketch.

It's Pat... I liked the Pat sketch a lot, but the movie bit, imo.

Ones I haven't seen:

Stuart Saves His Family... I never liked this sketch.

A Night at the Roxbury... one of my favorite sketches of it's SNL time period, and I'm afraid a full 2 hours would ruin it.

Blues Brothers 2000

The Ladies Man... really?

MacGruber... another favorite sketch I think I'd grow to hate over the span of a movie.

There are probably more that I'm forgetting about...

I think Astronaut Jones might make a reasonably funny movie, and I'd have definitely watched a Church Lady movie or a Perfect Cheer movie or a Judy Miller movie.

What do you think? Do SNL sketches make good movies? Which sketches do you think should be, or should have been, made into movies?
