Ryan's a talented actor and has proved himself many times over but he really has no business being in this movie as he's about as funny as watching a walking stick move from plant to plant.
Yes, I know he's supposed to be the "straight man" but Ryan Phillippe basically walks lazily through this role with many, many stern and/or blank & confused looks at MacGruber which, I guess, is supposed to remind us that Grubes doesn't exactly play by the book.
Well, it seems to me that ever since Reese Witherspoon dumped his ass, Phillippe's career has been sinking faster than a lead boat and I doubt even the great MacGruber could save him now even if there was only one wire to cut to prevent Ryan's eventual irrelevance.
I guess, when your glory days are far behind you, you have to take whatever role you can get. It's really too bad for the fans of MacGruber that the casting directors couldn't find anybody better than Ryan Phillippe to fill the role of Lt. Dixon Piper.
PS> Hey casting directors, you have a freakin' casting couch, right? So use it next time and find somebody that really wants to give it their all for your movie!
