If Wayne, Garth, and even Pat could make the leap to the big screen, why not MacGruber?

The oft-featured MacGyver parody on Saturday Night Live is the latest SNL skit to become a major motion picture.

Reese Witherspoon's husband, Ryan Phillipe, is negotiating to have a role in the comedy, as is Val Kilmer. MacGruber regulars Will Forte and Kristen Wiig will also have roles in the film, the Hollywood Reporter said Wednesday.
