Saturday Night Reviews
There a lot of plot holes in this story but it delivered enough fan service that made it an enjoyable watch.
| Original Score: 3/5 | May 2, 2025
I wanted to enjoy this movie but it ultimately let me down as a fan of SNL as it didn't give me anything more than some solid casting and cinematography. This felt contrived and oddly paced at times.
| Original Score: 2/5 | May 2, 2025
For boomers who grew up on SNL it’s a cultural Where’s Waldo? But even for them it quickly wears out its welcome. The film is populated not with characters but with caricatures.
| Original Score: C+ | Apr 15, 2025
Saturday Night perfectly encapsulates the kinetic energy of life backstage, in this exceptionally well cast, recreation of a flashbulb moment in television history.
| Original Score: 4/5 | Apr 3, 2025
It is inspired by actual events, and features real people among its characters, but Reitman sensibly puts story and entertainment first and relegates the truth to third place.
| Original Score: 7/10 | Feb 16, 2025
Like they’ve been asked to play 25 anxious dogs in a doggy day care pen, these young actors are all kinds of fun as they careen, clash, and collaborate. ... And some of them are doing brilliant impersonations.
| Original Score: B | Feb 13, 2025
The film has good — or at least flattering — intentions. That may be the problem. It is also, to an almost eerie degree, not funny.
| Original Score: 2/5 | Feb 8, 2025
The film is not perfect, but it manages to encapsulate the idea that, even in absolute chaos, there is room for greatness. [Full review in Spanish]
| Original Score: 7/10 | Feb 7, 2025
Saturday Night may require an audience already enamoured with the long-running sketch show, but Reitman creates an affectionate tribute to an icon of American culture. As behind-the-scenes biopics go, it succeeds where many others have failed.
| Original Score: 4/5 | Feb 7, 2025
It's a loving and entertaining tribute to an American 온라인카지노추천 institution.
| Original Score: 4/5 | Feb 7, 2025
Shot in real time with bracing urgency and sharp humour, this is bravura filmmaking by Jason Reitman, Gil Kenan and an up-for-it cast and crew.
| Original Score: 4/5 | Feb 5, 2025
Just for once, the story behind a comedy show is funnier than the real thing.
| Original Score: 4/5 | Feb 5, 2025
Tremendous fun.
| Original Score: 4/5 | Feb 5, 2025
What we get are a few paltry sketches that land flatly but are buttressed by clunky shots of the studio crew in hysterics. The forced convulsions only make the gags seem less funny and certainly incapable of producing a seismic cultural disturbance.
| Original Score: 2/5 | Feb 5, 2025
The film’s spirit of barely controlled anarchy brings an edge-of-the-seat tension to proceedings, and its restless energy is infectious... But for all the talk of gamechanging comedy genius, Saturday Night ultimately plays it rather safe.
| Original Score: 3/5 | Feb 5, 2025
The founding of a comedy institution shot as a madcap thriller, Saturday Night glides over the surface rather than drilling deep, but it’s largely a hell of a fun 109 minutes.
| Original Score: 3/5 | Feb 4, 2025
I would gladly watch a documentary about the first night of SNL, but I'm not sure that as a drama this works because for the people who know, they'll go 'yeah, that's not right' and for the people who don't know, they'll go 'sorry, I'm interested, why?'
| Feb 1, 2025
To capture the anarchic birth of this 온라인카지노추천 institution, Jason Reitman has made a stylish film that initially seems as wayward as the show. But it gradually comes to seem like the obvious way to handle the material.
| Original Score: 4/5 | Jan 31, 2025
For anyone with more than a passing interest in SNL, it's worth a look.
| Original Score: 3/5 | Jan 31, 2025
Even the superest superfan of the legendary US 온라인카지노추천 comedy show Saturday Night Live is going to struggle with the unbearable self-indulgence and self-adoration of this exhausting film from director and co-writer Jason Reitman.
| Original Score: 1/5 | Jan 31, 2025
