Saturday Night

"A nice, safe movie about a revolution."

"A brilliant ensemble cast is wasted on 109 minutes of tedious SNL cosplay."

"Often feels like we're on a tour of the studio but without a guide -- lost, confused and increasingly annoyed."

"Flaws and all, there's magic in it."

"Nicholas Braun’s performance is what the whole movie should have been."

"Jason Reitman finds the right ensemble to capture the lunacy from which SNL was born."

"The cast works hard and brings off some antic moments, but too many of the riffs fall flat."

"As entertaining as a movie can be that has no genuine point beyond nostalgia."

"Unfit for prime time, or really any time."

"Affectionate yet hollow homage."

"Hinges on LaBelle’s strong performance."

"Reitman handles the ensemble cast with Robert Altman-esque assurance."

"Fails as both fan service and fan fiction."

"The clubhouse vibes make for a fun hang."

"This isn’t a lazy river; it’s a roller coaster, and one hell of a ride."

"Chaotic in wildly enjoyable ways."

"A sweet and goofy Valentine."

"When Reitman does take chances, it’s an exhilarating success."

"Tells the story of SNL’s first episode in a predictable, surface-level way."

"A good time not a long time."

"A true state of nirvana for those who love their comedy history."

"Rollicking, expertly cast cosplay."
