I saw it. I enjoyed it very much. You felt like you were in the 70's, the hair/make-up/clothes were great - The Actors practically all looked like who they were playing. As far as the facts go - EW did an article on this - Much of what is portrayed in the movie did happen or was rooted in truth, but didn't all necessarily happen that night. It's not a Documentary, it's a movie and for me it worked!
Great review! I was nine when SNL premiered and I grew up with the original cast, so I was really hoping this movie would be good. Glad to hear you liked it, as I value your insights greatly! Now I can’t wait!
I was born in 1975, and my parents were on top of all things cool, including SNL. When I hear, "LIVE FROM NEW YORK, IT'S SATURDAY NIGHT!" I feel a blast of joy that is duplicated every time it is said.
Completely agreed that Lorne Michael’s ‘charisma’ was turned up a notched for the movie. I had to look up “Lorne Michael interview young” to watch real footage to compare it to, because the movie portrayal didn’t seem to match what I had envisioned. 😅
I've been a bonified SNL history nerd since birth. Like, the only reason I don't have a particular nostalgia for this cast is because I was born in '85, making the late-80's cast my cast. This movie aimed directly at my nerd heart and didn't miss it, and I am still on a very happy high from watching it last night. I fucking loved everything about it and I'm so glad it worked out the way it did! 😊❤
THANKS for this, @CoyJandeau!!! Glad you're happy about this film because I'm excited to watch this on streaming!!!! #SaturdayNight #SaturdayNightLive #livetelevision #LorneMichaels #GeorgeCarlin #NBC #filmreview #JasonReitman
I loved this film from start to finish. We need more of this in Cinema, especially BTS looks at infamous productions. Cory Michael Smith killed it as Chevy Chase! And Cooper Hoffman, what a force!
Tough one. And funny because I have a lot of comedians I like that are SNL alumni but I didn't really like their stuff from SNL that much it's more what they did after, of course there are exceptions. All time favorite overall though, to many to choose, in the top 10ish not in order: Andy Samberg, Bill Hader, Maya Rudolph ,Chris Farley, George Carlin,Will Ferrell, Fred Armisen,John Belushi,Phil Hartman,Norm Mcdonald,Kate McKinnon ,.... Too many to choose😂. Who's your all time favorite Coy? Carlin? Thanks for the review!
Going in, I didn't expect the movie to bump Civil War from my #1. Inside Out 2 didn't. The Wild Robot didn't. Yet here we are, with Saturday Night currently my favorite movie of the year.
My most anticipated movie for the rest of the year me and my uncle are waiting until Saturday night. That way we can see Saturday night on Saturday Saturday night lol I am so excited for this movie. Cannot wait. It looks amazing!!!
2:25=Says "Billy Crystal", shows Billy Preston? Also, with his sketch comedy troupe background, Lorne Michaels was a showman prior to SNL. So, it may be more accurate than first assumed.
I took my dad to see this. As soon as JK Simmons shows up on screen as Milton Berle, he turned to me and said “he had a massive dong”. Took the element of surprise of that reveal lol.
I want to preface with. I liked the film we got. It is good. But I spent a lot of it wishing I was watching a a different film. I would have preferred a standard narrative structure. Things that were mentioned in the film could not be examined due to the real time nature of the film. How and why was Lorne Michaels on anyone's radar to even get this chance? Why did he pick the people to work on it that he did? I would have liked to have seen the reality of Lorne's almost delusions of grandeur vs the reality of no one at the studio believing in him of the show. I would have liked to have seen the story of the show from conception then in the last act spend say the last 45 mins in real time telling the story of how frantic everything was up moments before air as we got in the film that was made. But again, the film we got is good and I do recommend

Your review got me real hyped to see this. Used to be a big SNL fan back in the day.
Hope you love it too!

It was great in '84-'85. But at best I give it a C+ in the years thereafter. It's an F now.
Lorne Michaels is played by the lead in The Fabelmans, maybe you saw that as well but didn't recognize Gabriel LaBelle here
THANKS for this, @CoyJandeau!!!
Glad you're happy about this film because I'm excited to watch this on streaming!!!!

This movie was electric. I can get the high of doing comedy for the first time.
I think Lorne is pretty charismatic

Who Is Your ALL TIME Favorite SNL Cast Member?!
Will Ferrell...though I think Eddie Murphey was Better, just a bit before my time of watching the show.
It's hard to say anything besides Farley or Ferrell, but I want to say Kenan since I've been a fan since the 'All That' days.

Bill Hader hands down! Talk about a chameleon with perfect timing.
Gilda Radner - hands down!

I couldn't care less about SNL, but WOW this movie is in my top 5 of the year. Absolutely love it!
My most anticipated movie for the rest of the year me and my uncle are waiting until Saturday night. That way we can see Saturday night on Saturday Saturday night lol I am so excited for this movie. Cannot wait. It looks amazing!!!
I’m planning on seeing it this weekend
This isn’t releasing in the UK until January 31st 2025 😭
Yes I heard about it and will wait till streaming. Grew up when SNL first started, so should be interesting.
2:25=Says "Billy Crystal", shows Billy Preston? Also, with his sketch comedy troupe background, Lorne Michaels was a showman prior to SNL. So, it may be more accurate than first assumed.
Best film of the year.
Love from Belgium 🇧🇪 ❤ I’ll definitely check it ❤
Looking forward to this one
Hope you dig it too!
I will go see the movie. But I saw the real thing from 1975-79, and there will never be another show that will top it. Ever.
EDITING IS FIRE
Watched only a few scenes of SNL, but I think I might like it regardless, so I’ll give it a try.
Hey coy, my favorite is Chris Farley, or Chris rock it's very hard to pick tho
My favorite cast members are Phil Hartman and Norm Mcdonald.
Solid, underrated picks!
Yeah, dope pics. Would be awesome if they did a film or so from every generation of SNL.
I took my dad to see this. As soon as JK Simmons shows up on screen as Milton Berle, he turned to me and said “he had a massive dong”. Took the element of surprise of that reveal lol.
Can’t wait to watch this!’
Hope you love it too!

Loved this movie!
So good!
Hopefully this helps Corey Michael Smith catch his big break, been singing his praises since Gotham!
Yessss
I loved this movie!!!
Me too!
Eddie, without question
Eddie Murphy.
That's it.
It helps to not know the original show, because it gets so much wrong
Watch the documentaries DRUNK STONED BRILLIANT DEAD and SATURDAY NIGHT LIVE: THE FIRST FIVE YEARS and you'll be better off.
