I loved it I’m completely biased because I love snl and its intense history. I think the pacing was so fun, all the actors did a great job, and all the characters were perfectly likeable/hateable. The only real flaw is the dated comedy because it’s dated in the 70s. RB score 8/10
This movie perfectly captures the chaotic 90 minutes leading up to the first SNL episode. Even though we know the show becomes successful you worry and feel for this group of misfits and underdogs. Stellar performances across the board and the comedy is on point.
I really liked the fact that they used a old camera to really put you back into time. I feel like some parts fell weak, but the ending really tied it all together and created a beautiful image of what they managed to create with all that happened; and what SNL has now become.

Casting was great the actors looked so similar to the original cast. I was so stressed the whole movie trying to come up with my own solution but I enjoyed every minute of it. Then of course I went home to watch how that first eps went
bro like it’s top movies of the year for sure incredible 10/10 everything about it WONDERFUL WONDERFUL lived up to expectations
The longer it got, the more I wanted. I watch SNL every weekend so when I heard about this I was hyped, and it did not disappoint. It feels like an SNL mockumentary but with the right balance of cinema. If you're a long-time fan, you'll love this, from characters and casting to jokes and acting, it…

8.4 - Though it feels like it only scratches the surface & maybe keeps the mood a little more positive than would be realistic, this was 109 minutes of fun whiplash. Incredible performances from a bunch of Hollywood’s next generation, aided by an equally smart & funny script made the time fly.…
Chaotic! It was so interesting seeing the behind the scenes of this iconic show. I was never a massive fan of SNL but I’ve watched a lot of skits and full episodes here and there but seeing the ins and outs of the first day with the cast of comedians they had was entertaining
