“Saturday Night” Movie Review
Manage episode 444976279 series 10748
Rated R

Kevin says Saturday Night kinda rocks!
SATURDAY NIGHT LIVE turns 50 this year, so Hollywood is looking back at the origins of the groundbreaking sketch comedy show.
SATURDAY NIGHT is a real-time look at the chaos that surrounded the production leading up to its premier in 1975.
Jason Reitman directs an ensemble cast that takes you through the infighting, unprofessionalism, and unrelenting mayhem of that first night.
This is a striking look at what has become an institution, back when it was nothing more than rowdy, drug-fueled, experimental television. The show’s humble, rag-tag origins provides a stark contrast to what it has become.
The actors manage to rise above caricatures of the original players, offering some humanity for most of them beyond their antics. So fans of the show’s early years should find it relatable.
It’s a fast-paced and intense look at what live TV used to be. Sure, it runs a bit too long… but isn’t that quintessential SATURDAY NIGHT LIVE?
SATURDAY NIGHT gets three and a half hot mics out of five. I’m Kevin Carr, and that’s the way I see it.
