Saturday Night

Reviews

  - Entertainment Weekly
• "A madcap comedy about the 90-minute dash leading up to the 1975 debut episode of “SNL,” the show’s famously enigmatic creator is lionized."
  - New York Post
• "Now, just one year shy of the pop phenom’s 50th anniversary, director Jason Reitman gives back, turning an oral history of the very first episode into a rowdy, delectably profane backstage homage."
  - Variety
• "Beyond Reitman and Keenan’s tight screenplay and a fantastic recreation of Studio 8H from production designer Jess Gonchor, the movie would not fly without an ensemble that may end up being legendary in its own right."
  - The Playlist
• "There’s an inherent sweetness about and obvious respect to the show and those original performers present, and as obscene as some of the jokes are [...] you can’t help but be enveloped by its charm."
  - The AU Review
• "Mr. Reitman’s homage serves as an amusing monument to one of television’s most enduring cultural institutions."
  - Wall Street Journal
• "SATURDAY NIGHT serves as a love letter to the millions of global fans who have religiously tuned in to decompress and get their giggle on. Lamorne Morris, Cory Michael, Smith, Kim Matula and Matt Wood are fantastic as their iconic counterparts."
  - TheWrap
• "There’s another underlying truth here about the creative process: Sometimes, it feels like the whole world is against you. What’s more, sometimes you have to imagine that the whole world is against you in order to get anything meaningful done."
