I actually LOVED this. Super well-cast and directed, and the premise is basically made for me lol I also went and saw it with my dad who watched the show from the start and that was a really fun experience
I didn't think this was amazing or anything as a film, but i thought it was a great showpiece of up and coming talent. I think it 10 years time it'll be one of the movies that had a bunch of famous people before they became big. Like a Dazed and Confused or something.
I have to say Lamorne Morris lit up the screen every time he was on. I know he just won his first Emmy for Fargo, so I hope he gets more good stuff like this. He is such a good actor.
I agree with Breakfast All Day's review of this. Fun, enjoyable, some good performances by some up and comers, but ultimately pretty shallow and doesn't stick with you or have a whole lot to say.
He is actually in this a lot and is shown as a pretty important piece of everything. I am glad they didn't shortchange his contribution, as SNL's first head writer he often gets overlooked. I thought this was actually a bit better than Thomas Lennon's cartoony version of O'Donoghue in that one National Lampoon movie a few years ago.
This was so bad. It felt like an SNL sketch, coincidentally or not. Seeing Greg Hirsch as Andy Kaufman was nice but then they wasted his iconic bit.
"You have to distract her" "How?" "With your sparkling wit" "Excuse me miss. Could you confirm that this is a normal deck of cards?" Hahahahahaha
Thought this was okay. Some good performances scattered throughout, but many more that felt pretty checked out. Not particularly funny or tense, just sorta there. Gabriel LaBelle bugs me in general and I can’t really put my finger on why
We need to seal the door this time. I spent years criticizing his career and had him exiled to making Ghostbusters movies but he managed to crawl back.
