SpuffyWeb Sadly Over-hyped

Plustown A lot of perfectly good film show their cards early, establish a unique premise and let the audience explore a topic at a leisurely pace, without much in terms of surprise. this film is not one of those films.

InformationRap This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.

Deanna There are moments in this movie where the great movie it could've been peek out... They're fleeting, here, but they're worth savoring, and they happen often enough to make it worth your while.

rsvp321 SNL has become an aimlessly wandering wreck, lately...but wandering only within a political ideology fenced in field. Is there any jokes in new episodes that hasn't been done ten times already in the past two years? ...Um, no... Very stale. I even think it's always the same live audience.Maybe they can do a fresh skit about friend Al Franken, now. That's what would get me watching again!Until then, I'm gone.

Greg I'm politically leftward and these days *I* find snl unwatchable. It's basically Democratic Party propaganda pretending to be comedy. Kate McKinnon singing Leonard Cohen's "Halleluiah" and that "To Sir, With Love" number after last year's election were very clear messages of what the show has become. It used to be much more balanced - and funny! If you doubt me, watch all those debate parodies they did in the 1988 election season. And — as with every other live show now — the studio audience is far too loud and screamy. And the enthusiasm they show makes no sense with what's on stage. Are they all given cocaine at 11:29? Another reviewer described snl as a bank that's "too big to fail". I agree. No matter how bad it gets, it'll never go away. Fortunately we the audience can go away, and I finally have.(p.s. IMDb rates this show an 8.2, but notice how all the recent reviews are only one star. I think that tells you something.)

sargentpwinkle SNL use to be awesome, the awesome skits, the great host etc. But now ever since the 2016 election, it went down hill. Every skit is about Trump and Hillary. Its terrible. I actually found it funny the first 2 episodes but now its plain boring. This actually also refers to talk shows, like Jummy Kimmel/Fallon Seth Myers, Conan and that one old guy. They all talk about them. I really don't see how people arn't bored of it yet. Its sad you half to mention trumps name just to keep your ratings high. :/

studioAT It's an institution, it's a landmark comedy programme - it can only be 'Saturday Night Live'.Yes, it goes through stages of not quite being on top form, but you can't argue with the amount of stars it has produced over the years, or the way it manages to stay on top of current events.I think people like to bash it, to say it's not as good these days, but people would equally be up in arms if it were to be axed.I hope its reign as the pinnacle of American satire continues for a long time to come.
