Saturday Night Review

'Saturday Night' is a Fun Look at the Making of the Popular TV Series. Director Jason Reitman takes some dramatic license yet creates an entertaining account of the 90 minutes leading up to the premiere of 'Saturday Night Live'.‘Saturday Night’, director Jason Reitman’s loving tribute to the 50-year television institution that Lorne Michaels' created is fun, fast-paced and thoroughly entertaining.

The film plays like a greatest-hits of all the behind-the-scenes stories and sketches from the first year of ‘SNL’, within the confines of the 90-minutes leading up to the premiere episode in 1975. While Reitman certainly took creative liberties with the facts, the film is exciting to watch and probably his best movie to date.
