At 11:30pm on October 11, 1975, a ferocious troupe of young comedians and writers changed television – and culture – forever. Directed by Jason Reitman and written by Gil Kenan & Reitman, Saturday Night is based on the true story of what happened behind the scenes in the 90 minutes leading up to the first broadcast of Saturday Night Live. Full of humor, chaos, and the magic of a revolution that almost wasn’t, we count down the minutes in real time until we hear those famous words…

Critics Consensus: Jazzed up by an excellent ensemble that captures the essence if not the exact likeness of SNL's original cast and crew, Saturday Night is a frenetic and nostalgic celebration of one of showbiz's most auspicious debuts.

This is the ensemble film of the year.

Jason Reitman's Saturday Night is full of hilarious moments, but doesn't really come together as an ode to the original cast and creators of SNL.

By the time the film reaches 11:30, you want to see this cast perform the first episode of Saturday Night Live.

Watching “Saturday Night,” Jason Reitman’s entertaining film account of the birth of TV’s “Saturday Night Live,” is like sitting next to your mischievous Uncle Stan at a family dinner, listening as he regales the table with stories of his wild youth.

Saturday Night may not be the most factually accurate account of what went down in Studio 8H a half century ago, but it’s a delightfully giddy hit of pop nostalgia.
