This was a really good movie and an amazing look at how much SNL looms over the entire improv world. I feel like every moment in this movie I've heard described by a comedian on a podcast. Like how new students come in hot with a catchphrase and ready to go right to the big leagues, how they watch SNL, how some perform when they know a bigwig is in the audience, etc. It was all spot on and extremely uncomfortable most of the time. Just cringeworthy. I never want to watch this movie again but I think it was very good. Does that make sense? I feel like I'm contradicting myself. This movie was better than how much I enjoyed watching it? Is that clearer? Nope. I will say the version of "Don't Think Twice, It's Alright" played over the credits made me cry. That song and this movie were very powerful.

What a great movie. Not at all what I expected. So good though.

My fault for wanting comedy w/ a touch of drama when it's the opposite

1 / 2 directing & technical aspect 1 / 1 story 1 / 1 act I 1 / 1 act II .5 / 1 act III 1 / 1 acting 1 / 1 writing 0 / 1 originality 0 / 1 stays with you 0 / 1 misc 6.5 out of 10

Not really a comedy. The movie is obviously made for people working in the industry to relate to, not to the general audience. Not too bad though
