Saturday Night: 109 minutes of tedious SNL cosplay crammed into one of the most self-absorbed movies i've ever seen. amazing that so much of the cast (especially Cooper Hoffman, Cory Michael Smith & Dylan O'Brien) still manages to crush in it. my review: https://t.co/q1GwmqfHiq https://t.co/BmOScy35Ff
