Except for Bill Murray — who wasn’t part of the original “SNL” cast — no member of the Not Ready for Prime Time Players has endorsed Jason Reitman’s “Saturday Night.”
The movie, now in wide release, has not taken off very well. But there’s hope a push this weekend may bring in audiences.
Now Dan Aykroyd has jumped into the fray, calling the movie a “masterpiece” and a possible “best picture.”
That leaves Chevy Chase, Jane Curtin, Laraine Newman, and Garrett Morris to say something.
Dan at least has done something nice for Reitman, who’s directed him in “Ghostbusters” just as his dad, Ivan Reitman, did so well 40 years ago.
Cracking a Head to applaud Jason Reitman’s triumphant SNL film. Wow! What a propulsive, engaging, funny, beautifully cast and acted, suspenseful, adventurous, music-filled ride. A perfect window into the creative process at its highest level. Pretty accurate too. I was there…
