I don't know how to make this movie better. In a sense, it was telling the story of that inaugural Saturday night, but there was something anti-climactic about the ending.

I almost wished Aaron Sorkin wrote this; because, while watching it, I was reminded of "Studio 60 On The Sunset Strip" and I loved that series.

But Gabriel LaBelle was a great lead. Some of the cast members gave very memorable performances like Cory Michael Smith and Nicholas Braun. And I was reminded once again how great of an actor Dylan O'Brien really is. He should get more work in Hollywood.

Everything that happened in the first two acts were really interesting to follow. But by the end, it was a little deflated. Perhaps it was my expectation of wanting to see more skits at the end.
