What people are saying
Updated nightlyOpinions are split, with plenty feeling this documentary about Lorne Michaels and his comedy empire is just okay. The humor works for a lot of people, thanks to the candid interviews with icons like Conan O'Brien and Mike Meyers. But the story itself feels like a rehash to many, and Lorne Michaels himself gets a pretty mixed, often critical reaction from those talking. It's a watch for the parade of famous faces, but don't expect many new revelations.
