Movie Reviews of Saturday Night Live - Christmas

Movie Review: Similar to TV version 10-15 years ago, but not quite
Summary: 5 Stars

This is not the very exact same version that I taped on VHS some 10 years ago. It is very close but missing the skit where two women cast members sing impromptu christmas songs in the "lounge setting" and starred William Shatner. That skit was replaced with Cheri Oteri and Rosie O'Donnell in a skit about two neighborhood woman and the Nativity display. Other than that it is a good version.

Summary of Saturday Night Live - Christmas

SNL: CHRISTMAS (DVD MOVIE)
The best Christmas material from two-and-a-half decades of Saturday Night Live is collected in this video, which gets off to a raucous start by presenting Chevy Chase's (literally) unbalanced rendition of President Gerald Ford decorating the White House Christmas tree. A number of memorable Christmas satires appear, including Eddie Murphy's spoof of Mr.?Rodgers, Ana Gasteyer appearing in the "Martha Stewart Topless Christmas Special," and even Adam Sandler's "Hanukkah Song." Some of the best material is from the show's early freewheeling years: a classic bit with guest Candice Bergen, playing an uptight newswoman, being suitably offended while interviewing an irresponsible and utterly sleazy toy manufacturer (Dan Ackroyd); John Belushi doing a silent yet brilliant turn as a hard-drinking department store Santa; and the entire original cast taking part in an elaborate (by the show's early standards) production number. Also appearing in the video compilation are cast members Bill Murray, Jane Curtin, Phil Hartman, Mike Myers, and Dana Carvey, as well as guests Steve Martin, Danny DeVito, Paul Simon, William Shatner, and Alec Baldwin (who visits the NPR ladies to deliver a wickedly deadpan talk about his Christmas balls). Saturday Night Live has been notoriously uneven over the years, but this video is a full stocking of consistently inspired writing and performances. --Robert J. McNamara
