Movie Reviews of Saturday Night Live - Christmas
Movie Review: wICKEDLY FUNNY STUFF FROM SNL
Summary: 5 Stars
Since the beginning, Saturday Night Live has always given us brilliant holiday sketches. This collection combines the classic original cast, right up to recent casts of the late 90's.
The list of skits includes:
Candace Bergen interviewing Dan Ackroyd as ruthless toymaker Irving Mainway who sells toys like "Bag O' Glass" and Johnny Switchblade Punk action figure.
John Lovitz who has to fill-in for Santa Clause playing Hanukah Harry...
The Classic Alec Baldwin on NPR radio sketch discussing his Shweaty Balls with Molly Shannon and Ana Gasteyer...
Steve Martin doing his fireside.."My Wish for Christmas.." routine...
John Belushi as a drunken mall Santa...
The Lost Ending to "It's a Wonderful Life"
Gasteyer as a topless Martha Stewart...
Eddie Murphy doing a "Mr. Robinson's Neighborhood" bit...
Adam Sandler doing his usual Hannukah song...
All good fun and most of it very good.
Summary of Saturday Night Live - Christmas
SNL:CHRISTMAS - DVD MovieThe 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
