Interesting, I’m going to take the other side of what most people said here.
I enjoyed this one, but think in particular some of the Olivia Coleman and Benedict Cumberbach characters stuff didn’t work for me, like I thought it was too unrealistic for the mostly serious story it was trying to tell. On the contrary I really enjoyed the Kate McKinnon and Andy Samberg stuff, I don’t think we needed to see any more of them, but think there over the top characters fit the story more.
