Review of Late Night (2019) by Brent_Marchant — 21 Jun 2019
What a treat it is to see a smartly written, intelligent, genuinely funny comedy these days, one that isn't afraid to poke some major holes in the types of vehicles that claim to be funny but truly aren't.
While the film could use a little more development in certain parts of the back story, and while some elements are a little too predictable, this otherwise-spot-on tale delivers huge, often-scathing laughs and does so without necessarily having to rely only on one-liners.
Mindy Kaling, John Lithgow and (especially) Emma Thompson serve up fine performances in a story that plays like "The Devil Wears Prada" meets the TV comedy biz. And BTW, pay no attention to the trailer for this one -- it really doesn't do the film justice.
