11/52: A Futile & Stupid Gesture

11/52: A Futile & Stupid Gesture (2018) - ★★★.

Review: “I'm totally fresh to the story of Doug Kenney and the National Lampoon, but have always been interested in editorial humour similar to what he was doing so was a good fit. The weaving of SNL with the Lampoon was also really interesting for me. I also dig Will Forte so I was sold. A very entertainingly told story, if a bit disjointed. No proper laugh out loud moments for me, but lots of sizzler one-liners that I thoroughly enjoyed. The (apparent) attitude of the Lampoon was one thing that was consistently applied the the film's scenes throughout, disregarding the idea of being polite and/or inoffensive to anyone, even its creator. Which was enjoyable.”
