Boisterous yet also containing a light touch, the film manages to never betray its own characters for the sake of a cheap thrill or laugh.

While its brand of comedy has changed dramatically since the show’s founding, “Saturday Night Live” has done little to keep its recent seasons fresh, relying on trite gags and gimmicks.

Host Regé-Jean Page tackled the series from the jump in his monologue, which featured a few of the “SNL” ladies lusting over him and eagerly invoking his show’s much-discussed sex scenes.

There is potential for a return to form for future episodes, but if the quality of the premier is a sign of things to come, then buckle up, folks — because we are in for a long season.

“Staten Island” follows Davidson as Scott, a 20-something amateur tattoo artist whose life fell off track after the death of his father.

It’s clear Apatow sees that Davidson is the perfect lead for a film such as “Staten Island” — one that is both about emotional sincerity and heroic sacrifice.

From forgettable to boring to downright awkward, very few comics seemed to hit their marks in the constrained, virtual sets. 

This has been an exciting week for music releases and Thursday is the perfect time to catch up with it all. Lizzo released her newest single, “Tempo,” featuring Missy Elliot on Mar. 20.

While Grande’s past albums often approached her romantic relationships in black-and-white fashion, Grande explores a more nuanced perspective of love in her new album.

Though that film remains the second highest grossing romantic comedy in the United States, its central gag doesn’t exactly scream for a remake, much less a gender-flipped one. “What Men Want” has to fight an uphill battle of making secret the thoughts that men are generally free to say out loud.
