K. Two good things about the movie - the puppetry and Maya Rudolph.

That's about it.

Nothing against Maya Rudolph, but like many other former SNL castmembers, she's just gotten rather overrated and overused in recent years. Not to the extent of, say, Kristen Wiig or Bill Hader, but still.

Overrated =/= overused.

I mean, SNL turns out great talent. What do you expect?

But, do they have to continually be shoe-horned into every single mainstream comedy movie for years afterwards when practically any other lesser-known comedic actors could be given a chance to boost their careers?

Fun fact: Sometimes lesser-known comedic actors suck and the popular ones actually deserve their popularity. Sometimes the popular ones worked really hard to get this far in life and it isn’t fun being constantly attacked for simply being popular. Come on.
