Batiste’s score is excellent, and holds the film together better than the editing, writing, or performance energy, which are all over the map in terms of tone as well as quality. The cast pulls off superb impressions that are more than mere mimicry, and I can’t say—as a devout Studio 60 fan—that I wasn’t charmed by the theme of pulling together to make something great against all the odds. But the choice to stage a best-of clip show in the final minutes before the live broadcast, and loop in every possible cameo, strained plausibility so severely that I could barely finish watching.
