Not all creative people have problems, but it seems that they all get caught up at some time or another, with problems due to too much time and money. An interesting story in the life of one of the founders of National Lampoon Magazine.

I will try to keep it short and simple. The acting here is super good and the movie made me feel as If I were there. I think they made a good job in creating the vibe and the atmosphere of those times. It sure helps the those super strange guys are played by a great ensemble of today's finest comedian. I didn't know about Doug who clearly is the center and the most developed character but I am glad to have learned about him. This movie is a honest homage to him and his craft.

If anyone has any past experience with this magazine this is a must see movie. It may not be totally factual but you get to see and understand the spirit behind the publication.Excellent production and character portrayals give a life and excitement to this film. You can't go wrong watching this one.

The film moves along with a sense of invention and wit, like the supermarket economy version of an Edgar Wright movie, and feels like it might shift up a gear at any moment. But that 'intro' style vibe just kind of continues... right through until Kenney starts to unravel, where it just loses steam and doesn't have much of interest to say. Whereas say, in Fincher's The Social Network the film revolves and relies upon a compelling theme of loyalty's breaking point, or the value of ideas, AFASG's theme seems to never transcend 'hey, some people unravel the more successful they get!' I don't know what it is with these Netflix films, they all seem to be very eager to be impressive and likeable, but without really having a heart and soul. Its like a new genre aimed at people distracted on their phones or something.
