Screening includes a Green Room Cocktail on arrival.

Academy Award Nominated director Jason Reitman turns TV history into a supremely satisfying tale. Hot from its acclaimed debut at Telluride Film Festival, the true story, told in real-time, of the first ever Saturday Night Live is an anarchic, joyous, and nerve-racking rollercoaster.

Gabriel LaBelle leads a cast of talented young actors, including Dylan O’Brien, Lamorne Morris, Finn Wolfhard, Nicholas Braun, and Cooper Hoffman, to portray the titans of comedy of the mid-70s like Chevy Chase, Dan Aykroyd, Jane Curtin, John Belushi, and Andy Kaufman.

The always brilliant J.K Simmons and Willem Dafoe round out a pitch-perfect ensemble to capture the luck and lunacy from which SNL was born.

Original writer (along with Dan Aykroyd and Rick Moranis) and lead player Harold Ramis, who sadly passed away in 2014 is given a lovely presence in this new effort. The young Reitman fills the film with wonderful easter eggs of both the subtle and obvious kind for established fans and newbies alike.

Transferring the setting to small-town USA gives the new cast less competition in regards to iconic locations and places the emphasis on character development and it’s here that the film is less consistent. There seem to be cuts to move the story along that leave the occasional gap in continuity but this certainly speeds up the narrative.

Ghost-filled action scenes are peppered throughout the film and this makes for an entertaining and lively romp while still leaving room for a big finale. This is also slightly scaled back so things don’t play out in a competitive way as how can you really top a marshmallow man the size of a large building? Ghostbusters: Afterlife is a great example of how to both respect what has come before and invest in a new future.

The film follows the rise and fall of Senator Hart, who captured the imagination of young voters and was considered the overwhelming front runner for the 1988 Democratic presidential nomination when his campaign was sidelined by the story of an extramarital relationship with Donna Rice.

As tabloid journalism and political journalism merged for the first time, Senator Hart was forced to drop out of the race – events that left a profound and lasting impact on American politics and the world stage.  Also starring Vera Farmiga, J.K. Simmons and Alfred Molina, The Front Runner is written by Matt Bai & Jay Carson & Jason Reitman, based on the book All the Truth is Out by Matt Bai, and produced by Jason Reitman, Helen Estabrook, and Aaron L. Gilbert.

The Front Runner stars Hugh Jackman, Vera Farmiga, J.K. Simmons, Alfred Molina and is in Australian cinemas January 24!
