_Late Night_: A new hire's professional relationship with her boss, filmed like a rom-com. Mindy Kaling is charming but this overly politically correct remake of _The Intern_ meets _The Devil Wears Prada_ doesn't bring anything new to the table and doesn't start any dialogues. If it were a real chat show it'd be canceled mid-season.

This is fine and has some good performances from Mindy Kaling and Emma Thompson. It wasn't really that funny.

I think those who came to this movie expecting a comedy were disappointed. I came to it expecting stellar performances by great lead performers. I found a good drama which met my expectations. This is more thinky than funny and it spends its capital on taking us on Katherine Newbury's journey back to herself and her humanity via the addition to her staff of an unwelcomed but intrepid fan. I liked this movie and give it a 7 (good) out of 10. [Drama]

Absolute RUBBISH!! Wow, what a lame movie. Utterly missing anything that resembles a script that works. I didn't care at all about the main driver, whether Katherine would keep her job. It mattered not. Conversations were aimed at the lowest possible mentality, completely void of spark, uniqueness, interest, ANYTHING. I'm astonished this movie gets more than one star from anyone who has a brain or who cares about movies. It's an insult to intelligence and offers the viewer precisely NOTHING.

Is ‘Late Night’ a perfect film? No. It could have used a few tweaks in the edit suite, and a couple more on the page. Yes, the “woman”, “women in comedy” and “woman of colour” angles are pushed and pushed hard - but then again, isn’t that what the movie is about? Nothing is too in- More
