In addition to Mindy Kaling in the lead and Emma Thompson as her witty and snarky new boss, the cast also includes Reid Scott (Veep), Paul Walter Hauser (I, Tonya), Hugh Dancy (Hannibal), Max Casella (Jackie), John Early (The Disaster Artist), and more on the writing staff. Other cast members include Ike Barinholtz, Amy Ryan and John Lithgow.
We were lucky enough to catch Late Night at Sundance, and while our own Chris Evangelista and Ben Pearson weren’t impressed with it as much as the overall crowd at the festival, yours truly found a lot to love about the movie, In my review, I wrote:
“Late Night doesn’t reinvent the wheel when it comes to showbiz comedy and drama, but the combination of a dynamite Emma Thompson and a splendid Mindy Kaling makes it stand out among the pack. It’s delightful, funny, and more than satisfying. Before the year is over, this will be one of the most beloved comedies of the year.”
