Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!

Wow! Such a good movie.

Best movie ever!

Great story, amazing characters, superb action, enthralling cinematography. Yes, this is something I am glad I spent money on.

The movie was interesting enough, but just because it was Dustin Diamond's version, it makes it difficult for someone to watch (and believe) it without any trace of prejudice.But the worst thing is that the whole plot is weird. All of a sudden Diamond is the center of the universe and the other 5 cast members revolve around him. Diamond is the josher but at the same time the mature one, the rest just join him on the set. We didn't see much about their lives out there, their thoughts and their problems.The young actors were very good in their roles. Unfortunately, the movie didn't meet my expectations, since in this kind of movies I need to see a collection of verified information from different people who were involved and an equitably shared time to the protagonists.

I am aware it is Dustin's version; however, it misses the point on describing the real problems and frictions between the cast. They barely display the character's personalities, hobbies, and their life outside the set, which would be helpful to understand some issues. Instead, the script focuses on describing things we already knew. I know, it is Dustin's story, but a little more objectivity wouldn't hurt. The acting is surprisingly good, specially the young man that plays Dustin. The rest of the cast does perfectly their job although it seems they haven't seen the original Saved by the Bell series. I would definitely recommend this one for fans of the series, like myself. I grew watching this series and became part of my life, so, getting extra information after 22 years was a good nostalgic touch, although I expected to see more of the "private" details.

I don't even know where to begin with this film. I don't even know why they bothered making it. Lifetime is the home of bad, bad TV movies but this one takes the cake of stuff I've seen lately. I admit I was actually excited about this. I am an adult who grew up absolutely LOVING Saved By The Bell. Kelly was the love of my young life, Zack was my idol, Screech was my best friend...you get the drift. I thought initially it was very smart of Lifetime to explore this show and what it legitimately did for Television. I understand there were some very dramatic things that happened behind the scenes so this could have been very interesting. It is a colossal horrible mess. The casting is the only thing they didn't screw up because it was okay (most will disagree with me) but the story they tell is ridiculous. Because it is Unauthorized they make up sets that look nothing like the actual ones, stories and scripts that never happened and events that were very unlikely. I would have rather watched a documentary about the making of the show then watch them fake their way through this crap. Despite being so terrible I sat there and watched it and maybe because I wanted it to be so good and maybe because I loved Saved By The Bell so much...somehow I found some semblance of redemption in it and was okay with wasting an hour and a half on it.Now don't get me wrong when I said the casting was okay. The casting is JUST okay. The kids were decent, they looked the part and I think if they had a script that was even okay that they too would have done alright. This script could have been written by monkeys on typewriters. Sam Kindseth shows some talent and some genuine promise as Dustin Diamond/Screech. He actually does his best to show some emotion. I actually thought Dylan Everett did a decent job as Mark-Paul Gosselaar. Much like Kindseth, he tried his best given the material. He almost seemed like he had enough chemistry to carry the movie much like Gosselaar carried Saved By The Bell. Julian Works tried very hard as Mario Lopez but wasn't very well cast. Still he was okay and the chemistry with him and the other cast members were decent. Tiera Skovbye, Alyssa Lynch and Taylor Russell were okay but very underused and were really only there to fulfil the purpose of being those characters and get very little depth. Same could be said for Ken Tremblett who seemed to really nail the Dennis Haskins role in the two or three scenes they actually showed him.In order for this film to work, they needed a script that truly captured what this show meant to pre-teens and to Television in general. They also needed a cast that had the sort of chemistry that the actual cast had twenty plus years ago. This film had neither of those things. This was slapped together to make a couple of books and move on. Director Jason Lapeyre has virtually no experience behind the camera and Ron McGee, who has written a lot of stuff (most of it looks like garbage) should stop writing. I blame him for the majority of why this didn't work at all. Why they would put the point of view to Dustin Diamond's character is beyond me and they never really touch on any of the important moments in the shows history. Maybe the show doesn't need a behind the scenes film but I still think it could have been done right. It wasn't. Its bad. Unless you're a true die hard fan like me, you won't find much reason to watch this. And if you do...be warned. 4.5/10

From seeing the previews, i thought the movie was going to be a tell all that was going to destroy my childhood memories of one of my favorite shows, and the cast looked so fake. I was so wrong. The characters were well cast and did an excellent job portraying their characters especially since the casting director from the original shoe came back to cast the characters for this movie. The movie was a homage to the cast and it made me smile, especially since I grew up watching the series as a kid. It's like all the behind the scenes things you heard over the years like Lisa and Mark dating and putting it on screen. If you like the clean image of the show, then you are going to like this movie. I think the original cast will enjoy it too. Great movie, well cast, nice pacing, and it respected the cast instead of trying to tarnish their public images like we were led to believe.
