Film Review - Mr. Roosevelt
November 22, 2017
Noel Wells is best known for her brief stint on “Saturday Night Live,” a high-profile position on national television she recently admitted was less than ideal, leaving her a bit disgruntled.

It’s the first of many personal touches that help support this wildly amusing picture, which, as expected, showcases Wells’s enormous talents as a performer, working through impressions, reactions, and some dramatic challenges.
