at those very elements in the original series." Pilot Viruet of The A.V. Club criticised how the film's ending hinted at a sequel, saying "The Unauthorized Saved By The Bell Story doesn't make a compelling case for a sequel. It doesn't even make a case for its own existence." Entertainment Weekly called the film "horrendous and unmoving time-waster" and compiled a list of one-hundred elements it depicted that they found to be unconvincing. TV Guide compiled a similar list of eight elements and said that it "seemed more parody than biopic" After the film aired, many fans of Saved by the Bell expressed their disdain for it on Twitter.
