Late Night (out Aug 8) lacks realism in places but it's still an amusing comedy-drama about a long-time talk show host who must revamp her approach to halt sagging ratings. Emma Thompson feels like she's channelling Meryl Streep's Devil Wears Prada routine in trying to create a tough, mean-spirited character who is still likable. She doesn't quite succeed. Grade: B.
