Kevin Fallon of The Daily Beast was also highly critical of the film, saying "The Unauthorized Saved by the Bell Story is really an avant-garde meta examination of Saved by the Bell.
That it is a dramatic deconstruction of the worst elements of the hit '90s children's series. That the bad acting, wooden dialogue, elementary plotting, and impotent dramatic tension are actually an artistic wink at those very elements in the original series."[9]
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."[10]
