The film missed out Lark Voorhees was in this series implying Saved by the Bell was her big break. The film takes place in 1989 after "Good Morning, Miss Bliss" gets cancelled and part of the cast are reunited for the Saved by the Bell pilot. I can't imagine them being that offended by this film unlike the book. The film is basically a nostalgia piece and fairly flattering to the cast. With this being PG rated it totally glosses over the seedier aspects of the book like: sex amongst cast members, like some of the drug taking, like the dressing room orgies and Dustin's infamous trips to Disney World. The book was said to be co-written with the aid of a ghostwriter and also parts were made-up or exaggerated by him. The story goes Dustin Diamond wanted to publish a "tell all" book about the Saved By The Bell cast. The book was controversial at the time and arguably libellous in places. It was incredibly difficult to obtain a physical copy so I bought the eBook instead. I read Dustin Diamond's book "Behind The Bell" on which this TV Movie is based several years before this film was even made. It is corny, it is sugary and it does miss some of the seedier parts of Dustin Diamond's book. There's been a lot of criticism for this TV movie on review sites.
