(CNN)Don't listen to the haters Dakota Johnson You made your famous mother proud.
Amid mixed reviews for the Fifty Shades actor's appearance this weekend on Saturday Night Live her mother Melanie Griffith chimed in with her own parental take.
She killed it Wow I loved her poise her comic timing her grace loved everything she did
Griffith and her ex husband Don Johnson were in the audience for their daughter's monologue which she used to riff on the film adaptation of E.L. James' hit erotic novel. She also made it personal by noting that in December 1988 my mother stood in this exact spot and hosted 'SNL.' After the show her father proposed to her mother for the second time she said as the camera panned to her parents who jokingly shielded their eyes.
What the critics thought of 'Fifty Shades'
Memorable or not the monologue was overshadowed by a skit featuring Johnson playing an ISIS recruit.
The fake recruiting ad shows a father dropping off his daughter at the airport.
Are you sure you don't want to do another year of high school the father asks.
Dad it's just ISIS the daughter says and trots off to a truck filled with armed gunmen.
Some viewers took to social media to criticize the skit as bad form.
After recent killings why would Dakota Johnson think that would be funny author Steena Holmes tweeted a sentiment echoed by many.
But SNL castmember Taran Killam who played the father in the skit said he was proud of the sketch.
Freedom to mock is our greatest weapon. Thanks to the writers who asked not to be mentioned by name he tweeted.
Anyway all that matters is what your parents think right
