Writer/director Billy Crystal and company deserve an E for effort for "Mr. Saturday Night". There are some really good scenes in this movie but it's not as good a watch as it should have been. One problem is that Crystal's Buddy Young Jr character isn't always that likeable. The insult jokes Young throws out while on stage aren't that funny. Another problem with the movie is that most of the time they have the dreamy Julie Warner wearing old lady make-up. That's a silly mistake. Also, her character ends up not really having much to do after a while. You can tell "Mr. Saturday Night" was a very important movie to Crystal, unfortunately, it kind of misses the mark.
