imds.com and the New York Times review of the movie both call _Mr. Saturday Night_ a comedy. Comedy vs. tragedy is not something librarians or book reviewers have ever warned people about. It would be too hard to determine who is sensitive to the issues raised by the movie. Like most well written comedy, _Mr. Saturday Night,_ appeals to a large and varied audience. Some will laugh and some won't. If you cover your face and laugh a passer-by will not be able to tell if you are laughing or crying.
