| | Mr. Saturday Night (1992) |
 | | Saturday Night tells the Buddy Young story, from early days telling jokes at family gatherings with his brother, to his later day lounge club circuit and retirement-home appearances. |
 | | Saturday Night, despite meandering about its story, manages to be reasonably engaging, and the frequent hops back in time to Buddy's early career serve to not only help illumine Buddy's character, but also to give the whole film a sad, nostalgic feel, quite appropriate to the theme of Buddy's failed career and flailing comeback attempt. |
 | | Saturday Night (and made his directorial debut), and it's rare to hear the viewpoint of the director, star, producer, and screenwriter all rolled into one. |
