Looking at some press releases, I find that he is quite right. However, Lawrence Gordon, President of 20th Century says the dailies are "exciting, funny, and touching." It probably is more the style of STARMAN than of AIRPLANE, but each was a a comedy nonetheless. Another press release stresses that it was directed by Ron Howard. As it says "Ron Howard, who recently directed the smash hit SPLASH!, also guided the comedy sensation NIGHT SHIFT." It is not actually saying that COCOON is a comedy but it is hinting all around it.
