Summary: Unamusing...Stupid and Dull!!!
Review: Coming from the UK where movies such as Road Trip, American Pie enjoyed such great success, I eagerly awaited the US release of Saving Silverman. Well...was I disappointed!! I can honestly say the film failed to make me laugh once, and turned into an hour and a half long bore. Dont be fooled by the R rating which is a ridicilous attempt to make you the viewer purchase this DVD. It remains a stupid teen flick, while even the great Neil Diamond cannot rescue this dire movie. If you`re looking for laughs, leave this on the shelf....

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Great movie..
Review: I don't know what the critics and everyone else who has panned it are talking about. I think the movie was hilarious (although, typical and predictable). You need to take it for what it is, a fun flick to help you relive your youth ;).

Interestingly there are some eggs on the disc (and I notice amazon here has "two video easter eggs" listed, which is rare. ... .

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Go back! Do not waste your money!
Review: This definitely has to be one of the worst movies I have seen in some time. What was supposed to be funny about this movie??? If you're a Jack Black or Steve Zahn fan, check it out only when it hits the old releases shelves at the video store since they both do fairly decent jobs with roles that are horribly written. Don't waste more than a buck or two on watching this lame excuse for a movie. Go back and watch High Fidelity, Happy, Texas, or American Pie if you're a fan of Black, Zahn, or Biggs instead of this awful movie.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: The Worst!
Review: Run as far away as you can from this movie! I can honestly say this is the worst movie I have ever seen in my life. It was painstaking to make it until the end because there was only one funny line in the entire flick. I enjoy every type of comedy but every scene in this was exaggerated to the point of being just plain stupid.

Rating: 5 stars

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: are you kidding?
Review: I can't believe anyone could write a good review for this movie. It's absolutely terrible and i even like stupid comedies. I watch stupid comedies every week, but this one is just stupid. I felt like shouting to the cast what they should be saying instead of the absolutely dull script. I love the entire cast of this movie too. That's why it bothers me so much i guess. If you like fluffy comedies, get josie and the pussycats, not this.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The same guy who tickled your funny bone in American Pie!
Review: Poor Silverman (Jason Biggs) can't get a date! So his friends fix him up with the supposed girl of his dreams (Amanda Peet). Everything seems perfect... until, that is, the matchmakers discover that this girl is anything but perfect for their buddy! But by the time they discover their flub, Silverman already has his heart set on marrying the not-so-sweet sweetheart. Now, Silverman's pals have to figure out a way to save him from making the biggest mistake of his life!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Absolutely Hilarious
Review: One of the funniest movies I have ever seen. Practically laughed myself out of the theater the first time I saw it. A definate for all comedy enthusiasts. Amanda Detmer puts the finishing touches on this flick making it a movie I just can't wait to see again.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Don't Bother
Review: I went and saw this movie and wanted to leave as it was so bad, but I am a fan of Neil Diamond's and wanted to see his portion in the movie. Thank God his part in it was fair and the only good thing about the movie. Unfortunate for him I feel that he wasted his time and effort on doing the movie. He would have faired much better writing another song. Would I recommend this movie to anyone ... NO

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: A modern day "Three Stooges"
Review: This film has no pretentions about it: it is a slapstick, in your face, low brow side splitter.

Many reviewers elsewhere have derided its lack of character development, its "cruelty", its appeal to the lowest common denominator etc etc. Well pleeeease! Could these people get a life!

The plot, such as it is, has been well ventilated by now. Three life long buddies; losers all. Enter scheming, manipulative seductress who steals Silverman away. Cue the ridiculously inept attempts by his friends to "save him". Neil Diamond (who better?) saves the day.

Given this scenario, who needs or expects character development or sophisticated humour. This film has a ludicrous plot, and it succeeds or fails on its commitment to its essential silliness.

Judged on these criteria, Saving Silverman is hilarious. Jack Black and Steve Zahn are modern day incarnations of the old Three Stooges. Every thing they do or say is invested with a physicality and natural comic timing that is unrivalled. Peet is beautiful and really gets into the part of the unmitigated bitch. Detmar is a revelation.

Neil Diamond steals the show with his cameo. Who knew that his moody, introspected persona hid a game guy with a tremendous self- deprecating sense of humour. He has got a new fan here!
