Summary: For such a stupid movie, this is really funny!
Review: I just watched this movie and i'm pretty much speechless. It was alot funnier than I expected it would be, although it was pretty stupid when ya get right down to it. Two morons are afraid their best friend is engaged to a psychotic harpy who wants nothing more than to treat him like a puppet...and they're right. The funny thing is, they decide that it'd be best to kidnap her, fake her death, and hook him up witha girl he had a crush on in high school who is currently in the process of becoming a nun. Like I said, stupid. BUT, its funny. I laughed...at this one. This movie definately isn't for everyone, but if you liked movies such as "Dude, Where's my Car?" (probably the dumbest of the dumb), "Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back" (very dumb when ya get right down to it, but at the same time smarter than most...does that make sense?) or "Schindler's List" (okay, so that last one doesn't really belong with those others, but I couldn't think of any other stupid movies, so I thought I'd switch things up a little bit and put in a really good movie for the helluva it), then you'll love Saving Silverman!

Summary: Sorry Silverman
Review: I was really looking forward to seeing this movie after I saw the pre-views. I moved to England before it came out in theatres, so I had to wait until last Nov when I was home visiting my family. (FYI, due the recent popularity of Jack Black, "Saving Silverman" released in England Jan '02 under the name "Evil Woman.") What a let down! This is one of those situations where they showed all the funny bits in the preview. This movie couldn't be more not funny if it tried. It's saddens me cause I really like all the actors in it. Don't waste your time or money because this movie is awful. It was like they were trying very hard to be clever, but it ended up being a bad copy knock-off of other film greats such as "Something About Mary" and/or "American Pie." If left me feeling bored and disappointed. And I have a GREAT sense of humor!

Summary: Hysterical! Best comedy in recent history!?
Review: I could not believe how funny this movie was. If you thought Jack Black was only slightly amusing and affable, you will definitely change your mind after seeing this movie - I think I laughed almost every time he was on the screen. Steve Zahn and Amanda Peet were amazing as well. All I could think about after seeing Saving Silverman was, "How could this movie not have been a huge hit?" It was easily as good, if not better, than recent hits Something About Mary and Dumb and Dumber.

Summary: Jack Black is GOD!!!This movie is GOOD!!
Review: This movie is really funny, is not the best comedy out there but is a good one. All the actors are great in this movie, Jason Biggs plays the good guy very well, Zahn and Black are great as the 2 guys that doesn't want to loose their friend Biggs to Amanda Peet, who does a good job as the evil character. The Story is FUN and it has some twist and turns along the way.
If you like the actors, buy the movie, if you don't at least give it a try and go rent it.

Summary: nothing could save this film
Review: If there is a genuinely funny moment in "Saving Silverman," it is buried so deep that one would need to conduct a full-scale archaeological dig to ferret it out. Not content with merely embarrassing its likable, youthful cast - Jason Biggs, Steve Zahn, Jack Black and Amanda Peet among others - the film finds it necessary to humiliate Neil Diamond as well, since the story revolves around a trio of boyhood chums so socially backward that they think it's "cool" to play in a band that covers old Diamond standards while decked out in early-70's regalia. Diamond, for reasons unbeknownst to the rest of us, shows up in the film's later stretches to make a complete and utter fool of himself. Not that the rest of the cast fares much better. The plot is basically a hodgepodge of laboriously contrived comic situations strung together in a haphazard fashion, with each one falling flatter than the one that came before. Neither the verbal nor the physical humor works in the slightest. R. Lee Ermey, as the boys' psychotic coach, offers promise early on that his character will actually manage to elicit some laughs from the viewer, but he is soon reduced to the kind of over-the-top buffoonish caricature that kills all hope of comic effectiveness. And so it goes with the rest of the film. Director Dennis Dugan simply lacks the kind of discipline necessary to keep this sort of manic comedy under control - and writers Greg DePaul and Hank Nelken have given him precious little of quality to work with. Put bluntly, "Saving Silverman" is one of the worst, most utterly painful movie comedies to come along in many years.

Summary: The Critics are smoking crack...this movie was funny!!!!
Review: Most of the critic reviews I have read put this movie down. They're expecting a spectical and perfect acting in everything they see. Well if it was so easy they'd be the actors instead of the critics. I on the other hand rate a movie on a few things. My enjoyment of the film, (duh!) its replay value, and the story...whether it was believable or not, how fun it was to see what happens. Darren (Jason Biggs), Wayne (Steve Zahn), and J.D. (Jack Black) are entirely OBSESSED with Neil Diamond. And spent much time enjoying this fact together until Darren Silverman falls for over-controlling snobish Judith (Amanda Peet). Judith tells Darren that Wayne and J.D. are poor excuses for friends. Now its a fight for buddies Wayne and J.D. to win their friend back before Judith completely controls Darren and forbids him from seeing them anymore and Darren marries a woman that is not his true "one and only someone". First off...Jack Black is the man. This guy has some serious talent and ability to make you laugh. Whether or not he's got a funny line or just being himself...he can make you laugh. I thoroughly enjoyed this movie. It was alot of fun and laughs. The story, though of course a little wild and zanny at times, (but hey this is movie magic not real life) was funny atleast and hilarious in many parts. From scenes of breaking into Judith's house to kidnap her, to Wayne catching/being attacked by raccoons, from J.D. being convinced by the hostage Judith he's gay and loathing the fact for half the movie however trying to exploit it at the same time. (this was thoroughly funny) Saving Silverman is just load of entertainment crammed into about 90-120 minutes. Thoroughly enjoyable movie from beginning to end.

Summary: Absolute Brilliance
Review: Saving Silverman is an incredible comedy about a controlling girlfriend breaking up a lifelong group of friends, and those friends don't take it lying down. Even though the film stars Jason Biggs, Jack Black and Steve Zahn steal the show. Jack Black might be the best comedic character actor of our time. This movie is a must have for fans of good comedy, maybe not high-brow, but good comedy. And by the way, how many Jack Black fans spotted KG of Tenacious D as the annoying magician who tries to pick up Amanda Peet? Oh well, the movie is hilarious, it has beautiful women, and good actors, what more can you ask for?
