Paul Magne Haakonsen I remember that I saw this movie many years ago, but couldn't really recall whether it was a funny movie or not. I happened to find it again on Netflix, so I decided to sit down and watch it again.It turned out that the movie was actually funny, and I did recall the basics of the storyline. Darren (played by Jason Biggs) is about to marry Judith (played by Amanda Peet), a thing that Darren's two best friends, Wayne (played by Steve Zahn) and J.D. (played by Jack Black) does not want to see happen.The cast in the movie was good, and I especially enjoyed the roles played by Jack Black, Steve Zahn and Amanda Peet, because they really carried the movie so well.There are some good laughs here and there throughout the course of the movie."Saving Silverman" can be watched more than once; you just have to wait a significant amount of years before doing so.

aaronjensensharts Everything else about this movie is lovely. It is easily one of the funniest things I have ever seen, and everything about it other than Biggs, is awesome. Ermey, Black, Peet, and Hahn overact every single thing they do, to hilarious effect, and the plot line is stupid enough to be a farce of itself, which just sets up the actors for all of the stupidity even better. 10/10 despite Biggs' awful crap, as the rest make up for it in droves.

Weary Cannibal It's not meant to be taken seriously. You just need to take it in and ride it out! Be open to the ridiculousness giggle fest. If Neal Diamond and Raccoon Slap stick Humor had a baby it would explain this movie.But, I'm 26yr okd and I am happily writing a response for this film in 2017, Because So far after thefact, it introduced me to Neal Diamond's famous hit song "Hello" And show cased Jason Bigg's only "talent" after American Pie.It really is an excessive is Hollywood's attempted to bank in on things they think would make money quickly at the time.*Jason Biggs CHECK *Jack Black CHECK *Neal Diamond CHECK *Odd Animal Relations CHECK!!!!All and All, Take it for what it is and Chuckle Profusely.

ConDeuce "Saving Silverman" is about as far away from, say, "Citizen Kane" for film greatness as any film could. But it's not a clunker either. For what it is, it's a very enjoyable, occasionally hilarious movie pretty much guaranteed to give anyone a good time.Movie history (especially in the 1930s) is littered with small comedy films that were never meant to be critical, award winning films but made for audiences that wanted to laugh like "We're Not Dressing" and any number of WC Fields' films (Fields' "Million Dollar Legs" seems very similar in tone to "Saving Silverman"). Unpretentious, funny and entertaining films and "Saving Silverman" falls squarely into that category. It's dopey but harmless and frequently charming. All of the actors are in-synch and none of them hold back especially Amanda Peet as the woman from hell. She's beautiful and you can completely understand why Darren would fall for her the way he does. Peet's willingness to give it her all (especially at the end) is key to the movie working as well as it does. Any vanity on her part would've sunk the already flimsy premise but she goes into it wholeheartedly. Peet's not given enough credit here.Yes, Black and Zahn are great. That pretty much goes without saying. Biggs is well cast but he's essentially playing a male victim. The role is largely just his puzzled reactions. Last but not least is Amanda Detmer as Sandy in a role straight out of 1930s comedy: the good, down to earth girl who ever so slightly off her rocker (but in a good appealing way). R. Lee Ermey rounds out the cast in a silly but memorable role. Who would've thunk that the uber-intimidating drill sergeant from "Full Metal Jacket" would turn out to be one of the most reliable character actors around?"Saving Silverman" is a simple, funny little film. Not great but it was not made to be.
