Nessieldwi Very interesting film. Was caught on the premise when seeing the trailer but unsure as to what the outcome would be for the showing. As it turns out, it was a very good film.
Ella-May O'Brien Each character in this movie — down to the smallest one — is an individual rather than a type, prone to spontaneous changes of mood and sometimes amusing outbursts of pettiness or ill humor.
Mathilde the Guild Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.
Janis One of the most extraordinary films you will see this year. Take that as you want.
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.
SnoopyStyle Wayne LeFessier (Steve Zahn), J.D. McNugent (Jack Black), and Darren Silverman (Jason Biggs) are childhood best friends Neil Diamond fanatics. Wayne was the third string high school quarterback. J.D. was the idiot mascot. Darren was a hopelessly romantic male cheerleader pining for fellow cheerleader Sandy (Amanda Detmer). Psychologist Judith (Amanda Peet) is bitchy and has Darren wrapped around her finger. She forbids him from hanging with his two loser friends. In desperation, they kidnap her to stop their wedding. Sandy comes back into their lives. She lost her love Luigi in a trapeze accident and is going into the nunnery.It's surprising that these three comedy stars couldn't do better. Amanda Peet is not the best at playing the bitch. That's one of its big problems. She doesn't really give the audience permission to root for the two idiots. The Steve Zahn, Jack Black duo have some good bumbling fun. Eventually Peet does get angry enough to be funny. Director Dennis Dugan had made a couple of Adam Sandler movies before this and this has very similar sensibilities. Sadly he has continued to follow Adam Sandler as they both slide into the comedy wilderness.
Terryfan Wayne (Steve Zahn) J.D. (Jack Black) and Darren Silverman (Jason Biggs)have been best friends since they could remember and their hero is Neil Diamond and they even have a band to honor their hero.However when Judith (Amanda Peet)enter the picture and trys to control Darren's life and forcing him to marry her, Wayne and J.D. must find a way to save their friend from marrying this evil woman.The movie has been a favorite of mine since I first watch it sure it was a crazy movie but the humor in it was so good.So if they want to save their best friend from this woman they kidnap Judith and hold her as a prisoner so they could get Darren back with his old love Sandy (Amanda Detmer).The music has a good mix of rock and classic rock music mostly from Neil Diamond however it did seem to do well.The story was a creative one for a comedy movie such as this one and you don't see that too often anymore in a movie that is made to just make you laugh.The movie has some of the best lines I ever heard such as this one has to be my personal favorite J.D.: Judith Escaped Wayne:.... Dehrrrrrrrr. That always makes me laugh so hard that I had to hear it over and over and over again and I will stay be laughing.Some say this was a bad movie but I really enjoy it and I recently started watching it again because it had a good cast and a funny story and lots of laughs that make you keep coming back for me.So Overall I am glad to say that Saving Silverman is one of my favorite movies in my DVD collection and should be worth checking out.I give Saving Silverman a 8 out of 10 thanks for reading my review and take care.Judith Escaped. Dehrrrrrrrr.
