Plot:
Darren (Jason Biggs of American Pie) is convinced that he'll never know love, since his one true love moved away during high school. To cheer him up, Darren's best friends Wayne (Steve Zahn, ...( read more
), That Thing You Do) and J.D. (Jack Black, High Fidelity) hook him up with Judith (Amanda Peet, The Whole Nine Yards)--little suspecting that Judith will tear their friendship apart. Judith wastes no time in taking over Darren's life, exiling his friends, and burning his beloved Neil Diamond records. If only Wayne and J.D. can bring Darren back together with his high school sweetheart (Amanda Detmer), who's about to become a nun. Saving Silverman is unquestionably of the There's Something About Mary school of comedy, throwing together absurd characters and over-the-top gags (for example, a scene of Darren getting butt implants, per Judith's orders). It doesn't quite balance everything, but Black and Zahn are engaging comic talents. Also featuring R. Lee Ermey as the boy's deranged high school football coach, whose advice continues to guide their lives, as well as a surprise appearance by Neil Diamond himself. --Bret Fetzer
Well c'mon - it's Jack Black and Steve Zahn - early Jack Black and Steve Zahn at that - raunchy & sophmoric humor - ahhhhhhhhhh they're adora-torable though. They are. Can't help it This was what it was - certainly had it's funny moments and the Neil Diamond cameo actually worked pretty welll. Fun for a lazy afternoon. (iffin' you like this kind of...stuff)

While the Niel Diamond stuff is funny, I remember hating this movie... but it's just not my kind of comedy.
This was overall well cast except I agree with other people here that Jason Biggs is disposable. Lots of funny little scenes though don't be too surprised by an occasional sight gag or insane plot twist that evokes gut-splitting laughter.
Tacky, sexist and gross aptly describe the humour in this post-adolescent flick aobut the friendship of three devoted Neil Diamond fans. When a domineering young woman begins to take over Silverman's life, his pal take extreme measures to get him back. Don't be too surprised by an occasional sight gag or insane plot twist that evokes gut-splitting laughter.
Overall well cast except I agree with other people here that Jason Biggs is disposable. Lots of funny little scenes though and lots of Neil.
Heeheehee! Jack Black and Steve Zahn: you'd think thier combined geniuses would either clash or result in some sort of goof-splosion, but they work so well together. It's truly breathtaking to behold. And some other people are probably in it too. Actually Amanda Peet is pretty good in it, and makes a good harridan castratikron. I don't know if this film is for everyone, but I get the impression that the ones who like it, really REALLY like it. Like me.
An okay flick that has a few laughs and goofy gags but a lot of it was predictable and some of it was way too over the top.
I had no idea this movie had the parenthetical title...still, Black and Zahn make it funny. Jason Biggs should quit acting.
A crazy movie about Darren (Jason Biggs) who never thinks he'll find true love again. Ends up with an Evil woman (Amanda Peet). Boy, does she play her part well. Jack Black & Steve Zahn are great comedic duo. They play Biggs wacky friends.
Definitely funny. I like the part where the guys were lying winded from being tipped out the window! The jabs at the justice system are interesting as well. Weird stuff.
Just caught it on TV, dumb, gross and funny. I kinda liked it. Would have liked it better minus a couple gross parts and Amanda Peet.
Not too shabby. There's a few funny moments that make up for the leftover dull moments. With the exception of Amanda Peet, I really liked the entire cast.
Very funny film. Jack Black in his earlier days is hilarious and everyone else does well for their parts.
Steve Zahn and Jack Black totally make this movie, anyone could have done Biggs part but those two were freak'in hilarious, and Amanda Peet is FINE!
This is a funny film. They couldn't have picked a better female lead than Amanda Peet. You really believe she could kick someone's butt. And the rest are just great comedic actors.
pridy funny. darrens love moves and he gets engaged with a girl who he then thinks shes dead but shes actually kidnapped by his best friends.
I'm a fan of Amanda Peet's acting ability, but it seems her ability to choose movies isn't up there. The cast sounds like a comedy one-two punch, but the story and script aren't funny. The movie tries too hard to accomplish a laugh or two. It's a pity that with a cast like Saving Silverman, that it fails so horribly. Black and Zahn try to relieve Biggs of his overpowering fiancee (Peet). They even move as far as kidnapping her. Not worth it, unless nothing else is on television.
I am in this movie! At the very end of it you catch a 2 second view of me in the audience! My whole 2 seconds of fame!!! LOL
