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

The script ... smacks of desperation beyond saving. full review
If Judith ... were asked to render a diagnosis of what's wrong with Saving Silverman, she might note that it displays a pathological fear and hatred of women. full review
So bad in so many different ways that perhaps you should see it, as an example of the lowest slopes of the bell-shaped curve. full review
