  Zany ensues when a nice guy takes up with one scheming, manipulative itch ... well, almost zany, as halfway through the movie I realized that I hadn't laughed once, a comedy deathknell. The actors are personable enough, the situations seems ripe for jest, and yet: blah.

• Lucas M

  
  Pathetic characters, dumb plot without logic and silly scenes, this "romantic" comedy presents a crude and weak script that don't take a lot of laughs. Rotten.

  Sometimes a silly movie is really funny. This is one of those. Jack Black is perfect as J.D., a well-meaning but moronic slob. Steve Zahn is great as his slightly brighter buddy, Wayne. Darren Silverman (Jason Biggs), the title character and the third member of the trio of losers… More
  Sometimes a silly movie is really funny. This is one of those. Jack Black is perfect as J.D., a well-meaning but moronic slob. Steve Zahn is great as his slightly brighter buddy, Wayne. Darren Silverman (Jason Biggs), the title character and the third member of the trio of losers who've had a bond and a band (Neil Diamond tribute band) since grade school. Although the title character, and the man who the plot spins about, Silverman is seldom in the thick of the fun. That is provided by the antics of his two buddies in trying to save him from Judith (Amanda Peet), a successful educated women who finds Silverman convenient to have around after feigning interest in him to fend off a magician clumsily trying to hit on her. Their relationship is that of female domination of a willingly submissive male, although overt use of that terminology would ruin the movie. The domination includes Judith denying Darren sexual favors but demanding it from him. Darren's true "one and only" love is Sandy (Amanda Detmer), who left town with her family while in grade school, but moves back shortly after Darren gets besotted by Judith. Sandy is a novitiate who is to take her vows in a week.

  I think that Saving Silverman is almost so bizarre and deranged that you can't help but find fascination in what some might call friendship. It is a movie about two nut cases that literally can't survive without their friend so they decide to sabotage his relationship in order to win him back. The characters are amazingly well developed, well at least when it comes to Jack Black and Steve Zahn. For that alone I will defend this movie.

  Saving Silverman is funny... The actors are really good. Honestly the actors are probably what saves the movie, the plot is decent, but it's not genious. It's something that we've all sort of seen before and had it not been for the great cast this movie would not have been worth watching. I enjoyed it though and it made me laugh out loud quite a bit. I'd recommend it for friends, family, and just a night where you wanna sit back and laugh. It's nothing special, but it's not horrible, its an average comedy.

  The first 30 to 40 minutes are brilliant, dat is about it.

  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… More
  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.

  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… More
  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.

• Jason S

  
  Eh. I didn't think it was all that special. There were a few moments in it but that was all.

• Rachel F

  
  This is a really funny movie. I liked it. Steve Zahn and Jack Black are hilarious.

• Tim B

  
  Disappeared without a trace, but I didn' think it was all that bad.

• vieras e

  
  There were moments when I was genuinely amused. The ending was so predictable and lame, though.

• danny d

  
  just not that funny

• Kalel J

  
  There are some laugh out loud moments in this comedy that focuses it's humuor on character differences and their clashes.

  Thought you should know. Was a 2-days-ago development, and I was going to leave tonight. Thanks, corporate languor! (airplane movies to and from Chicago)

  seeing the three of the headliners in this film chear on neild diamond was only one of the funniest bits in this film

• Sarah P

  
  Jack Black is the reason to see this movie.

• Christopher B

  
  I remember being excited that JB was in a feature film. That excitement vanished about half an hour into this dud.

• Sean S

  
  Good performances all the way around elevate some fairly elementary material. Lots of Neil Diamond music not for the faint of heart.
