Protraph Lack of good storyline.

Organnall Too much about the plot just didn't add up, the writing was bad, some of the scenes were cringey and awkward,

Michelle Ridley The movie is wonderful and true, an act of love in all its contradictions and complexity

Paynbob It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.

dierregi I started watching this "movie" on the TV, hoping for some light relief. What I found instead was: Jack Black, Steve Zahn, the guy from American Pie (whose name I can't remember and don't care to check) and Amanda Peet. They played characters with different names, but given the extremely limited range of these "actors", names are irrelevant. Guess what? Black was an immature musician-slacker; Zahn was a dim-witted pushover; American Pie-guy was a passive weirdo and Peet wore a lot of plunging necklines. The plot, if there was one, was so irrelevant that I started wondering why women get breasts enlargement. If they wore what Peet wear in this, they would get full male attention, regardless of their breasts size.I digress… back to the plot… whatever it was, it was so well disguised by a truckload of gross jokes that I lost track of it. I guess the plot was an excuse for Black to be Black and for Peet to strut around. If you find that entertaining, then you might enjoy this….

starshiptrooper100 I just streamed this and it seemed a little slow and stupid with the Neil Diamond tribute band in the beginning but then it gets really funny after the kidnapping. I'm not a particularly big fan of Jason Biggs but I stuck with it because generally everything Jack Black is in is gold but here I would say Amanda Peet puts on the command performance. I previously have not been familiar with her but here she is just ravishing and dominating at the same time. Let's just say she can really handle herself! The funniest dialog is the impromptu psychoanalyzing but I can't say too much about that without giving away plot points.

stacyswolf This is one of my favorite movies. I can watch it over and over again. Being a Neil Diamond fan just puts the icing on the cake for me. Clever, funny, slapstick comedy at it's best. It reminded me of the old Laverne and Shirley episodes with lots of physical comedy and witty one liners. My daughter's and I quote this movie over and over again. Definitely worth the watch if you're in a the mood to laugh. The casting is excellent and all actors did a great job. I'm normally not a big Jack Black fan but he was excellent in this. There are many lines you will be quoting again and again. If you like Joe Dirt or Harold and Kumar, you will like this movie.

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.
