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.

It's not meant to be taken seriously. You just need to take it in and ride it out! Be open to the ridiculousness giggle fest. If Neal Diamond and Raccoon Slap stick Humor had a baby it would explain this movie.But, I'm 26yr okd and I am happily writing a response for this film in 2017, Because So far after thefact, it introduced me to Neal Diamond's famous hit song "Hello" And show cased Jason Bigg's only "talent" after American Pie.It really is an excessive is Hollywood's attempted to bank in on things they think would make money quickly at the time.*Jason Biggs CHECK *Jack Black CHECK *Neal Diamond CHECK *Odd Animal Relations CHECK!!!!All and All, Take it for what it is and Chuckle Profusely.

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.

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.
