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.

Saving Silverman (2001): Dir: Dennis Dugan / Cast: Jason Biggs, Amanda Peet, Jack Black, Steve Zahn, R. Lee Ermey: There is much to save Silverman from when considering the screenplay he is in. He is being saved from a dominating relationship and the fading friendship of two males. Silverman and his two buddies are introduced but Amanda Peet possesses ownership of him. When he announces his engagement they kidnap Peet and struggle to set him up with an ex-girlfriend. Typical and predictable with director Dennis Dugan doing better than average. He previously made the pathetic Problem Child and the horrible Happy Gilmore. Jason Biggs is typecast as the unsympathetic wimp Silverman who can do nothing but wimp out and cave in every time Peet threatens to withhold sex. Peet is given the overbearing personality of a lawn mower. Jack Black and Steve Zahn are the film's only saving graces as Silverman's deadbeat friends who kidnap Peet then suffer in their inability to keep her contained. Much of this is forced humour with laughs that are far and few between. R. Lee Ermey plays a role similar to his Full Metal Jacket performance yet somehow he comes off as much more funny in that serious film. It isn't a new feeling when friends grow distant due to other relationships but unfortunately this theme fails to materialize effectively just like this lanky screenplay. Score: 5 / 10

Once was a beautiful evening in Finland. I was feeling a little sick (I'm okay now don't worry) and I needed a movie which had to be bad enough to bore me to sleep. So I picked Saving Silverman.From the first second until the last moment of the film, I was getting more and more haunted by the thought I was never going to sleep again. This movie was so bad from the beginning, I could describe it as torture! Who can I sue for this??The acting. Yeah let's start with the acting. Amanda Peet -who I normally love to watch, was painfully sad to watch. It reminded me of me and my friends in a school play called "Panic in the tunnel" -which was part of this gay oriented saga of ours, where people would end up in awkward situations and start to f**k each other. We were ten years old.Steve Zahn and Jack Black were almost okay I guess, but they were just themselves. And their normal routine was not good enough for me. Jason Biggs, oh God I hate that f*****g guy now more than ever. You know I think everyone has this one or two actors they just can't stand? For me it's J.Biggs. He was horrible. So horrible! I'm crying right now...The plot: (no spoilers)So stupid. And I really love stupid comedy! Poop jokes, fine by me. People playing retarded people, well okay let's see how it goes. But this was like an amateur hour, and not the real amateur hour, but the after party for the class where drugs, and booze are free and someone just forgot to shut off the camera..I'm so sorry, I can't do this anymore.. you have to see this. But remember don't shoot the messenger!Ps. I'm quite sure Satan ghostwrote this.

You don't expect much from these king of teen date movies.There is hell lot of them in Hollywood.When I first saw Saving Silverman on TV, I expected very little but this movie surpassed my expectation.I've seen many movies like "there is something about Mary" ,"harold & kumar","animal house" but Saving Silverman is the one which beats the others.The combination of Zack and Black is the strong point of this movie and don't forget the cameo of Neil Diamond which adds to the strength of the movie.You are guaranteed a stomach ache by laughing seeing this movie.Seeing Silverman was fun from the word go.7/10 for Silverman
