Memorable, crazy movie

Brilliant and touching

Good films always raise compelling questions, whether the format is fiction or documentary fact.

The thing I enjoyed most about the film is the fact that it doesn't shy away from being a super-sized-cliche;

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.

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.

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.

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.
