Synopsis

This romantic comedy is from director, former actor, and regular Adam Sandler collaborator Dennis Dugan. Darren Silverman (Jason Biggs) is a loser at love, so his best friends J.D. (Jack Black) and Wayne (Steve Zahn) set him up on a date with his dream girl, Judith (Amanda Peet). A serious relationship develops and threatens to become a marriage, but J.D. and Wayne come to the conclusion that Judith is totally wrong for Darren. In an effort to reunite their pal with Sandy (Amanda Detmer), his long-lost love from school, they kidnap Judith. However, the wily bride to be is at least one step ahead of her captors in the wits department. Saving Silverman also stars R. Lee Ermey and Neil Diamond in a cameo role as himself. ~ Karl Williams, All Movie Guide

Saving Silverman: AMG Review
Karl Williams , AMG

Egregiously stupid and alarmingly misogynistic, the best thing that can be said about Saving Silverman is that it is an utter waste of a single talented performer. After career-making supporting roles in the television series Mr. Show and Tenacious D, as well as the film High Fidelity (2000), comic actor Jack Black suffers under the weight of an underdeveloped role that allows him only the barest elbow room to infuse his character with manic business. Among the numerous, insulting conceits contained in this "comedy" from director Dennis Dugan: Black and costar Steve Zahn as contemporaries of the title character played by Jason Biggs, who is clearly about ten years younger than his co-stars; a trio of Gen-X slackers who are inexplicably into Neil Diamond (who plays himself in a cameo); and Amanda Peet making one bad, woman-hating picture after another. While the film does contain a few chuckle-inducing pratfalls, Silverman simply can't be saved; it's dead on arrival. ~ Karl Williams, All Movie Guide
