	SAVING SILVERMAN
		Silverman's story focuses on three lifelong Seattle friends who, as shown in the first few minutes of the film, have gone from being nerdy kids to nerdy adults with kooky jobs.
		Darren Silverman (Biggs) is the entertainment director at a local nursing home.
		Wayne and J.D. know they need to do something drastic to save Darren from the devious dish, and hatch a plan to kidnap Judith, stage her death and fix Darren up with his old flame (Amanda Detmer), a shapely, soon-to-be-nun from a family of circus performers.

	JoBlo reviews the movie "Saving Silverman"
		Saving Silverman was better than I expected it to be.
		Saving Silverman is one of my favorite films to be put out in 2001.
		"Saving Silverman" is effortlessly composed of crude humor and sex jokes that are just thrown into the script at will, without the least bit of story consistency at all.

		But I will share with you that which stood out in Saving Silverman which can be useful to they who wait for a movie to come out on tape and for our overseas friends who typically do not get US movies for some time after they have run their course in America.
		Fessbeggle, for some reason, locked sights on Silverman and proceeded to change him from "one of the guys" with the trio of friends since high school into a responsible, high-society puppet of hers.
		Silverman tried his best to break away from Fessbeggle and chime with Sandy, but Fessbeggle did her best to save face and destroy any chances of such a development.

	DVD Verdict Review - Saving Silverman
		Saving Silverman is presented in 1.85:1 anamorphic widescreen (as well as a full frame version on side B).
		Saving Silverman's transfer looks very good, which is not surprising considering this is a very new title.
		Saving Silverman includes enough supplemental material to warrant this almost a "special edition." First up is a commentary track by director Dennis Dugan.

	Saving Silverman: Special R Rated Version (2001)
		Put simply, Silverman’s a wussy boy, and when he meets Judith (Peet), she discovers how easily manipulated he can be.
		Saving Silverman appears in an aspect ratio of approximately 1.85:1 on this single-sided, single-layered DVD; the image has been enhanced for 16X9 televisions.
		Note that although the DVD’s case states that a fullscreen version of Saving Silverman appears on this platter, that is definitely not accurate.

	Saving Silverman - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

		In the end, Judith and Wayne hook up as well (after Wayne forces her to admit that she liked being held hostage), and J.D. comes to grips with the fact that he is gay and marries the coach.

	Saving Silverman (2001): Jason Biggs, Amanda Peet, Jack Black, Steve Zahn - PopMatters Film Review
		In Saving Silverman, Peet is again set against an array of moronic guys, but this time, she gets hers.
		Saving Silverman proves there's nothing this girl won't do on camera, including being tasered in the butt, sprayed with beer, and dragged around like a sack of potatoes by Jack Black, not to mention karate-chopping R. Lee Ermey, and perhaps most courageously, licking Arby's Roast Beef Sauce off Steve Zahn's finger.
		And so J.D. and Wayne embark on a plan to save their friend from a sure-to-be calamitous marriage: they kidnap Judith and set up Darren with the girl they know to be the love of his life, former cheerleader and trapeze artist, and current nun-in-training Sandy (Amanda Detmer, smooshed by a bus in Final Destination).

	Saving Silverman \| movies : ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY
		In ''Silverman,'' by contrast, the filmmakers aren't adept enough to distinguish playful pokes from vicious knifewounds, and the recipients of their pranks are actually, horribly demeaned.
		There's a welcome place at the movies for good, dumb fun, but ''Saving Silverman'' is bad, dumb, and not as funny as it thinks it is, and it's important to make a distinction.
		Which is why ''Saving Silverman'' got an F. Now, rather than wasting time on the message board telling me I stink, how about discussing what's the worst thing you've seen lately, and why.

	Saving Silverman - Movie Review
		Saving Silverman is a film you pray for.
		Saving Silverman is an often-funny farce -- and probably the best comedy we're going to see until the summer -- but it's a poor imitation of some much better movies, desperately longing to be Woody Allen while ending up as Adam Sandler.
		Essentially a romantic comedy, Saving Silverman puts Jason Biggs in the unenviable role as Darren Silverman -- the straight man against crackups Steve Zahn and Jack Black, playing his two best friends since he was a wee lad.

	Amazon.com: Saving Silverman (PG-13 version): DVD: Jason Biggs,Steve Zahn,Norman Armour,Brett Armstrong,Jack ... (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		Saving Silverman is unquestionably of the There's Something About Mary school of comedy, throwing together absurd characters and over-the-top gags (for example, a scene of Darren getting butt implants, per Judith's orders).
		Saving Silverman is an example of a movie so stupid that it's actually pretty good.
		Saving Silverman and Hannibal were both released in the USA on the same day.

		From grade school (when they were all picked on), to high school (when Wayne played on the football squad, J.D. was the team's mascot and Darren was its star cheerleader), to today (rocking side by side in "Diamonds in the Rough", their Neil Diamond cover band), these guys have always stuck together.
		In a desperate and hilarious last-ditch attempt to save their friend from Judith's grip - and after receiving some ill-advised help from their take-no-prisoners high school football coach - Wayne and J.D. kidnap Judith and fake her death, leaving Darren free to fall for Sandy.
		Demonstrating cunning and kick-ass karate moves that leave her captors in the dust, Judith escapes and pulls Darren back under her control.

	Saving Silverman
		Entertainment Weekly magazine actually gave it an "F" (this is the same magazine, however, that goes on ad nasuem about a waste of air time like "Survivor II"), and it has died a quick death at the box office.
		But I actually enjoyed "Saving Silverman"...sure it was pretty dopey at times, and down right disgusting at other times...but it was an entertaining comedy with some funny performances.
		Believe it or not, but "Silverman" is actually a more mean-spirited and therefore funnier comedy than "Big Daddy", which got a little too cutesly-wutesy and ooey-gooey towards the end.

	SPLICEDwire \| "Saving Silverman" review (2001)
		secured his annual nod with the charmless "Head Over Heels." And now along comes "Saving Silverman," a battle-of-the-sexes burlesque so idiotic, contrived and inept that there's almost no chance a worse movie will be released all year.
		But even if "Saving Silverman" wasn't tactless (Peet's ridiculous wardrobe is designed to draw attention to her constant bralessness), arduous, irritating, unoriginal, blunderingly directed and desperately unfunny, it would still have the enormous drag of its loathsome cast of characters -- especially the leads.
		Not only are Biggs and Peet entirely unsympathetic, but each has such a repulsive personality that you'll start to hope they'll each live the rest of their lives in solitary confinement, because you wouldn't wish these losers on anybody.

	Saving Silverman (2001)
		Perhaps what's most disappointing about Saving Silverman is that between the cast and the story's basic premise, it had the potential to be a pretty good film.
		When she goes so far as to say that he can't be associated with his friends JD (Jack Black) and Wayne (Steve Zahn), Darren complies, much to the dismay of his two obnoxious buddies.
		From there the story focuses on JD and Wayne, as they are willing to do just about anything in order to save their friend from a horrid relationship.

		It's one thing for the whole to be less than the sum of its parts, but it's another thing for the whole to be downright awful.
		At least, that's the case with the largely tasteless, painfully unfunny, and almost unwatchable "Saving Silverman." Despite the presence of promising talent like Jason Biggs, Amanda Peet, Steve Zahn, and Jack Black, it's safe to say that they were all more promising elsewhere.
		Before it dies completely, "Saving Silverman" actually shows some signs of a heartbeat.

		Darren Silverman (Biggs) and his friends Wayne (Zahn) and J.D (Black) make up a three-man Neil Diamond tribute band.
		Judith, a power-hungry psychiatrist controlling Silverman’s (as Darren is known throughout the movie) life, has got to be one of the worst developed characters in recent teen comedies.
		It's most evident in the scene where Silverman gets zapped and lights a bar on fire (the high-point of the trailer and TV spots).

		SAVING SILVERMAN, by Dennis Dugan, the director of BIG DADDY, has a poster with a giant-sized thumbs down.
		The story concerns a guy, Darren Silverman (Jason Biggs), who is perpetually unlucky in love, and a woman, Judith (Amanda Peet), who has him under her thumb, hence the intended meaning of the movie's poster.
		This might be expected, but the awful performances by Steve Zahn and Jack Black, as Darren's buddies Wayne and J.D., are a surprise.

		The point is that if any part of you is a dude or craves dudeliness, in however ass-backward and supposedly ironic a fashion, you'll find moments of ecstasy in "Saving Silverman," one of those rare Hollywood gut-busters in which the funniest stuff isn't necessarily in the trailer.
		Much of the soul and irrepressible cheer of "Saving Silverman" lies in the pairing of Jack Black and Steve Zahn as J.D. and Wayne, two incompetents on the far slope of their 20s who must fight the good fight to free their pal Darren Silverman (Jason Biggs) from the wrong woman.
		Biggs, who soared to stardom with his role in "American Pie," is almost lost amid the antic frenzy of "Saving Silverman" as straight man Darren.

		I scoffed when I saw the trailer for Saving Silverman, which proudly announced that the film was "from the director of Big Daddy!" Now that's what I call a draw!
		Unfortunately, Saving Silverman's running time is pretty much filled up with the two would-be protagonists being beaten up by Amanda Peet, a sight gag that's funny once but wears thin very quickly.
		There are a few humorous lines, a funny sight gag here and there, and the presence of Neil Diamond livens things up a bit, but the jokes are overwhelmingly dumb, and not in a good way.
