March 28, 2012Zany ensues when a nice guy takes up with one scheming, manipulative itch ... well, almost zany, as halfway through the movie I realized that I hadn't laughed once, a comedy deathknell. The actors are personable enough, the situations seems ripe for jest, and yet: blah.

January 11, 2012Pathetic characters, dumb plot without logic and silly scenes, this "romantic" comedy presents a crude and weak script that don't take a lot of laughs. Rotten.

March 31, 2010Sometimes 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 loser... read more -
March 11, 2010I think that Saving Silverman is almost so bizarre and deranged that you can't help but find fascination in what some might call friendship. It is a movie about two nut cases that literally can't survive without their friend so they decide to sabotage his relationship in order to... read more

July 4, 2009Saving Silverman is funny...
The actors are really good. Honestly the actors are probably what saves the movie, the plot is decent, but it's not genious. It's something that we've all sort of seen before and had it not been for the great cast this movie would not have been worth... read more -

January 27, 2008Tacky, sexist and gross aptly describe the humour in this post-adolescent flick aobut the friendship of three devoted Neil Diamond fans. When a domineering young woman begins to take over Silverman's life, his pal take extreme measures to get him back. Don't be too surprised by a... read more

December 6, 2007Heeheehee! Jack Black and Steve Zahn: you'd think thier combined geniuses would either clash or result in some sort of goof-splosion, but they work so well together. It's truly breathtaking to behold. And some other people are probably in it too. Actually Amanda Peet is pretty go... read more

October 3, 2007Eh. I didn't think it was all that special. There were a few moments in it but that was all.

Dugan ... encourages one and all to be as frat-house gross as possible.
February 16, 2001
Peter Travers, Rolling Stone
The script ... smacks of desperation beyond saving.

Edward Crouse, Village Voice
Despite an early, zesty deluge of gags ... it soon settles down to an anxious man-a-thon. Full Review

Stephen Hunter, Washington Post
Expends a moderate budget and several attractive young performers to absolutely no consequence. Full Review

Wesley Morris, San Francisco Chronicle
The movie can barely muster the bravery to be even Dude, Where's My Car stoopid. Full Review

How bad is Saving Silverman? This is a movie in which a man is shown getting butt-cheek implants.
