Saving Silverman

Evil Woman_720p(480P)

source: Evil Woman

This is basically another American Pie or Something about Mary clone. It has some pretty funny moments and some over the top garbage. It came recommended, and I guess I'd recommend it for a one time viewing for some laughs if you like brainless bathroom vulgarity which I do for the most part if done well enough. Those with a more developed sense of humor may not want to see this movie. It is catered for the younger (read less mature) people in the audience no doubt. Full Medal Jacket Sergeant man Lee Emry (sp) is at it again reprising his marine role as usual. The DVD has some pathetic outtakes, so it was a miss on that, but the movie should give you a few laughs at least hopefully. Ranked it close behind Harold and Kumar and behind 40-Year-Old Virgin. It's another entry in the beyond slap-stick gross out comedies of the last 8 years or so.

Saving Silverman is the best film of the new year. I've already managed to catch it twice and I can't wait to see it again. Steve Zahn and Jack Black show the kind of chemistry that Walter Matthau and Jack Lemmon had not to long ago. The constant site gags, witty banter, and great music make this one a keeper.

Weak, one-note farce which basically plays out like an exercise in cheap physical comedy. Zahn, Biggs, and Black are three longtime friends and Neil Diamond fanatics who have their own band, until Biggs meets a sexy vamp (Peet) who's determined to marry him and dictate his entire life. Not wanting to see his life ruined, his buddies resort to desperate means by kidnapping her and trying to set him up with an old high school crush. Seriously? Silly, far-fetched comedy somehow attracted an ideal cast, but they can't compensate for the ridiculous setup, crude humor, and strained physical comedy. Cast and crew seem desperate for cheap laughs. *½

This film was one of the stupidest I have seen in a long time. I kept watching it sure that it would redeem itself eventually, but even the end was unsatisfying. The jokes were not funny and it became too long. I can't believe that someone wanted to make this!

This movie was one of the bad ones of 2001! It needed lots of work, but there were some bright spots in this film. Jason Biggs known for "American Pie" was one of the gullible characters in the movie. Falling for a successful girl is one thing, but successful and overbearing is a no-no! His dimwit friends from school should have done better to get rid of that young hag! If Silverman was wise enough to know better than to marry, this movie could have been "saved". The two Amandas were great, Sandy(Amanda Detmer), is hot and I was turned on to her on the move in scene when she finished moving the couch, then she takes off her shirt. To me, she's showing her love to him, and that's one of the bright spots in the movie. Judith(Amanda Peet) was great playing controlling and humorless. This is really about true love vs. forced love. And true love always prevail, but even with Neil Diamond, this movie failed to be a hit. But there are some scenes that are promising. Rating 2 out of 5 stars.

This movie is really pointless I reckon. The acting isn't even that good even though you would expect some good comedy since it stars Jack Black and Jason Biggs. Even they can't seem to save this dumb movie. The story line is pathetic. I don't see why they got normally talented actors to waste their time making this movie. This is a comedy gone completely wrong. What a waste of time and money.

Ok, this has got to be one of THE top ten funniest movies of all time. Right away, one can tell by seeing Jack Black in the previews. That alone makes this movie a gold mine. I must admit, Jason "stupid" Biggs almost ruined this movie for me. But seeing as how he was playing the idiot of the movie, it was bearable. There was not a 30 second span of time of which I didn't laugh. Seriously. Sure, there were some crude jokes, some of which I could've done without. And yes, I could've gone without the "Jack Black is gay" side story. But all in all, this movie ROCKED!!! Definite knee slapper. The people around me in the theater got pretty annoyed at all my laughing. But I'm sorry, it could not be repressed. Might I also give my applaud to Jack Black's other masterpieces: The Cable Guy, High Fidelity, and Bongwater. I would recommend this movie to ALL those WHIPPED guys out there. Especially my good friend LUKE.
