This full-throttle sophomoric comedy still feels forced and phony at times, which undercuts the manic efforts of its cast.

Dugan ... encourages one and all to be as frat-house gross as possible.

The script ... smacks of desperation beyond saving.

Expends a moderate budget and several attractive young performers to absolutely no consequence.

The audience is one who needs saving, not the title character, in this latest entry in the look-how-dumb-I-can-get comedy sweepstakes.

Peppered with naked senior citizens, trash-talking nuns and a bloody plastic surgery operation, "Silverman" will be best enjoyed by people who truly believe "gross" and "silly" are synonyms for "funny"...
