Es una pena que ya no existan cómicos que recurran al verdadero ingenio para lograr lo que cada vez es más difícil, que es hacer reír al público

Synopsis: Darren Silverman (Jason Biggs, AMERICAN PIE) and his pals Wayne (Steve Zahn) and J.D. (Jack Black) are close friends since high school who perform together in a Neil Diamond cover band. Enter... Darren Silverman (Jason Biggs, AMERICAN PIE) and his pals Wayne (Steve Zahn) and J.D. (Jack Black) are close friends since high school who perform together in a Neil Diamond cover band. Enter Darren's shrewd psychologist bride-to-be Judith (Amanda Peet, THE WHOLE NINE YARDS), who constantly schemes to keep Darren from hanging out with his old slacker buddies. Anxious to hold onto their right to spend time with Darren, Wayne and J.D. decide that they must stop at nothing to prevent the wedding from taking place and reunite Darren with his first love--who is about to become a nun! Dennis Dugan's (HAPPY GILMORE) comedy attempts to harness the white-hot comedic talents of Zahn and Black, throwing in an inspirational appearance from Neil Diamond himself, to tell a hilarious tale of undying friendship.

Reviews for Saving Silverman
A sexy Amanda Peet takes down the dimwitted duo of Steve Zahn and Jack Black in a comedy where everyone but the title character is entertaining.
Such promise, such disappointment - such a great cast - how could this movie have come out so badly?
I am embarrassed for having laughed at it, but not too embarrassed to suggest that you might laugh as well.
It's hard to believe that it is only February and we already have a contender for worst picture of the year.
This knuckleheaded youth comedy cocktail doesn't deliver enough kicks to trigger more than average rounds.
This full-throttle sophomoric comedy still feels forced and phony at times, which undercuts the manic efforts of its cast.
A relentless misfire, ineptly stealing from a number of crude but more ably executed comedies.
Despite an early, zesty deluge of gags ... it soon settles down to an anxious man-a-thon.
The nagging problem with the movie isn't how dumb or crude it is (which it is) but how cruel it seems.
