Saving Silverman (2001)
TOMATOMETER
AUDIENCE SCORE
Critic Consensus: Dragged down by a plot lacking any sense of logic and obnoxious, unsympathetic characters, this comedy is more crude and mean-spirited than funny.

Critic Reviews for Saving Silverman
All Critics (100) | Top Critics (34) | Fresh (18) | Rotten (82) | DVD (12)
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.
A relentless misfire, ineptly stealing from a number of crude but more ably executed comedies.
The script ... smacks of desperation beyond saving.
Despite an early, zesty deluge of gags ... it soon settles down to an anxious man-a-thon.
Expends a moderate budget and several attractive young performers to absolutely no consequence.
Audience Reviews for Saving Silverman
J.D.: Isn't one-and-only supposed to be, like, one? And only? "They swore nothing could come between them. Then she came along." Saving Silverman is a movie so stupid, so ridiculous, so weird, so fucked up; that I actually ended up liking it a little. Not a lot, but a little, which is a lot more than I thought I would. When I say this movie is stupid, I mean it is one of the stupidest movies I have ever seen. It's so stupid, you have to give it props. I am of the belief that Dennis Dugan and company tried, with Saving Silverman, to make most moronic movie of all-time. So their attempt was a success. It may not merit any applause, nor should it mean that you should watch it. In fact I wouldn't wish this movie on anyone. It takes a special type of person to take any satisfaction in Saving Silverman at all. And I guess I'm one of them. I would talk about the plot here, but all you'd be able to read is plot gibberish. The film is very episodic and extremely wacky and bizarre. The cast do what they can to make it all the more ridiculous and damn if they didn't succeed. Jack Black, Steve Zahn, Jason Biggs, Amanda Peet, and Ermey all turn in the most ridiculous performances of their lives. It's a good thing in this sense because it is what the film merited. I'm not going to go on any longer. I feel ashamed for saying I actually enjoyed Saving Silverman a little bit. Still I can't allow myself to give it more than the rating I have because it really is a shitty movie. It's just one of those movies that is so shitty, it's almost good.
Super Reviewer
Zany 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.
Super Reviewer
Pathetic 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.
