Saving Silverman is nothing but a washed up, PG-13 wanna-be version of There’s Something About Mary.  The grotesque jokes and the sexual humor just don’t work.  The sad thing about  today’s society is that anyone can get away with ripping off a movie.  More than likely, Saving Silverman will do well at the box-office, but in a few years no one will remember it.  However, Columbia Pictures isn’t trying to make a decent film, it's just trying to cash in on other gross-out comedies such as There’s Something About Mary and American Pie. 
      The performances by Jason Biggs and Amanda Peet are foul.  Biggs is still in a time loop, trying to replay American Pie fame over and over again.  At least this time around he isn’t some high  school geek as in Pie, or a college geek as in Loser.  No, this time around he’s a 20-something geek who just happens to stumble upon dominatrix Amanda Peet who plays her part boredom.  We can’t blame her.  Apparently both Biggs and Peet were in desperate need of a paycheck when they signed up.  This movie is quite deleterious to their already fragile careers.
      The two sidekicks, Jack Blackand Steven Zahn, should be shot and hung for attempting to act, let alone entertain.  This just shows that some people would do anything to get in to a movie.  For example, Black tries to light a fart and scorches the bodily hair on his lower appendage (and for no reason at all he mentions he has a third testicle) and Zahn attempts to give himself oral pleasure.  Have they no shame?! It’s as if the two are trying to outdo each other in stupid antics.  For the love of Buddha, yank these two from the picture!
      The only person who seems to survive from this wretched movie is Amanda Detmer, who steers clear away from the vulgarity (maybe its because she plays a Nun).  Saving Silverman’s premise is about Biggs, whose life changes after he meets Amanda Peet.  Soon, Biggs is not allowed to hang out with his buddies anymore, and is forced to adapt to Peet’s life.  Realizing how much of a wreck Bigg’s is in, Beavis and Butthead, err, I mean, Black and Zahn kidnap Peet and try t hook him up with Detmer... who is about to become a Nun.  By the end of the movie, all it took was for Detmer to admit she loves Biggs and Neil Diamond to sing a song.  Had they figured this out an hour-and-a-half ago, they would have spared us the pain of seeing the rest.
      It looks like the producers took the screenwriter, placed him in a burlap bag and beat him until he came up with this cinematic piece of crap.  But then again, you get what you pay for.

Poor Silverman needs more than Neil Diamond to be saved from this bomb of a movie! GRADE: D-
