Zickenterror - Der Teufel ist eine Frau

I don't know why I expected so very little from this movie (probably that since "American Pie" we've been getting bombarded with really weak rip-offs of the "teen, gross-out" comedy), but I shouldn't have; it's actually a hilarious movie. Jack Black & Steve Zahn are two of the funniest actors working today (and, I guess, Jason Biggs isn't so bad), and they carry this movie. There are so many funny jokes and situations, this movie truly is one of my favorite "stupid" (as opposed to intelligent, I guess) comedies. But please, oh please, if you plan on seeing this, you MUST get the R-rated DVD version, not the PG-13 one that was released in theaters and on most VHS copies. There are so many funny jokes and moments cut out of the PG-13, you'd be doing yourself a disservice. It's still funny, but you miss some good stuff.

"Comingtoyaaaahaaaa..."

"Saving Silverman" is a comedy that should perfectly work for people that enjoy extreme black humor.

Steve Zahn and Jack Black steal the show in my opinion as their performances are diverse through the movie. Jason Biggs is funny in his very own style, and the perfect, gorgeous, sexy Amanda Peet delivers a credible performance as the possessive and extremely jealous girlfriend. I have to say that she's absolutely, positively hot in the whole movie! What a woman.

R. Lee Ermey delivers a whacked funny performance as Coach Carter. The man rocks.

The situations are fun. The highlights in my opinion: -Silverman gets "electro shocks" from a devise whenever he mentions the name of his ex-fiancée. -Nick Diamond singing in the wedding! stuff for legend. -Coach Carter getting out of the moving van to later being crashed by a car. -The ending. Very weird! including a musical.

Anyways, there's nothing much to say about this movie but it will surely entertain audiences that love dark humor comedies. This isn't like "American Pie" by any means, "Saving Silverman" is a clever and fast paced comedy that will make you laugh hysterically.

Granted, Saving Silverman is not good movie. Jason Biggs is only funny as the American Pie guy, and even that act got old by the sequel. But Steven Zahn and Jack Black are two very funny individuals. A Neil Diamond cover band called "Diamonds in the Rough." I could laugh about that for days. And the crazy, gay coach. I don't see how anyone with a sense of humor could walk out of this movie feeling bad.

Jack Black and Steve Zahn..you gotta love them.

This film is just about as stupid as you could possible imagine. The story line is puerile in the extreme. The characterisation is non-existent. The direction lacks any sense of control. And yet....and yet this is the funniest film i have seen since There's Something About Mary.

Jack Black and Steve Zahn are two of the best comedic actors in the business today. It seems to me that, precisely because of Dugan's lack of control, these two guys gave free rein to all of their improvisational instincts and they save the film from being a complete mess. They are sensational. Jack Black's constant mimicing of Neil Diamond's habit of singing "come on now yaaahaaa" when he does Holly Holy is insidious and sticks in your head long after the film has finished.

Amanda Peet and Amanda Detmer are sex on legs here. Their parts are badly written but who cares when they look this good! Even Neil Diamond shows he is a trouper by showing up for a cameo in a film that, essentially, pokes gentle fun at how uncool his stage persona is perceived to be.

This is just great ...9/10

I remember that I saw this movie many years ago, but couldn't really recall whether it was a funny movie or not. I happened to find it again on Netflix, so I decided to sit down and watch it again.

It turned out that the movie was actually funny, and I did recall the basics of the storyline. Darren (played by Jason Biggs) is about to marry Judith (played by Amanda Peet), a thing that Darren's two best friends, Wayne (played by Steve Zahn) and J.D. (played by Jack Black) does not want to see happen.

The cast in the movie was good, and I especially enjoyed the roles played by Jack Black, Steve Zahn and Amanda Peet, because they really carried the movie so well.

There are some good laughs here and there throughout the course of the movie.

"Saving Silverman" can be watched more than once; you just have to wait a significant amount of years before doing so.
