Mulher Infernal

Reading the other review, I just had to post the opposing viewpoint. I am a 58-yr-old well-educated woman, so go figure...I just HOWLED at this movie, I had tears running down my face. Haven't laughed this much and so unexpectedly since Rodney Dangerfield's antics in 'Back to School'. The sight gags were dead on, the whole premise of the loser worshippers of N. Diamond was hysterical and milked to perfection, and the send-up of misogyny was perfectly done. Actually, these three hapless fools were just perfectly pathetic and loveable in their own ways. The acting was wonderful....Amanda Peet was wickedly funny, and all three male stars were equally crass and deliciously low-down. Jack Black as usual was unnervingly disgusting and real. Neal Diamond was a wonderful parody of himself, without being condescending...he fit the spirit of the movie to a 'T'. The ending was great, reminiscent of the 'feel good' ending of 'Back to School'. Whenever I feel blue, I watch this movie and just can't help laughing. Maybe it just wasn't British humor (referring to the previous review), but this is FUNNY stuff.

Bitch: a malicious, spiteful, or coarse woman. Sound familiar? Whatever the explanation or situation, it is an art form many women have mastered, executed and blamed you for at some point during your life. So why not make a film about it?

Wayne (Zahn), JD (Black) and Darren (Biggs) have been best friends since the fifth grade, but when Darren starts dating the beautiful Judith (Amanda Peet) their friendship begins to crumble - as well as their Neil Diamond tribute band - as Darren becomes pussy-whipped by the evil bitch from hell!

Believing Judith to be a greater enemy than Darth Vader, Wayne and JD kidnap the bitch and fake her death, hoping that Darren - who by now is a sorry exuse for a man - will move on and rekindle his interest in Sandy (Amanda Detmer), Darren's lost love from high school who has returned to town to take her vows as a nun!

Saving Silverman is an enjoyable funny movie, brought to us by the director of Big Daddy and Happy Gilmore.

My rating: 7/10

"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.

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.

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.
