Saving Silverman
A pair of buddies conspire to save their best friend from marrying the wrong woman, a cold-hearted beauty who snatches him from them and breaks up their Neil Diamond cover band.
Critics Sentiment
All three couples wed onstage at Neil Diamond's concert
Judith isolates Darren and demands he quit the band
The film jumps from its lowest point during Judith's controlling behavior to genuine hilarity when Wayne and J.D. kidnap her, gaining nearly 2 points.
Saving Silverman follows a rocky comedic trajectory that starts moderately, dips during predictable relationship control humor, then builds momentum through increasingly absurd situations. Critics consistently praised Jack Black and Steve Zahn's chemistry along with Amanda Peet's committed performance, while finding the premise hit-or-miss. The film peaks with its feel-good musical finale featuring Neil Diamond, which most reviewers found genuinely charming despite the movie's overall uneven quality.
