12So bad in so many different ways that perhaps you should see it, as an example of the lowest slopes of the bell-shaped curve.
-
40Witless comedy.
-
38Relentlessly dopey and vulgar.
-
10Peet is always worth watching, but the role does her no favors, and the script, involving a kidnapping and a surprise cameo by Neil Diamond - you heard me - smacks of desperation beyond saving.
-
0In one rotten production -- all involved have managed to create the most unlikable, man hating, woman hating, unfunny idiots since ''Whipped'' ended up on worst movie lists last year.
-
50It's basically a cheerful slob job, one of those slapped-together features so often embraced by teenagers with more disposable income than discernible taste.
-
20Let's accentuate the positive: Saving Silverman really stinks. No, really. It's bad. Awful.
-
0Reaches toward new heights of comic laziness and succeeds beyond anyone's wildest expectations.
-
63Yes, it's stupid. But sometimes it's stupid with a capital S, and it's in those moments of transcendent idiocy that you can't help liking Saving Silverman. At least, a little bit.
-
50A standard-issue numskull comedy that aims low but is high in energy.
-
12Just when the story reaches its idiotic nadir, Neil (Diamond) shows up to save the day with a song and a smile.
-
70I was laughing myself sick over Saving Silverman, a sublimely idiotic farce in the "There's Something About Mary" tradition.
-
25Screenwriters look to many sources for inspiration. In the case of Saving Silverman, they looked behind them, and liked what they saw.
-
0One thing the makers of Saving Silverman do not have to worry about: Hannibal Lecter will never visit them to eat their brains. That is because they have no brains.
-
42The film is a shapeless mess and about as convincing as a cartoon, the usual mix of slapstick, doofus humor and raunchy sex jokes lacking even the bite or attitude to make it adventurous.
-
20Does occasionally rise out of the sewer of its self-imposed idiocy, ascending in brief moments from utter witlessness to half-witlessness, mostly thanks to the loose comic byplay between Mr. Black and Mr. Zahn.
-
25The kind of comedy that takes the fun out of stupidity.
-
60It's doubtful that the haste with which two actors of the same sex break away from a kiss in this comedy was in the script, but otherwise everybody stays in character, which is impressive given the manic range of some of the roles and the comic monotony of others.
-
20Misbegotten, unimaginative buddy pic.
-
35Black, who is creatively marooned in the thankless Chris Farley fat-boy role, deserve better, and so do we.
-
20Every movie Dugan releases looks like something made on accident--tosses yet another stink bomb into theaters for audiences to sniff over.
-
25A grating experience from start to finish.
-
25Not just stupid, but brain dead.
-
25The movie drags down everyone involved, regardless of their apparent talent.
-
60This is harmless stuff, and sometimes it's actually pretty funny, too.
-
20Chaotic, peurile, loaded with sniggering commentary and obsessed with breasts, Saving Silverman is like a 90-minute walk through a 13-year-old boy's head.
-
25The timing is off, the gags lame, the twists predictable, the crudity rampant and unamusing.
-
0The movie can barely muster the bravery to be even "Dude, Where's My Car" stoopid.
-
40A sharp-dumb, jack- and goof-off affair.

JustinS.10Critics don't know good movies if it showed up at their front door. This movie rocks and is hilarious.
