No 'Saving' Grace: He said

Dumb, dumb, dumb, dumb, dumb, dumb, dumb. \nThat is the best way to describe "Saving Silverman." There are many other adjectives that could easily explain this film, but dumb is the first one that comes to mind. \n"Saving Silverman" is about three friends and their disturbing relationship. Darren (Jason Biggs), Wayne (Steve Zahn) and J.D. (Jack Black) have been friends since grade school. They were inseparable, that is, until Judith (Amanda Peet) came along. Darren and Judith start dating, and she starts to rule his life. This is a horrible case of a boyfriend being "whipped." Judith makes Darren quit his band, get butt-cheek implants, and the worst of all -- makes him get rid of his friends. So what do his two best buddies do? The only logical thing -- they kidnap her, make Darren believe that she is dead and try hooking him up with his high school love who in seven days will become a nun.\nThe concept is decent because many men do have friends that their significant others do not like, but bad acting, stupid jokes and illogical action ruin this concept. Words cannot describe how bad this movie really is. \nThe movie is a comedy, but people will not laugh. The filmmakers try to get cheap jokes with people falling out of windows and getting hit in the crotch, but they just don't get any laughs. Not only do a number of characters get hit in the groin area, but there is a kneeing of a crotch, an object falling on a crotch and a taser-zapping of a crotch. \nAttempts for big laughs occur with the random flashbacks that happen throughout the movie. The flashbacks include the boys getting beat up by girls in the third grade and when their high school football coach accidentally kills a referee with a first-down marker. Some of the flashbacks are decent solely because they are so random.\nBut the worst part of the movie is that it really had potential. It had a good concept, and it had some really funny actors such as Biggs and Zahn. The biggest disappointment was Black, who is usually hilarious such as roles in "High Fidelity" and his made-for-HBO band "Tenacious D." Black definitely had some of the best lines, and he could have made the movie moderately good. \nIf you have to go see this movie because something else is sold out, don't. Even if it's just to see Peet's cleavage, which appears often, don't. Or even if you're related to one of the actors, don't go see this movie. Whatever the reason, ignore it and please don't go see this movie.
