Saving Silverman Reviews

I wasn’t expecting much from this flick and, honestly, I thought it would be rather lame but, surprisingly, I thought it was actually not bad at all after all. Back in those days, following the success of ‘American Pie’, they were still trying to sell us Jason Biggs as a lead actor which obviously didn’t work after all but, eventually, this movie was maybe the only one starring this rather underwhelming actor which turn out to be actually watchable. Of course, the plot was nothing really remarkable but, still, I thought it was actually quite entertaining and there were definitely some really funny bits here and there. Above all, I thought that Jack Black was just hilarious thoughout the whole thing. Indeed, as usual, he basically stole the show everytime he was on the screen and I actually miss the days when the guy was not so famous and when he was playing those wacky supporting characters. Even Steve Zahn who I found rather rather annoying did a pretty good work here and, with Jack Black, they made for a nice duo. To conclude, even though it was nothing amazing whatsoever, I though it was a decent comedy and I think it is worth a look, especially if you like the genre.

Jason Biggs had a magical run of movies that began with American Pie and leveled off somewhere around Jersey Girl. In between this stretch, we got to know an actor with absolutely no talent but came to love the supporting cast that gave each of his movies some success. Saving Silverman is a prime example of what I call the Biggs Exception, where everyone else is great EXCEPT Jason Biggs. Jack Black and Steve Zahn are hilarious and make this movie definitely worth a watch.
