"It's years after high school and classic nerds DARREN SILVERMAN (Jason Biggs), J.D. (Jack Black) and WAYNE (Steve Zahn) haven't exactly set the world on fire. Darren works at an old folks' home, J.D. can't keep his job at Subway and Wayne is a critter wrangler/pest controller. On the side, they are "Diamonds in the Rough", a band that plays nothing but 70's icon Neil Diamond hits."

Babe-less, the three buds live the perfect, wastrel bachelor life until Darren falls for control-freak psychologist JUDITH (Amanda Peet). Knowing that this tough broad is all wrong for their friend, J.D. and Wayne set out to break up the couple. Grossing her out and pleading with her to drop Darren doesn't seem to work. She even tells Darren he must give up his pals or else...

Determined to free their friend from a life as a totally "whipped" husband, the duo decides to kidnap Judith. By some miracle, they finally succeed and even fake her death but Darren keeps mourning. The boys decide to fix their buddy up with his high school crush SANDY (Amanda Detmer) but time is running out. She's about to take her final vows as a nun! The guys get grieving Darren and the cheerleader/nun together but, will it last?

After consulting their overly-macho high school football coach, who is in prison (played by director Dennis Dugan in the film), the guys try to get up the courage to get rid of Judith but she psyches them out and escapes. Just as Darren and Sandy are about to consummate their relationship, Judith appeals to Darren's sense of honor….he promised to marry her first, and the ceremony is set. In a wild, last ditch effort that includes kidnapping Neil Diamond, J.D. and Wayne manage to finally "save" Silverman and find their own special "someones" in the process. I didn't really love "Happy Gilmore" or "Big Daddy" so I didn't hold out much hope for this one but "Saving Silverman" cracked me up. The ensemble cast works really well together. Black and Zahn are especially likeable as the well-meaning Bevis/Butthead/Dumb/Dumber buddies who will do anything to save their friend from life under Amanda Peet's thumb. Peet is really convincing as a control freak/man hater and Jason Biggs is still workin' his sweet but clueless loser act for all it's worth. The film's pace is snappy, most of the jokes work and physical comedy is hilarious (especially a wacky kidnap scene in which J.D. wears hose over his head as a disguise (but they're fishnets! You can see every detail of his face!). Neil Diamond is wonderful in a fun cameo at the film's end that brings the whole story full circle. If you want a giggle, save a Saturday night for "Saving Silverman"..
