Saving Silverman
Director: Dennis Dugan
Actors: Jason Biggs, Steve Zahn, Jack Black
PlotDarren is a mild-mannered, kind-hearted guy who shares a close bond with his lifelong friends, Wayne and J.D. Although the trio lives blissfully sharing their passion for a Neil Diamond cover band, their lives turn upside down when Darren meets Judith, a controlling and manipulative psychologist. Wayne and J.D., fearing they will lose their friend to a woman they deem incompatible and domineering, initially try subtle interventions to end the relationship. Their efforts fail, and during a particularly awkward dinner, Darren announces his engagement to Judith, much to the dismay of his friends, who believe she is stopping him from achieving true happiness and sabotaging their long-term friendship.
Determined to rescue Darren from what they believe is an impending lifetime of misery, Wayne and J.D. hatch a ludicrous plan to abduct Judith and break off the engagement. Simultaneously, they attempt to reunite Darren with his high school crush, Sandy, who is set to join a convent. However, their scheme takes unexpected turns as they grapple with the consequences of their decisions, wavering morals, and increasingly chaotic antics. As mishaps mount and relationships are tested, Wayne and J.D. find themselves questioning whether their actions are truly in Darren’s best interest or if they're just further complicating the situation. Amidst the confusion, they must navigate a series of dilemmas while being constantly challenged by their own feelings of loyalty, love, and friendship.

Home Video Reviews
Saving Silverman on Blu-ray disappoints with a lackluster film, poor video quality, decent audio, and no extras; the DVD offers more value.
