SAVING SILVERMAN
Released: February 9, 2001
Not so much a comedy as a lesson to modern directors that despite it being 2001 it is rather easy to make a movie that looks, sounds and feels like "Porky's". Jason Biggs, who tries - really, can't rise above the generic storyline. Neither can co-stars Amanda Peet, Jack Black and Amanda Detmer. Moments of almost genuine acting are marred by clearly "Porky's" style humor that just doesn't go over well these days. Makes "American Pie" look like like a Best Picture Oscar winner.
