    • Quotes

      Wayne: Okay, our enemy is wicked, so...

      J.D.: Dude, she's Freddy Krueger.

      Wayne: Damien.

      J.D.: Dude, she's Vader.

      Wayne: No! She is the Emperor!

      J.D.: Yeah, but with really great tits!

      Wayne: Okay, now Sandy, that girl? She's a nice girl.

      J.D.: Ah, yeah.

      Wayne: She's a sweetheart.

      J.D.: Dude, a saint.

      Wayne: A goddess.

      J.D.: A princess.

      Wayne: 'Know what? She's kinda like Mother Teresa.

      J.D.: Yeah, but with way better tits.

    • Crazy credits
      At the end there is a concert with Neil Diamond and all the actors and the end titles.
    • Alternate versions
      The R-rated cut includes about four minutes of added footage, consisting mainly of two scenes: one in a Subway restaurant where JD is showing his trainees to his boss, and another in a laundromat where Darren and Sandy are drying their clothes after falling in the water. Also, three uses of the word "fuck" are added, among other dialogue. Also, the scene with the hookers playing ping-pong has them topless, rather than wearing the bras they had in the PG-13-rated theatrical cut.

    The bitch is back!
    Bitch: a malicious, spiteful, or coarse woman. Sound familiar? Whatever the explanation or situation, it is an art form many women have mastered, executed and blamed you for at some point during your life. So why not make a film about it?

    Wayne (Zahn), JD (Black) and Darren (Biggs) have been best friends since the fifth grade, but when Darren starts dating the beautiful Judith (Amanda Peet) their friendship begins to crumble - as well as their Neil Diamond tribute band - as Darren becomes pussy-whipped by the evil bitch from hell!

    Believing Judith to be a greater enemy than Darth Vader, Wayne and JD kidnap the bitch and fake her death, hoping that Darren - who by now is a sorry exuse for a man - will move on and rekindle his interest in Sandy (Amanda Detmer), Darren's lost love from high school who has returned to town to take her vows as a nun!

    Saving Silverman is an enjoyable funny movie, brought to us by the director of Big Daddy and Happy Gilmore.
