Evil Woman
Darren Silverman (Jason Biggs) and his pals Wayne (Steve Zahn) and J.D. (Jack Black) are close friends since high school who perform together in a Neil Diamond cover band. Enter Darren's shrewd psychologist bride-to-be Judith (Amanda Peet), who constantly schemes to keep Darren from hanging out with his old slacker buddies. Anxious to hold onto their right to spend time with Darren, Wayne and J.D. decide that they must stop at nothing to prevent the wedding from taking place and reunite Darren with his first love--who is about to become a nun! Dennis Dugan's (HAPPY GILMORE) comedy attempts to harness the white-hot comedic talents of Zahn and Black, throwing in an inspirational appearance from Neil Diamond himself, to tell a hilarious tale of undying friendship."

Released under the title Saving Silverman in the US, this crass comedy gets a new name over here — not to protect the innocent, but evidently to disguise the guilty. The splendidly surreal premise goes like this: Neil Diamond (yes, that Neil Diamond!) is enlisted by flatmates Jack Black and Steve Zahn to save buddy Jason Biggs from the matrimonial clutches of bunny-boiling girlfriend Amanda Peet. But it's all promise and precious little delivery. Evil Woman is mean-spirited, unfunny, underdeveloped, and overplayed by actors who not only could and should know better, but are also by and large ten years too old for their characters (or rather more in the case of the creaky Mr Diamond). If you're easy to please, this could constitute a passable night's video entertainment. As a cinema release, it's all Neil but no diamond.

I love this movie, great casting with Jason Biggs, Jack Black, Steve Zahn and a very hot Amanda Peet.
Three lifetime buddies become separated when one of them plans to marry a woman from hell, the other two become concerned and decide to kidnap and fake the bride-to-be's death so that their friend finds love elsewhere.
Funny film and well worth seeing, highly recommended. -

For all the talent involved here this is quite disappointing, but still smarter than your average comedy.
