Negative—I was really disappointed! In fact, I was later embarrassed to admit that was the movie I had gone to see. There was A LOT of cussing and sexual innuendo. I would not recommend this movie to anyone. If you haven’t already warped your mind by watching it, please, don’t bother! You haven’t missed a thing!

Movie Critics
All sorts of sexually related material is present, including various instances of related dialogue, implied off-screen oral sex, references to masturbation, some onscreen fooling around, and the revelation of several characters being gay…
ScreenIt
…falls flat in almost every way a film can. This is a comedy that fails to provoke laughs…
Hollywood Reporter, Kirk Honeycutt
…most of the comedy in Saving Silverman has something to do with sex…
Movie-reviews, James Berardinelli
…surely rated on the extreme outer edge of the PG-13 tag…
