Comedy; starring Jason Biggs, Jack Black, Steve Zahn, Amanda
Peet, and Amanda Detmer; directed by Dennis Dugan
Release Date: February 16 (Columbia)
Mild-mannered Darren Silverman (Biggs) is way under the sway of
his demanding new girlfriend (Peet), so his best buddies (Black
and Zahn) leap into action. They hatch a plan to reunite Silverman
with an old flame (Detmer)—and then kidnap the current one. With
such a high concept, such a lowball director (Dugan, of Happy
Gilmore and Big Daddy fame), and such a castful of scene-stealers
(including, incidentally, Neil “The Jazz Singer” Diamond in a cameo),
Silverman may just be too bloated to save itself.
