Editing Guidelines Please remember these guidelines when editing a film article: If a non-film article already exists with the name of the film that you are trying to create an article for, disambiguate and use (film) in the title: Film Title (film) For more information see: Wikipedia:Naming conventions (films) When writing an article about a particular film, the general format should be a concise lead section, followed by a plot summary of no more than 900 words, production details, a cast list, a reception section, and references. Create an Infobox that tells all pertinent information about the film. Article upgrading needed: You can help! WP:IA   Stub to Start-Class Upgrading Instructions for Films Note that instructions for articles on other types of film topics within the scope of WikiProject Films are currently under development. To contribute in upgrading this stub article to Start class, the following requirements must be met: Significant intro (list the title, alternate titles, year released, director, actors starring in the film, summary of headings, etc.) Film infobox ({{infobox film}}) Picture: Consult WikiProject Free Images for freely released images from a film shoot, opening, or other relevant free image. Non-free and unlicensed images are to be avoided if at all possible, but if used should include a detailed fair use rationale. (An image is not required for start class if unavailable.) Plot summary Include cast and crew information. At least two other developed sections of information (production, reception (including box office figures), awards and honors, themes, differences from novel or TV show, soundtrack, sequels, DVD release, etc.) Categories (by year, country, language, and genre(s))  Helpful links: WP:BETTER, WP:LEAD, WP:REF, WP:WAF Once this article has fulfilled these requirements, the film can be reassessed to Start class and this template will be removed automatically.

Saving Silverman is highly underrated and shows both the comedic prowess of Jack Black and Steve Zahn. It was poorly reviewed because - yes - it really, as a film, has no plot. But in the truest sense of the genre, and for the nature of silliness, do you really want a good comedy to have a plot? I think not. Give it another try. Even though Jason Biggs' best years are behind him (if there were any 'best' years to be had), it's worth a watch and I guarantee you will laugh several times VERY hard.

this is only known as saving silverman within the US. in the dozens of other nations it was released in, its called 'evil woman'. shouldn't that be the title of the wikipedia article then? --CLICK SIGN YOUR NAME

• Reasonable question, but country of first release or country of production typically determines Wikipedia movie title, and IMDB title, too. --Lexein 14:56, 15 February 2007 (UTC)

• What I don't know is the policy on other-language Wikipedia pages: it seems that the title on the French(say) WP page should be the title of the release in that country. --Lexein 14:56, 15 February 2007 (UTC)
