Saving Silverman

The movie 'Saving Silverman' is primarily a raucous comedy, and this is reflected in the dominant emotional responses. Humor is by far the most prominent emotion, driven by the absurd plot of two dim-witted friends attempting a kidnapping to save their buddy from a 'wrong' marriage, coupled with their Neil Diamond fanaticism and the general slapstick nature of the film. This strong comedic element naturally leads to high levels of Joy and Happiness as the audience is entertained by the characters' antics and the unfolding ludicrous situations. The romantic subplot, aiming to reunite Darren with his true love Sandy, contributes significantly to feelings of Love and Hope for a positive outcome. While the 'Crime' aspect of kidnapping introduces some Anxiety and Anticipation regarding the friends' success or potential capture, these are largely played for laughs, leading to eventual Relief when comedic resolutions occur. There's also a degree of Disgust and Anger directed towards the antagonist, Judith, but these are primarily for comedic effect rather than deep negative sentiment.
