Okay for those of you Neil Diamond lovers this is one that you absolutely have to see.
It stars Jack Black, Jason Biggs, and Steve Zahn as a group of friends who end up getting broken up because one of them gets a controlling girlfriend. The other two decide to kidnap her so they can get their friend back and try to get him with an old high school friend. Hilarious film. It also stars Amanda Peet and R. Lee Emery.
If you haven't seen this I definately recommend it and yes there is a cameo appearance by Neil Diamond.

Must be one of Earth Angel's Favorite movies. Of course, she said her last Neil Diamond experience was not the best, so maybe not.
My friend's sister is married to Steve Zahn, so I'm always keeping up with his career. Do you remember J. Peterman from Seinfield? Well they are from Lexington and Steve Zahn is married to his daughter Robyn who's brother went to college with me. Who's aunt's brother's cousin...ha..I did meet him at a wedding once, if that counts.
My favorite Steve Zahn movie is "Out of Sight" and then maybe "Joy Ride", he was good in "That Thing You Do" though he had a smaller role.
When Zahn & Jack Black try to kidnap Amanda Peet in Saving Silverman...I was rolling.

Wow I didn't know that you had met him before. I think that is so cool, I always get jealous when I hear of people who know people, I never get to see anyone in KS.

This movie had me on my *** laughing the first 5 minutes. My fave scene was when Jack Black's recliner wouldnt cooperate...

I loved the title of their band..."Diamonds In The Rough." I liked when she wanted the Big Montanna from Arbys and curyl fries. Also the part where they had Niel Diamond's autograph they got on e-bay and she says it looks like a photo copy. Cool movie. I also liked Jack Black in School Of Rock. I can't wait to see his performance this December in King Kong.

Had to revive this topic because I watched it again recently.
