Case in point: 2001’s Saving Silverman. While this buddy comedy may not be among the best films from Black’s career, it has still developed a reputation for being underrated and under seen by fans. Fortunately, the film was just added to Pluto’s lineup this month, making it completely free to check out.
Black stars in Saving Silverman as one of a trio of longtime pals and John Denver enthusiasts, the other two being played by Jason Biggs and Steve Zahn. When Biggs’ character, the titular Silverman, finally finds himself in a committed relationship, they stop at nothing to get him out of it.
No, the premise of Saving Silverman hasn’t aged well, but the all-star trio of leads have outstanding chemistry together and are able to provide quite a few laughs.
Big fans of Black’s will be happy to know that Saving Silverman also features a cameo from Kyle Gass, the other half of musical duo Tenacious D. It’s not a big part by any means, but seeing Black and Gass in a film together is still something to be excited about.
