En film som inte borde vara så rolig och charmig som den faktiskt är, men allting bara stämmer.
- Does this suit make me look fat?
- No, your face does. -
During the mid-1990's Saturday Night Live had one of its best casts ever and standing on top of the incredibility talented cast that featured future comedy superstars like Adam Sandler, Mike Myers, Chris Rock, David Spade and more was Chris Farley. Arguably the most popular cast member that the series had ever produced. By 1995 though it was time for Farley to try his hand at his first staring role in Hollywood bring his buddy David Spade with him for Tommy Boy.
Tommy Boy follows Tommy and reluctant sidekick Richard, Farley and Spade receptively, hit the road trying to sell auto parts to different companies to save his recently deceased fathers company and just as importantly to save the jobs…

This movie still holds up after overwatching it in my youth then going years without seeing it. It's not often that you can say physical comedy still is funny now.

I've seen Tommy Boy innumerable times, but it has been more than a decade since I last sat down to watch it. The film is at times remarkably successful and at times remarkably slow moving, sketch oriented, or overtly reliant on exceptionally juvenile humor. However, despite these seeming marks against it, the skill and charisma of Carvey and Farley pulling off their modern day take on Laurel and Hardy is what carries and rescues this film from the uneven writing.

I don't revere this film the way other people my age seem to, but I do enjoy it, entirely due to Farley. It's a pretty dumb movie, really, but Farley is great.

This is my husband's favorite movie so we watched it on NetFlix one night. I have seen it before. I have always thought there were certain parts that are really funny and then parts that just irritate me. Chris Farley is one of the funniest comedians to ever live and he is way funnier than David Spade in this movie. I like the movie but there are some parts that make me so irritated that I just can't really handle it. It's a typical comedy though and you end the movie with a smile.
