Summary: Farley at his best
Review: This tape displays classic Chris Farley doing what he does best. If you've seen him and liked him before, this tape is perfect for you. I laughed so hard I almost cried. I wish the tape was longer though.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A great tribute to a great man
Review: This video is fantastic and descripes this hillarious man well, its a bit short but its very good with alot of good extras like Michael Jordan, Mike Myers and others. A shame he died so young, he would have been the greates commiedian ever, bigger than Jim Carrey.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A must-have for any Chris Farley fan!
Review: This video is hilarious! Every scene had something that had me rolling on the floor with laughter. I personally like the "motivational speaker" the best. Chris Farley's expressions and actions had my whole family laughing. Anyone who likes Chris Farley needs this video!!!!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A Comic Legacy.
Review: Though some may disagree, Chris Farley was a comic genius (if you don't believe me just watch TOMMY BOY). The characters he played were often loud, but rarely offensive and usually hilarious (compare that to the last five or six years of SNL; there is a huge difference). In part, his humoring was so appealing because Chris looked just like a normal guy and he loved making people laugh.

This collection of SNL sketches and skits is a fitting tribute to Farley. The DVD includes "Andrew Giuliani"; "Matt Foley, Motivational Speaker"; "Chippendales"; "Superfans-Jordan"; snippets of "The Chris Farley Show"; a physical comedy montage; and "Lunchlady". There are a few omissions from the Chris Farley repertoire. However, most of the best ones are here. My only complaint is that there should have been more of certain characters (why wasn't there more "Tom Foley" sketches?).

A wonderful DVD that any Chris Farley fan will welcome, and that non-fans can at least watch to appreciate the humor of Chris Farley.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: We all miss him...
Review: Though the opening sequence may give some a bad impression, this movie is undoubtably Chris. My favorite characters is Barny, the ChipenDales dancer, Matt Foley, and, of course, Chris as himself on the Chris Farley show.

This movie is for any Chris Farley fan.

WE
MISS
YOU
CHRIS!!![.]

Summary: I Was A Little Disappointed
Review: Well, I was a little disappointed in this dvd. Chris Farley was one of the greatest comedians to emerge in the past 20 years, and I was hoping that "Saturday Night Live" and Broadway Video would put together a concise tribute dvd that would feature about 20 of his greatest skits, plus a bonus feature including tributes from fellow cast members like Adam Sandler and Mike Meyers who worked with him in countless skits over the years (instead we get a short tribute by Tim Meadows). What is included here is a few classic sketches, plus some montages ("Chris In Drag" ! Wow!).

Which is not to say that this is a terrible dvd. "Matt Foley", "Japanese Game Show" (also available on "The Best Of Mike Meyers"), "Superfans". "Lunchlady", "Schmitt's Gay" and "The Herlihy Boy" are all classics in their own right. However, I was sort of disgruntled by the montages that are spread out across the dvd and butcher "SNL" standards like "The Gap Girls" and "Zagat's" to mere snippets. (Both these skits are available on other dvds). Similarly, the "Chris Farley Show" montage cuts out some of the best interviews (though I'm glad they kept in the Paul McCartney one). Still, you can't be upset by the inclusion of "Chippendales".

So, overall it's an okay dvd, but nowhere as great as the ones dedicated to Mike Meyers, Steve Martin, Eddie Murphy, Adam Sandler and the countless others that have been honored with their own collection of classics.

Rating: 5 stars

Summary: Sleeping in a van down by the River!!
Review: You must be sleeping in a van down by the River!! Come back to reality please. Don't make a comment on a video without it being released yet. We all watched the tribute to Chris Farley on our particular NBC channel. Thank you and Goodnight
