Summary: A Classic Piece of Humor
Review: This is a classic movie if you're into Chris Farley or the SNL type of humor from the 1990's. While it is a bit corny at times, it definitely remains a classic even after watching it over and over again. Also recommended if you like this movie: "Office Space" from the creators of "Beavis and Butthead", "Black Sheep", and "Half Baked", with Dave Chappelle.

Summary: Their best work...
Review: Recent Graduate Tommy (Farley) is sent out to save his family's business with his father's right hand man, Richard (Spade). Of course... Richard and Tommy despise each other. In this mission to save the business, they end up getting into a good deal of trouble, and some of it unintended. Tommy finds himself and makes you laugh while he does it.

A wonderful movie -- even if a little "simplistic." The antics of these two and the chemistry that they have when they act together makes it one of those movies you can just watch over and over.

Summary: A comedy that helps define the genre
Review: This is one of the best movies of all time. While falling into the "stupid comedy" that makes you use little of your brain it still is able to get a laugh out of everything you do, it is hilarious and in certain cases "inappropriate" (not to myself, but could be to some people) but never becomes gratuitous as some movies have recently. It also has a wondeful plot about two very different people who don't particularly like each other forced to set out on a quest to save the town the live and and preserve the memory of Thomas Callaghan, Tommy Boy's dad. It has all the plot twists of a soap with all the heart of a drama. 5 stars all the way

Summary: Very funny with some heart
Review: This is the best Chris Farely film. It makes me sad to see his death, seing how funny he is, particularly in this film. I get the impression that Chris Farely was a lot happier in this film than he was in Black Sheep. Although he has a weight issue, he looks a lot sweeter and happier. The jokes feel inspired, fresh, and fun. There are enough running gags to give Airplane a run for it's money! All in all, a good film. Thank you for taking the time to read my review and feel free to leave me a helpful/not helpul feeback. God Bless America!

Summary: Tommy Boy
Review: This movie, Tommy Boy is a very good comedy to watch. The movie is full of laughs. This was the first movie of the Farley and Spade duo.

The story sets out with a lazy, stupid, college bum who is the son of the President of the family's auto parts corporation. Tommy (Farley) comes back from college after graduating and starts working with his father again. His father, is in the middle of taking out a huge loan for the new brake pad division and he ends up dying at his wedding. Now Tommy is left alone to run the company which he has no idea about.

In order to get the loan, he has to sell half a million if their new brake pads. He doesn't know a thing about selling. So his father's right hand man, Richard (Spade) who knows about selling is going out on the road with him. These two don't get along.

A lot of funny things go on while on the road. From lighting things in fire, killing a deer and putting it in the car, and breaking the car door. About the car, everywhere they go, the car gets more and more destroyed.

See what Tommy does next. This movie is excellent. Go get Tommy Boy.

Summary: A lot of fun, a lot of heart
Review: While Chris Farley's work was admittedly up and down over the course of his career, "Tommy Boy" is the perfect example of what we are missing because of his untimely passing. Yes, it is hysterically funny, but it also has a lot of heart; without even trying, it is a great movie about friendship and overcoming tragedy.

Of course, that's not why you should watch it. You should watch "Tommy Boy" because I have seen it at least a dozen times, and yet I still end up with tears rolling down my face at least once during the movie because I'm laughing so hard. Farley was an absolute master of physical comedy, and "Tommy Boy" is loaded with great slapstick. However, it's his give and take with the supremely sarcastic David Spade that provides some of the film's funniest moments.

In addition, Bo Derek, Brian Dennehy and Rob Lowe are all great in their supporting roles. Lowe, was particularly impressive as Tommy's sleazy step-brother; somehow he manages to play it straight the whole movie without ever being dull. Finally, Dan Akroyd is great in his extended cameo.

If you're looking for Oscar worthy performances, or you don't appreciate physical humor, skip this one, you won't like it. However, if you're just looking for a ridiculous romp that make you roll with laughter and leave you feeling good, this is the movie for you.

Enjoy!

Review: Dang this movie was funny!! I think its a comedy movie lovers gotta see movie. It is funny and comes along with a lot of suprises. Just sit back and watch Chris Farley and David Spade take action with a huge task on their hands. They have to sell 250000 brake pads and Tommy (Chris Farley) is a selling dump!! They send Richard (David Spade) with him to help. Richard knows how to sell, but stinks at spicing up his charisma. Then one day the get a break through and come up with an award winning strategy. there is one big proble that you will have to watch to see!! comedy magic.

Summary: Tommy Boy
Review: This was my favorite movie from Farley. TOMMY BOY is hilarious! There's a lot of patented Chris Farley physical comedy and you also get the smart mouth wise crack comedy from David Spade in this movie as well.

Farley is Tommy and after his father dies of a heart attack, he inherits his father's auto parts company. He also finds out that his father's business was going into bankruptcy and now it's up to Tommy and Richard (Spade) to travel across the country and sell as many of brake pads as they can so the company doesn't have to sell.

This movie is truly hilarious and I enjoyed every minute of it. One of my favorite scenes in the entire movie is when Tommy and his girlfriend are on a date on the lake and he's get heckled by some kids. And how could you not laugh at the part with the deer in the back seat?

Great movie, very funny and it never gets old. Check out TOMMY BOY and also check out some of Farley's other movies like BLACK SHEEP and BEVERLY HILLS NINJA. And if you're looking for more SNL stars, check out Adam Sandler in THE WATERBOY and HAPPY GILMORE, Mike Myers and Dana Carvey in WAYNE'S WORLD and WAYNE'S WORLD 2 and Molly Shannon in SUPERSTAR just to name a few.

Summary: One of the Best
Review: This movie happens to be on now so I had to come here to get the DVD. This has got to be one of the funniest movies ever. Chris Farley is the motherfriggin man (Fat guy in a little coat...) and it's sad to think of what he could have become.

Summary: Chris Farley: The Man, The Genius, The Legend
Review: This is one of the funniest films ever created. It is an entertaining masterpiece. I have never laughed so hard in all my life. Chris Farley was a comic genius, a legend in his own right who had the uncanny ability to make anyone laugh. This movie's script is decent at best, but Farley takes it and makes it into a film that is funny from start to funish. I only wish he were still here today making great movies like this one. Rest in peace, Chris. We all miss you.
