Summary: High Five, here's another one!
Review: Amongst the classics of 90's comedy arrive Wayne's World, P.C.U., Billy Madison, Happy Gilmore...and of course, Tommy Boy. Where would the world of comedy be, without this movie? Well, it'd be a notch down as far as range goes, but other than that, it'd just be missing a great film. Coming home, fresh, actually well done, from college, Tommy Callahan arrives to his hometown to find everything...the same. His father owns the big ol' auto business and everyone's great, until his father dies. With the town leaping on Tommy's back for safety of their jobs, he must take it to the streets and save the business and become the salesman he was meant to be. This would be a great drama film, but it's a Farley comedy, so expect one wild ride. The film takes a dive into some of the greatest and most memorable scenarios. From Tommy slamming into doors, burning models, and ruinings cars to the memorable lines and bickering between he and fellow co-star, David Spade. The film also has a fine supporting cast, from Dan Ackroyd, Brian Dennehy, and even Rob Lowe as the antagonist. I could sit here and point out my favorite scenes, but what good does that do. Anyone knows any impersonation or recreation cannot even equal the amount of good fortune one will have when watching the film, for the first time. All I can say is, this is a fine film. This is comedy when it was still important to introduce bold characters, great storyline, and even some drama to tie in emotional aspects. If it were up to me, this film would be sitting on AFI's shelves. But, it's not...so take my word. You can get a good look at a bull's--- No wait... It's your buy.

Summary: One of the most funny movies I've ever seen
Review: The plot of this movie is a rich couple(Bo Derek/Rob Lowe)
set out get rich by having Big Tom(Brian Dennehey) marry
Beverly(Bo Derek) and have her divorice him and take half
of everything he owns. Then Big Tom dies at the wedding
putting his company in a huge bind. With a unproven break
pad division, they are unable to get a loan to prevent
having to see the company to another company. So Tommy
Boy(Chris Farley) decides to give up his half of the
stock in order to get the loan.
A catch is that Tommy Boy and Richard(David Spade) must
go out on the road and sell thousands of break pads to
keep the company going. That is where the fun starts.
Tommy Boy being the son of a rich father always got
what he wanted and never really made an effort to get
smart so Richard picks on Tommy Boy 3/4 of the movie
because of his ignorance for the business and the fact
that Tommy doesn't take live very seriousally.
We are treated to several sarcastic jokes and scenes
with Tommy making a total fool of himself. Like I said,
this is a movie that you really start to care less and
less about the plot as the comedy just takes over. Chris
Farley and David Spade just have such chemistry in this
movie. They tried to capture it again with alittle less
success in Black Sheep, which really is the same as this
movie with a slighty different plot. It just didn't have
the charm that Tommy Boy had.

Summary: The Best Chris Farley And David Spade Movie Ever
Review: This is a classic movie. Forget those lame Ben Stiller and Jim Carrey movies. Buy the ones with Sandler, Spade or Farley. In this movie, Tommy Callahan III(Farley) avenges his father's death by trying to sell brake pads with his buddy, Richard (Spade). Watch what happens to Richard's car and Tommy's methods of selling. Here are my favorite quotes:
Tommy Callahan II: "You can get a good look at a T-Bone steak by sticking your head up a bull's ass, but wouldn't you rather take a butcher's word for it?"
Richard: "Did I hear a niner?"
Salesman: "Why do they put a guarantee on the box then?"
Tommy: "Just to show that all they sold you was a guaranteed piece of s**t."
Tommy: "There are a lot of people who go to college for seven years."
Richard: "Yeah, they're called doctors."
I can't think of anymore right now.

Summary: Good Light-Hearted Fun
Review: I will be the first to admit that I wasn't the biggest fan of Chris Farley's when he was a regular on "Saturday Night Live". David Spade is another story, I thought he was hysterical. That said, this is the ideal vehicle for Farley. "Tommy Boy" captures the dumb sweetness of Farley's comic persona. Pairing him with the caustically sarcastic Spade was comic dynamite. End result is a road trip to comic heaven. The film is aided with a good cast that includes the always terrific Brian Dennehy as Tommy's father, Bo Derek, one of my teen idols, as Tommy's stepmom, and a nearly unrecognizable Rob Lowe as Derek's sleazy accomplice. This film made me laugh on two fronts. I went to school with a Tommy Callahan(and he was fat) and Lowe in this film was a dead ringer for a friend of mine, let's just call him Bill. I don't know if I would give this film the classic status but I have yet to meet anyone who has seen it who has not succumbed to it's charms.

Though i couldn't get any info of it on the net. I'm hoping amazon.com would have it available soon.

Summary: Did I hear a niner in there?
Review: Truly an all time comic classic. Chris Farley and David Spade are at their and sweaty and sarcastic best respectively and the combination is downright perfection.
David Spade and Chris Farley are perhaps one of the best comedy duos of all time. The film is basically about a young man named Tommy Shalahan(Chris Farley) that comes home from college to work at his father's auto parts company. Upon his arrival, Tommy learns that his father has just gotten married. However, his father dies at the wedding reception, so Tommy is forced to sell some of the company's products or risk going under. Along with Richard (David Spade), the two of them set out on an adventure of a lifetime full of comedy and entertainment for the entire family to enjoy. I do admit the supporting characters are stereotyped and the film falls under a lot of cliches, but it's still funny. Overall, I highly recommend this one.
This film, already a classic in its own right, will one day be held in the same vein as classics Caddyshack and Animal House.
