ThiefHott Too much of everything

Wordiezett So much average

WillSushyMedia This movie was so-so. It had it's moments, but wasn't the greatest.

Geraldine The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

harispap-75765 An over the top classic "road trip" style comedy starring comedian legend, Chris Farley.Peter Segal's movie is full of cliché and almost everything that's happening seems over the top.The main problem with the movie is its screenplay,it is very poorly written and it makes you feel dumb.At least the acting is great,Farley and Spade connected and rocked as a comedy duo.The movie made me laugh but it is nothing more than a passable movie.

Finfrosk86 I had never watched a movie with Chris Farley before. That I can remember, at least. This was the first. Makes me sad that he died so incredibly young, from something that could very easily have been avoided.I thought Tommy Boy started out a little weak, it took some time before I got into the mood of the movie. But as it went on, I liked it better and better. It has some genuine emotional moments, and a little more "depth" than I would assume. Now, this is no drama, but it has more heart than I thought it would. And when it is emotional, it's not overdone.Not especially funny, but I did chuckle in a couple scenes. (Let me add that I don't laugh that much from comedies, although I get the humor)Oh, and could the music BE more 90's family comedy?! Very typical, but gets the job done, and makes for a nice light atmosphere.

SnoopyStyle Tommy Callahan III (Chris Farley) is a dumb good-natured klutz who finally graduates college after seven years. His father Big Tom Callahan (Brian Dennehy) owns a family auto parts empire in Sandusky, Ohio but it's not going well. Nevertheless, Big Tom is taking out new loans to start up a new brake pad factory and marrying Beverly (Bo Derek). Beverly's son Paul (Rob Lowe) is a jerk. Big Tom puts resentful Richard Hayden (David Spade) in charge of looking after Tommy. Tommy reconnects with former schoolmate and shipping manager Michelle Brock (Julie Warner). When Big Tom dies, the bank reneges on the promise loan until Tommy puts everything he owns on the line. Tommy goes on the road to sell brake pads with a reluctant Richard Hayden.Chris Farley is naturally adorable and a great physical comic. He exudes charm. David Spade is his perfect partner with his sarcastic superior manner. The movie excels when the duo is on the screen together. It doesn't work quite as well without both guys together. They are simply a hilarious team.

brchthethird A fun (but only occasionally funny), dumb comedy. The plot is rather simple and unspectacular and the acting is serviceable. Chris Farley is really the only reason to see this movie, due to various comedic episodes peppered throughout the run time. He's able to elevate the material somewhat on his charm and charisma, even bringing a little heart/pathos to the role. You can't really say that for the rest of the movie, though, because it's filled with clichés, plot holes, lapses in logic and implausibilities. Still, the strong central performance by Farley, who proves himself quite adept at physical comedy, is reason enough to see it at least once.
