Summary: "YOUR BRAIN HAS THE SHELL ON IT"
Comment: Never before has there been a comedy with this much heart and soul.Chris Farley plays the son of an expert auto parts salesman,whos passing leaves the family business in jeopardy of being sold.Farley suits up with his number crunching friend (David Spade) and together they set out across the country to sell enough brakepads to save the day,what follows is pure comedic genius.From a college triumph to an unforgettable plane ride,and from highway hijinks to one hilarious sales pitch after another,this film is undoubtedly Farley's greatest work and a comedy masterpiece.Having been practically raised on this movie,I can honestly say that it has brought years of laughter for me and my family and that I highly recommend this film.Though the big guy is not with us anymore,he still lives on in this brilliant film which I hope will bring just as much joy to your home as it has in mine.

Summary: The absolute funniest movie I have ever seen!
Comment: This film is Chris Farley at the absolute top of his game. There are so many classic scenes in this film that it's too long to list. Notably hilarious are the "burning model car" and the "guarantee fairy" scenes. One can't help but laugh out loud at these scenes every time (I start laughing even before they start now!)
The team of Farley and Spade never worked better than in this film. Richard's (Spade) biting sarcasm plays perfectly to Tommy's (Farley) "buffoon with a heart of gold" (a character practically patented by Farley). Also wonderful are Brian Dennehy as Tommy's dad, Rob Lowe (in an inexplicably uncredited performance) as Tommy's scheming stepbrother, and the always professional Dan Ackroyd as auto parts czar Ray Zalinsky.
If you haven't seen this film, you're missing out. It's a must see!

Summary: BEES! BEES IN THE CAR!!!!
Comment: Don't know what the title means? See this movie and you'll know all too well what I'm talking about. Unfortunately for myself I have not been well acquainted with the comedic extraordinaire who was Chris Farley (may you rest in peace big guy) outside of "best of" episodes for SNL. Equally fortunate for me though, I have a friend who, upon hearing that I've never seen Tommy Boy, decided not to rest until I have enjoyed this gem of a film. I was a little skeptical, after all this is the guy who on three occasions has nearly ended my short, yet fun, life. No need to be skeptical my friends, Tommy Boy is one hell of a comedy which stands toe to toe with any of the great comedies of the past or present.
Tommy Callahan is the son of a wealthy and respected auto sells man who has, unfortunately, punched his last ticket, as they say. With his families auto parts factory needing money in the worst way, Tommy (Farley) and Richard (David Spade), his childhood friend, set out on a road trip on which they will destroy Spades car (come on, must we always destroy the nice expensive car of the guy who obsesses over it?), kill a deer, see said dead deer come back to life and destroy the car some more, and beat each other senseless.
Like another great movie I recently saw, Juno, Tommy Boy is full of hilarious quotes and one liners (such as the one which I chose to be my title). The acting from all cast members is great, especially from Spade and Farley who truly make this movie great. Kudos to all involved in the making of this film. Although it wasn't the perfect comedy, it was sure as hell close. 4.5/5.
Replay value; EXTREMELY high.

Summary: Good
Comment: This movie is downright hilarious. I still get sad watching this movie since Christ Farley's passing. David Spade is also one of my all time favorite comedians.

Summary: Awesome
Comment: Chris Farley and David Spade at their best! Tommy boy keeps me laughing even the 25th time I've seen it. Debatedly even better than Black Sheep.
