Realrockerhalloween A nice sentimental comedy about a rich kid named Tommy who will do anything to keep his father's factory in the family after his father does. Chris Farley and David Spade are a dynamic duo who play off each other extremely well you'd think they were real life brothers. The jokes are in the style of 90s SNL skits where the situations are over the top, simple and have a big pay off leaving your stomach hurting from laughing so hard. Some highlights are when they are going to be pulled over by the police, pretend bees are stinging them and get off scott free or when they pretend to be flight attendants to get a free lift to Chicago.Rob Lowe and Bo Duke are quite the team themselves as gold digging villains willing to do anything to make a quick buck. At first their relationship is a little gross until you found out they aren't really related.The music is a wonderful reminder of the time period and act as a character itself to the scene present. The story flows naturally without ever feeling slow or full and the jokes are refreshing to hear instead of today's where it nearly all vulgar.While black sheep will be my favorite, this feels like a great alternative sequel and delivers the goods. See it today.

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.

Jordan Jacobs It was 1996, I was 8, I put Tommy Boy in the VCR. Little did I know I just made a life changing decision. The character of Tommy Callahan is one of Chris Farley's best efforts. It was written for him, and he did it better than anyone else every could have. The movie itself could have just faded into the monotony of other 90's comedies. Tommy and Richard are childhood frenemies, after a major issue at the plant, they have no choice but to get into Richard's cherry 1967 Plymouth Belvedere GTX and drive across the country on the biggest sales run of their lives. Will they do it? Who knows... but Bo Derek is a babe, and maybe the first MILF any 90's kid every truly crushed on.

FlashCallahan Tommy is a slow-witted, clumsy guy who recently graduated college after attending for seven years.His father, Big Tom Callahan, owns an auto parts factory.When Tommy arrives home, he finds he has a position at the factory waiting for him. His dad also introduces Tommy to his soon-to-be stepmother, Beverly, and her son Paul.But when Big Tom dies, the factory threatens to go under unless new brake pads are sold.Tommy must go on the road to sell them, along with the assistance of Richard, Big Tom's right-hand man.....Here in England, this was the only Farley film that made it to the big screen, partly because at the time this sort of humour was deemed to immature for wide release.Now cinemas are rife with this stuff, thanks to the dumbing down of civilisation. It's throwaway stuff, and while the film lasts, it's okay.It would have been good to see if Farley would have become something, because his films were on a par with Sandlers at the time.Narrative is straight forward, and the whole point of the film is Farley falling over, being silly, and having crazy hair, while David Spade stands there and rolls his eyes.It's all predictable stuff, there is a point in the film, like every film like this, where they think all is lost, and then they redeem themselves.Forgettable, but slightly endearing.
