I like the storyline of this show,it attract me so much
A brilliant film that helped define a genre
This story has more twists and turns than a second-rate soap opera.
The tone of this movie is interesting -- the stakes are both dramatic and high, but it's balanced with a lot of fun, tongue and cheek dialogue.
This is not a funny movie. It is very overrated. I think people will like a comedy movie because it is a comedy movie. It really does not have to be funny. Most people just think everything is hilarious. This movie like most comedies does not have a good story line. It fact it has an awful story line. Not the most people who are big on comedy movies would care.
Tommy Boy (1995): Dir: Peter Segal / Cast: Chris Farley, David Spade, Bo Derek, Brian Dennehy, Rob Lowe: Pathetic juvenile comedy starring Chris Farley as Tommy boy and he has just arrived home from college celebrating an array of straight D minuses. That pretty much sums up the effort that went into this film. Brian Dennehy plays his proud father who hires him on as part of his business, which specializes in brake shields. He introduces Tommy to his fiancé and son, which thrills him to the point of inviting his new brother out cow tipping. On the wedding day his father has a heart attack and business is in trouble until Farley and right hand man David Spade on a road trip to save it. They are unaware that the new fiancé is really out to sell the company. Dreary plot reduced to road movie formula. Director Peter Segal shows potential here but with The Naked Gun 33 1/3: The Final Insult he had a better script and broader laughs. Farley and Spade go through one embarrassing situation after another unable to avoid mugging or overplaying. Bo Derek and Rob Lowe should have known better. It might have helped if Derek's seductress met with consequences. Certainly Lowe is met with greater consequence than just a bad career move. Purposed to capitalize on Farley's success on Saturday Night Live but it should be tossed into a busy interstate. Score: 2 / 10
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.
Dumb comedies and gross-outs don't do anything for me , usually doing the opposite and make me want to flick my eyeballs out with a sharp pencil.This mad, fast paced craze-fest is so infectiously delirious that it'd be inhuman not to warm to it and ultimately, rather like it. Or love it, though I'm not sure I want to go that far....Chris Farley is a comic actor unknown to me, apart from his parts in Waynes World, which I saw so long ago, I cannot remember him. I understand that he was one of a kind and much loved. Comparisons with the Farrelly brothers cannot be dismissed, but Tommy Boy just seems less lame and crude and has more zest and genuine enthusiasm, by all in it. And I'm not sure that the Farrelly's could extend a script about brake pads over 90 minutes, either!It's good to see Dan Ackroyd and Bo Derek, Ackroyd himself being another great comic actor. David Spade I really don't know but he makes a great Laurel to Farley's modern day Hardy. Big on size, heart and character, was Mr Farley.Not one I'll be buying on DVD but did enjoy my seeing it on Sky Movies.
