The Point Is, How Do You Know The Guarantee Fairy Isn't A Crazy Glue Sniffer?

by chad8246 Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 1000, Sep 23 '04
Pros: Farley and Spade have great chemistry and are very funny
Cons: Predictable plot
In Hollywood, buddy comedies are clearly a crutch that producers are eager to revisit with any idea whether it’s good or not. Some times it works wonderfully like in Midnight Run or Thelma And Louise. Other times it brings disastrous results like Cop ...

Truly a comedy classic

by videodude , Aug 26 '05
Pros: Terrific comedy, good comic performances all around
Cons: None
Tommy Boy is a movie that critics love to hate, initially proving to them everything that's wrong with American film. Roger Ebert said in his review of Tommy Boy: "The movie is an assembly of cliches and obligatory scenes from dozens of other movies". ...

Adored by fans, reviled by critics (and anyone with a brain)

by lazario , Aug 29 '05
Pros: Rob Lowe goes shirtless and looks great. Other than that, none whatsoever
Cons: Really bad writing, bad jokes, not funny, bad directing, horrible movie
Don't listen to people who would say things like "critics don't get it." There's nothing to get in a movie like this. And sure a comedy's job is to make people laugh. A comedy however, fails when it appeals only to low class, uneducated viewers ...

Did you eat paint chips as a child? Why?

by saldy , Aug 28 '07
Pros: Chris Farley and David Spade are hillarious, and will keep you laughing all movie long.
Cons: Same old plot good guys vs. bad guys
Tommy Boy is one of the funniest movies in recent memory thanks to Chris Farley and David Spade. Who form the greatest tandem in history since Joe Montana to Jerry Rice from the San Francisco 49ers. The movie starts out with Tommy Calahan at college. ...

"The Resiliency of a Fat Man"

by chakka26 , May 13 '00
Pros: Chris Farley was a comic genius. Farley and Spade make this movie one of the funniest of the 90's, and maybe ever.
Cons: Sometimes this movie doesn't know when to quit, but the fun never turns to stupidity.
Is it just me or was Chris Farley one of the funniest people of all time? There was just something about him that lit up the screen. Whether it was Saturday Night Live or one of his several movies, he always brought true character and personality to...

Even the Bard took a Comic Break!

by janesbit1 Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 200, Mar 06 '00
Pros: Some funny scenes, harmless entertainment, good intentions
Cons: Predictable plot,, stereotypical, poor writing, whole is less than some of the parts
When a friend of mine claimed that “Tommy Boy was the greatest film ever made,” I was incredulous. How could anyone make such a claim! I mean, this film was universally panned by every reputable critic I can think of when it was released...

Pros: How well Farley and Spade play off each other
Cons: You'll make an idiot out of yourself by laughing so hard
I've seen a lot of good movies in my life, but Tommy Boy was awesome! I was very excited when I first saw the previews for this movie, because I have been a huge Chris Farley fan all my life. I still fall off of my chair laughing when I see him on...

Saving the Family Business from Greedy Corporations in Tommy Boy

by wychic , Mar 02 '08
Pros: good acting, fun story, not nearly as annoying as most comedies
Cons: drags a little in spots
The United States is built on free enterprise and so many of the successful businesses we have today began as small family-owned businesses that are, year after year, slowly being merged into national corporations. For Big Tom Callahan (Brian Dennehy) ...

So Funny!

by Lynne-Marie , Feb 11 '00
Pros: Hysterical!
Cons: none
David Spade and Chris Farley were hysterical in their roles! Bo Derek and Rob Lowe were the villians.

My kid brother and nephew had seen it before me and would recite it verbatim without the movie, so I finally went to see it, and good gravy...

Very Funny Schtick.

by spice9195 , Jan 18 '00
Pros: Great movie
Cons: None
I thought this was one of the funniest movies to come from a former SNL cast member. Tommy is one of those morons you love to hate. He is a big dummy but his intentions are good. The poor guy never seems to get his father's saying right. "You can...

A masterpiece

by Johnson45Air , Dec 13 '99
Pros: Chris Farley, his best work
Cons: There can be no sequel with Farley
I saw this movie immediately upon it's theatrical release, because I love Chris Farley. His portrayal of aggressive and physical humor makes me laugh instantly. What a loss of a great actor, unfortunately his private life caught up with him. Anyway, if...

may be the most generic comedy I've ever seen

by Chad9976 Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 1000, Nov 04 '00
Pros: see review
Cons: see review
"Tommy Boy" may be the most generic comedy I've ever seen. It's not really a movie, but more of a 98 minute-long sit-com. Sometimes it's funny, but in a dumbed-down way.

Chris Farley stars as Tommy Callahan, an idiot manchild who is...

Chris Farley's Comical Legend

by shadrach712 , Jan 27 '00
Pros: David Spade and Chris Farley work together like a charm, they fit like a glove, they make true comedy chemistry.
Cons: You may find your pants to be wet after you have watched this hilarious movie.
Many years back, when I first saw Chris Farley perform on a Saturday Night Live skit, I could not stop laughing. Every word that came out of his mouth almost made me urinate in my pants. From the first time I had ever seen him perform, I knew that I...
