Tommy Boy-Holy Schnike Edition (1995)

"A good belly laugh of a movie. Rowdy, rambunctious and sweet-natured.  Kevin Thomas, LA Times

Editor's Note After Tommy (Chris Farley) barely graduates from college, he returns home to the Midwest where his father (Brian Dennehy), the owner of an auto parts factory, immediately employs his dumber-than-dumb son. While Tommy was away at school, his father had fallen in love with a beautiful woman (Bo Derek) and now desires to marry her. During the wedding ceremony, however, Tommy's dad tragically dies from a heart attack, which puts the company's--and its 300 employees'--future at stake. It is up to Tommy to use any available intelligence to keep his father's factory from going under. This road comedy uses the seriously comedic chemistry between the late Farley and his SATURDAY NIGHT LIVE buddy David Spade to brilliant effect.

Chris Farley is like the class clown who grates at first but finally wears down his schoolmates with his relentless eagerness to please. He's loud, he's physical and he wants to be loved by the 12-year-old in all of us. - Walter Addiego
