Description:
It was a time of heroes. Well, almost. They were hearty men in those days. Men who, like Bartholomew Hunt and Leslie Edwards, made sure that when adventure called, it got a wrong number. Chris Farley and Matthew Perry team with director Christopher Guest (Waiting for Guffman, Best in Show) to venture into uncharted comedy territory. Where explorers Lewis and Clark go, Hunt (Farley) and Edwards (Perry) follow, hoping to overtake the famed expeditioners and be the more fiery trailblazers. In a land dotted with bears, native tribes, pioneer outposts and wandering conquistadors having a bad hair day, is there not also room for two more adventurers eager to make a name for themselves? Westward ho-ho-ho!

Average Rating: 
Rating:  - Comedy In The 1880's!!!
I always thought that this was a very funny movie. It makes fun of historical events. Leslie Edwards and Bartholomew Hunt and others try to beat Lewis and Clark to the Pacific. A lot of hilarious things happen, like Chris Farley trying to get the egg of an Eagle for his friend, before he dies. Chris gets hungry and cooks the egg, then he has to go up the tree again. This was Chris Farley's last movie, and it is one of his best movies! If you love comedy, and Chris Farley, you'll love ALMOST HEROES!!!
Rating:  - Pathetic
How can a Christopher Guest movie be this pathetic? There isn't a laugh, not even a smile. It's crude enough to attract a few teenies, but how about something amusing for those with intelligence?
Rating: - A real treasure
This movie is one of my absolute favorite movies. It is one of those movies you can watch over and over again. This movie stars Chris Farley and Matthew Perry who, it turns out, make a hilarious comic duo. The movie is about two men and their crew who try to beat Lewis and Clark to the pacific ocean. The cast in this movie is great. I have seen this movie well over a dozen times and it still continues to make me laugh every time. If you are a fan of any of Chris Farley's movies you are bound to like this ... Read More
Rating: - Perry and Farely make a good team
This movie is funny. The acting may not be all that great, the story line might be a little boring, and it may not make all that much sense but where this movie lags chris farely and matt perry make it up for it. The movie is filled with scenes that will make you laugh. It's to bad theres little things that stop this from being a classic. For one the theres to many scense that just go to far. Second, there is some poor acting from some minor characters. Overall this movie is worth watching and i recommend ... Read More
Rating: - Almost Heroes: Wacky Characters and One-Liners
This movie derives it's humor from a series of wacky frontier situations that are completely accepted as normal by everyone but Matthew Perry.
The cast of this movie is excellent, you'll recognize most of them from Christopher Guest's "Mockumentary" films, but also involved are some unknowns who really steal the show and support a shallow plot.
The film is full of memorable one-liners and one particularly funny monologue where a member of the group (Higgins) tells how he tricked his ... Read More
