Editorial Review:
Amazon.com: The boys are back and they're bigger than ever in the gut busting, all-new Holy Schnike Edition! Crack-up comedians Chris Farley and David Spade star as two ne'er-do-well traveling salesmen who hit the road in order to save the family business in this 'infectiously funny'*, larger than life movie. Co-starring Rob Lowe, Bo Derek, Dan Akroyd and Brian Dennehy. *Gary Arnold, The Washington Times
Amazon.com: Before his death, comedian Chris Farley made a pair of surprisingly successful comedies that teamed him with Saturday Night Live colleague David Spade. Their relationship in each film was pretty much the same, but then so was Abbott and Costello's or Laurel and Hardy's (not that Farley and Spade are in their league). In Tommy Boy, Farley plays the ne'er-do-well son of a successful auto parts manufacturer (Brian Dennehy). When Dad drops dead just after marrying a young new wife, it's up to Tommy (aided by sarcastic bean-counter Spade) to rescue the company by taking over for his father. Black Sheep features a slightly different plot: This time, Spade is hired by Farley's brother (Tim Matheson), a candidate for governor, to keep Farley (an accident-prone buffoon) out of sight until after the election. Farley has a likable quality that is exploited by continuous slapstick centered on his clumsiness, both physically and socially. --Marshall Fine

Rating: - The absolute funniest movie I have ever seen!
This film is Chris Farley at the absolute top of his game. There are so many classic scenes in this film that it's too long to list. Notably hilarious are the "burning model car" and the "guarantee fairy" scenes. One can't help but laugh out loud at these scenes every time (I start laughing even before they start now!)
The team of Farley and Spade never worked better than in this film. Richard's (Spade) biting sarcasm plays perfectly to Tommy's (Farley) "buffoon with a heart of gold" (a ... Read More
Rating: - BEES! BEES IN THE CAR!!!!
Don't know what the title means? See this movie and you'll know all too well what I'm talking about. Unfortunately for myself I have not been well acquainted with the comedic extraordinaire who was Chris Farley (may you rest in peace big guy) outside of "best of" episodes for SNL. Equally fortunate for me though, I have a friend who, upon hearing that I've never seen Tommy Boy, decided not to rest until I have enjoyed this gem of a film. I was a little skeptical, after all this is the guy who on three ... Read More
Rating: - Good
This movie is downright hilarious. I still get sad watching this movie since Christ Farley's passing. David Spade is also one of my all time favorite comedians.
Rating: - Awesome
Chris Farley and David Spade at their best! Tommy boy keeps me laughing even the 25th time I've seen it. Debatedly even better than Black Sheep.
