"Tommy Boy" - A Brock Landers Review of A Peter Segal Film (No Rating...I find it impossible to rate any of Chris Farley's films because I love the fat bastard too much...)
You know, you can get a good look at a butcher's ass by shoving your head up it but wouldn't you rather take his word for it?...I mean, I suggest that anyone who hasn't seen this film should. Peter Segal is one of the shittiest directors around...think "Nutty Professor II: The Klumps"...but the Farley/Spade duo never fails to crack me up...it is certainly the most successful of Chris Farley's films...whatever that means...
It stars Chris Farley as Thomas "Tommy" Callahan III and revolves around the Callahan clan business of brakepads in Sandusky, Ohio. Brian Dennehy is Thomas "Big Tom" Callahan, Tommy's dad and owner of the business. David Spade is Richard "Dick" Hayden, the guy assigned to help Tommy on his sales trip when his dad dies. Their is a marriage conspiracy involving Bo Derek/Rob Lowe/Brian Dennehy and a strange romance between Tommy and his High School sweetheart, who happens to work for him. Dan Akroyd pops up as a rival auto parts maker (Ray Zalinski) in another wierd role...anyhow, i love to watch this film even though its not all that great and wonder how everyone feels about it...
Some cool quotes:
-Tommy: But what if the Guarantee Fairy's a crazy glue sniffer? Next thing you know there's change missing from your dresser and
your daughter's knocked up. I've seen it a hundred times.
-Richard: I can practically hear you getting fatter.
-Tommy: Did you hear I graduated?
Richard: Yeah and just a shade under a decade. All right.
Tommy: A lot of people go to college for seven years.
Richard: Yeah, they're called doctors.
-[About M&M's.]Tommy: They have a thin candy shell. I'm surprised you didn't know that.
Richard: I think your brain has a thick candy shell.
-Richard: Housekeeping, you want me to jack you off?
Tommy: What kinda hotel is this?
-Tommy: Does this suit make me look fat?
Richard: No, your face does.
-Richard Hayden: Ya know what? If you don't know how to use your seatbelt, just ring your call button and Tommy will come back there and hit you on the head with a tackhammer because you are a retard...
