Reviews
Against the odds of a feeble script and uninspired direction the duo do, in fact, grow on you, and there are a smattering of silly laughs.
If this pairing sounds like movie magic to you, we're sure you'll love the picture.
It's some indication of the wit involved that Farley is reduced to cracking fat jokes at his own expense.
There’s nothing to grasp, nothing that gives off that good feeling of enjoying a comedy.
It's not high art -- but it IS pretty damn funny, and sometimes that's more than good enough.
Tommy Boy unspools just as you expect it to, and the comedy is as unrewarding as the story
A bone-headed farce that embraces its banality with sheer jubilation. Farley and Spade bring their inspired and nutty SNL antics to frenzied form.
The most peculiar aspect of the movie is that some of it is played straight.
