Though it benefits from the comic charms of its two leads, Tommy Boy too often feels like a familiar sketch stretched thin. Read critic 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.

Stupid is apparently in.

It's some indication of the wit involved that Farley is reduced to cracking fat jokes at his own expense.

The most peculiar aspect of the movie is that some of it is played straight.

Mostly this is one long, loud, stupid road picture.

Dumber than Dumb and Dumber, Tommy Boy is a comedy that might be a hoot after several beers but is otherwise best avoided.

Audience Reviews for Tommy Boy

May 14, 2012One of Chris Farley's best films. The story is a little lame, but as a comedy there are some genuine funny moments. Of course, as a life long Chris Farley fan, I may be a bit biased. But this is one of those films when you are changing channels, and it's on TV, you put down the remote, kick your feet up on the coffee table, and let out a few laughs. You have to love David Spade's chemistry with Chris Farley, and Brian Dennehy is great as Chris's father. If you want to leave your brain at home, and have a good time for a hour and a half, Tommy Boy is a good way to go.Bryan D Super Reviewer

Sep 14, 2011Tommy Boy was Chris Farley's debut film after SNL fame, but with many crude and meaningless gags that were more juvenile than funny. I feel that such gags when incorporated into something deeper or more grounded in it's comedy can work, but when the whole film just goes from one gross out and immature gag to another it just comes off meaningless and really insults it's viewers.Chris B Super Reviewer
