Candice Frederick Reel Talk Online Brent Hodge and Derik Murray's new film will likely captivate the comedian's legions of fans, though it may alienate the rest of us. Rated: C- Sep 1, 2017 Full Review Brad Wheeler Globe and Mail A bittersweet salute, appraisal and explanation of the early-nineties Saturday Night Live troupe mainstay. Rated: 3/4 Aug 14, 2015 Full Review Jim Slotek Toronto Sun It serves merely to remind us of lightning that struck briefly and memorably in the comedy world, and then was gone. Rated: 3.5/5 Aug 13, 2015 Full Review M. Faust The Public (Buffalo) It may not make you a fan, but if you already are it's unmissable. Oct 11, 2017 Full Review Joe Bendel Epoch Times Hodge & Murray paint a comprehensive portrait of Farley as a devout Catholic and a devoted friend and brother. Rated: 3.5/5 May 19, 2016 Full Review Amanda Waltz The Film Stage We're left wondering a lot of things, as I Am Chris Farley scratches the surface of Farley's life and death, but never bothers to dig any deeper.

Garry W Laughed my ass off...must see for Chris Farley fans Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/17/24 Full Review StephenPaul C LOL, the funniest 01 hour: and 35 minutes ever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Ages 14 and older!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 08/24/23 Full Review georgan g Impossible to untangle my love for Chris Farley with the actual movie. A sad tale of anxiety that's funny but tragic. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review camille l I Am Chris Farley est un documentaire fait par des amis de Chris Farley, pour des fans de Chris Farley et qui souhaiteraient se rappeler des bons souvenirs de Chris Farley. Une fois ceci compris, le film de Brent Hodge et Derik Murray est plutôt sympathique à défaut d'être vraiment informatif. Chris Farley semblait être un comique aimé de ses pairs et le tout semble plutôt honnête pour une telle hagiographie. Encore une fois, c'est un plaisir d'entendre parler Mike Myers et Adam Sandler d'humour, de comment faire rire et de la science du stand-up. Mais I Am Chris Farley n'essaie pas d'amener des non-fans à regarder ses films et c'est ici que réside son principal souci. Dommage! Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member Excellent doc. really shows you what made Chris, Chris. I have a bias in that I really liked him I thought he was a force of brilliant nature on SNL and although not all his movies were perfect they all had a sense of fun and energy thanks to his larger than life personality. One of those actors that as a viewer you dont know how much of an impact they have on you until theyre gone. Miss you Chris RIP. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/28/23 Full Review les n I hope there is more to this than his friends and family saying "he was really talented".
