      What to know

      Critics Consensus

      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

      After his beloved father (Brian Dennehy) dies, dimwitted Tommy Callahan (Chris Farley) inherits a near-bankrupt automobile parts factory in Sandusky, Ohio. His brand new stepmother, Beverly (Bo Derek), wants to cash out and close, but Tommy's sentimental attachment to his father's employees spurs him to make one last-ditch effort to find someone who will buy their products. With his father's tightly wound assistant, Richard (David Spade), in tow, Tommy hits the road to scare up some new clients.

      • May 14, 2012

        One 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.

        Tommy Boy is a classic and a good time from start to finish. Chris Farley was a comedic genius.
