Review of Tommy Boy

Tommy Boy (1995)
7/10
Farley, Spade? You decide.
11 March 2006
Not once did I see "Academy Award nominee" labeled on this film, but I was nevertheless amused at the SNL actors' performance as traveling salesmen.

After Tommy Callahan III (Farley) father (Brian Dennehy) checks out, he is the now the heir to the old man's nearly bankrupt auto-parts business, much to the chagrin of the more deserving and heir-apparent Richard Hayden (David Spade, in another sidekick role). But the elder Callahan's new bride/widow attempts to steal the company from her stepson which forces Spade and Farley to team up, sell the parts needed to save the business, and well, two SNL actors, what do you expect? They make for a brilliant combination, and although many of the scenes were silly at times, I found them funny which made for an enjoyable picture.
