Those who know me are aware that I’m a huge Chris Farley fan (may he rest in peace!)—and know of my affection for the movie, “Tommy Boy”, which came out in 1995.
Together with David Spade, Rob Lowe, Dan Akroyd, Bo Derek and others, it was-and is a nonstop laugh fest. In fact, I cannot think of any other movie during which I laughed so hard—or—the litmus test of cinema---one from which I quote the funny lines more often.
Is it stupid?
Yes.
Is it infantile?
Yes.
Is it hilarious nevertheless?
Hell, yes!
It’s difficult to rank ONE film above all others. Also in my top ten are: “Blazing Saddles”, “Trains, Planes and Automobiles” and “Black Sheep” (another Farley-Spade partnership)
And yet, I am astounded at the number of people who HAVEN’T seen this film yet! Fifteen years after the fact, there are many people who still need to be indoctrinated!
Below is the official movie trailer—and also a bootleg copy of one of the funniest scenes.

Damn, he was a mess---and a comic genius as well.
If you’re looking for more than an occasional chuckle, rent “Tommy Boy” this weekend. I’ve often said that I’d pay anyone $100 if they could sit through this film in its entirety without laughing out loud at least ONCE.
It cannot be done.
