Tommy Boy
March 31, 1995 in theaters
When his father drops dead days after remarrying, good-natured goofball Tommy Callahan hits the road with his uptight new colleague Richard to save the family auto-parts business from going under. The 1995 Paramount comedy is a masterclass in physical comedy and mismatched-buddy chemistry, built entirely around Chris Farley's irresistible screen presence.

THE VERDICT
Synthesized from published reviews
Tommy Boy is the purest distillation of what made Chris Farley a generational comedy talent -- enormous energy, total commitment, and a sweetness that makes you root for him no matter how badly he destroys everything around him. The Farley-Spade dynamic is genuinely one of comedy's great odd-couple pairings: Spade's dry contempt is the perfect straight-line delivery for Farley's chaos. Nearly thirty years later it still lands, and it always will.
