Tommy Boy stars the late Chris Farley at his comedic finest with David Spade. He plays bumbling fratboy Tommy Callahan whose world is turned upside down when his father remarries and suddenly dies. Hilarity ensues when it is up to Tommy to save the company (which makes auto parts) and therefore the town. There are some classic one-liners and Farley was pretty agile for a big guy (the scene in the airplane bathroom is hilarious). Julie Warner is very likable as the small-town girl and Rob Lowe plays a weasel. Totally a hilarious movie without resorting to a lot of bathroom humor.

I love this movie i wanted to get it for my husband! He loved it and it was a great time and in great condition too! Thanks!!!!!!!!

This movie got me through college. Whenever I was stressed about a test or finals, I would just watch Tommy Boy and it was hard to be stressed when I was laughing so hard. I have probably seen this movie 100 times and it is still as funny now as it was when I first saw it.

This one my favorite from Chris Farley.
He plays the son of a car parts manufacturer.
In the process of becoming a man his father dies,
and leaves him and his step mother the business.
Chris Farley plays a innocently stupid guy that
thinks everybody is good until he finds out his step
mother and new brother are trying to hijack the business.
The mother and son are con artists trying to suck the business for
everything it has.
Can Chris(Tommy Boy) catch them before they destroy the business his father spent his whole life building.
I rate this DVD a 9 from 1to10!!

The movie Tommy Boy is about two guys that are going on a trip. This movie is a comedy movie. This movie is about two hours long. In the middle of the movie it gets to be very detailing and more funny. At the end Tommy is very heartbreaking because his dad dies. This movie was produced in 1995.

Tommy Boy is a great movie starring Chris Farley and David Spade. David Spade plays the son of a car parts manufacturer whose business is on the brink of closing. Chris Farley and David Spade go on a road trip to bring back his father's company. Hilarity ensues as both characters get into a ton of trouble. I I absolutely loved this movie and it is truley a Farley classic. If you are not a fan of Chris Farley I wouldn't recommend it. The extra features of the DVD are plentiful, including behind the scenes, deleted scenes, outtakes, and commentary. Overall I highly recommend this movie if you are into low brow humor that is a little vulgar. David Spade and Chris Farley have a great natural chemistry that can easily be seen throughout the entire movie.

Tommy Boy is one of the best comedy flick ever featuring the late great Chris Farely. I remeber watching it when I was a kid numerous times and never getting tired of it. Now as an adult I still find it just as funny if not funnier. It is one of those movies you can pop in whenever just to laugh.

If you haven't seen Tommy Boy then I would strongly recommend it.

I love this movie from beginning to end. It is my favorite comedy of all time!

This is one of my favorite movies! :) You can't go wrong with Chris!

this is the quintescential chris farely movie. all his best stuff rolled into one. he and david spade make a great comedy team. this is a movie you will never grow tired of. you could watch it every groundhog day, arbor day, flag day, boxing day and other holiday's too, and never grow tired of it.

don't bother renting it, you'll just end up buying anyway.
there are so many funny moments; some that require rewinding because you've laughed so hard you missed the following dialog. i laughed myself out of my seat during the deer scene. you will "feel like a horse's patute" if you don't see this movie. this is one of the funniest movie of all time. E! ranked it in the top 30 of funnist movies ever, but i think it deserves a higher rank.

get this along with "the best of chris farley's on SNL ("down by the river," "the nino," chirs farley show, chippendale, etc)" to get the most hilarious moments and scenes of chris. we love you chris! you will continue to make us laugh forever. i will definately be that guy that forces his kids to watch "grown-up humor" movies.

this movie is definately kablamo!

Tommy Boy Directed by Peter Segal
PG-13 97min.

Who Killed The Keg?

Have you ever seen a movie where you laughed so hard you almost choked on something you eating? Well here's one of those movies. Tommy Boy is a hilarious slapstick comedy featuring some of the besting actors and is directed by Peter Segal. This movie takes place in the U.S. in the 1990's. Tommy Callahan (Chris Farley, Saturday Night Live) just got his diploma after 7 years of college. After returning home Tommy realizes that his dad (Brian Dennehy) is marrying a real hot mama (Bo Derek.) But unexpectedly his father has a heart attack at his wedding. Before you could say "Who killed the keg?" the family auto parts business starts to go downhill and it's about to be sold but Tommy plus his dad's right hand man, Richard (David Spade, Saturday Night Live) volunteer to go on the road and sell the company's merchandise in order to pay off the bank. The only problem.... neither of them know a single thing about sales. If I had a penny for each thing either of them knew about sales I'd be dirt poor. What will happen to the business?

This movie is one of those movies that, makes you laugh until you pee your pants and then you laugh some more. You'll want to watch this movie over and over again. This can be compared to Black Sheep some of Farley and Spade's previous work. This movie is hilarious, has a good plot and is easy to understand. Farley's personality in this movie is hilarious. I have seriously seen this movie at least 100 times and it's still funny. No matter which way this movie turns it's still always funny.


I recommend this movie to 10 and up but because of the PG-13 so only 13 and up might be able to see it. Also comedy lovers should see it because if they don't they don't know what they are missing.

If you don't see this movie and ;laugh their is something wrong with you.

This is a very funny movie! Farley and Spade looked like a strong comic team in this film. Basicly a buddy/road film with a heart. Farley was never funnier in any movie than this one! A must have in your comedy collection.

This is a classic Chris Farley ...
David Spade has done a remarkably good job ...
After watching this one, I had no hesitation to go out and buy some more Chris Farley movies.
The DVD reached my address on time and m a happy Amazon customer.
I say go get it!

Tommy Calihan III (Chris Farley) has always been a loser even though his father has been a successful owner of a car parts company, he has recently been given a business degree and his father Big Tom Calihan (Brian Denehey) teaches him how to run the business. Suddenly Big Tom dies, leaving the company business to Tommy with his dad's assistant Richard (David Spade) to be his guide and Big Tom's new wife (Bo Derek) has only married his father for his money and her secret lover (Rob Lowe) are waiting for Tommy to run the company to the ground so they can have it for themselves. Richard and Tommy begin a road trip in selling the company's product in order to become a major success even though Tommy isn't too bright about anything as long as Richard is with him.

Hilarious comedy that has became a cable favorite over the years and a cult favorite! It's become Chris Farley's big breakthrough after making appearences in such movies like "Airheads!", "Coneheads", and "Billy Madison", David Spade is funny as the weassley business worker who becomes either a friend or foe to Farley's character. Thus it makes a likable duo like Laural and Hardy or Cheech & Chong, this is a great comedy that i recommend if you love the genre.

This special edition has very good picture and sound with quality extras like audio commentary, trailer, TV Spots, deleted & extended scenes, alternate takes, storyboard comparisions, gag reel, photo gallery, and 4 featurettes.

You will not be disappointed.

I love this movie.
Totally cracks me up!
I think I'll watch it again this weekend!

There is actually a story line too!

Classic movie - one of my favourite comedys of all time from legondary but unfortunatly short lives comic genius Chris Farley

Although "Black Sheep" is a funnier movie, in that it has more vintage Farley/Spade humor, this film has a better-written story-line, at least I think so. But the two films are VERY similar, in premise and script. The Farley-Spade chemistry is evident throughout; Spade's dark, caustic wit, played off of Farley's over-the-top performance, is a non-stop journey through a story which, although a little hard to believe in spots, is a little uplifting. The sadness over the death of the father (Brian Dennehy) gives the story a serious tone, and the final scene, with Farley's character, sitting in his sailboat, talking to the wind, telling his father how much he'll be missed, shows him as a sensitive, albeit immature, man who really loved his father, and wants to make him proud.

Jokes from Farley about Spade, and vice versa, are first-rate, but the two funniest moments in the film are probably when Farley's character is trying to sell a business owner some brake pads, and re-enacts a car accident with model cars from the business owner's desk. He's trying to show him what could happen with "the other guy's brake pads." This is classic, vintage Farley, and a far more subtle moment, but really hilarious, would be after Spade's and Farley's character actually have a physical confrontation. Richard (Spade) finally crashes a plank of wood across Tommy's (Farley's) face, knocking him unconscious. The next scene has them sitting in a restaurant, staring at one another, not speaking, and the soundtrack is playing "...I'm sorry, so sorry..." That is the trick to enjoying any good movie; paying close attention to the quieter moments. They always have more content than the more visible, noisy parts. Often, something important is lost on an audience, because in a slower, less involved scene, that's when someone has to go to the bathroom, or get something to drink. This has ruined the enjoyment of many a movie, in the theater, as well as the home, for me, at least, and I am sure I speak for lots of movie fans by saying this. Get your stuff, and pee BEFORE the movie begins!

But, in all, Tommy Boy is one of those comedies that will leave you laughing long after the movie ends.

There are so many funny moments in this movie by the end you will still be laughing about them all. I first saw this movie when I was ten. I only understood the slapstick humor. When I watched it again when I was thirteen it was triple the hilarity!
Here's some example's of really funny golden Farley moments:
1) Chris(Tommy Calahan) flopping down on a coffee table.
2) Chris backing up in Richard's(David Spade) car and messing up the door.
3) The classic "Fat guy in a little coat, fat guy in-a-little coat"
4) The deer destroying Richard's car.
5) Chris and his step-brother going cow tipping
Plus there are numerous one liner fat jokes delivered from David Spade. If you have never had the oppurtunity to see this work of art, get ready to give meaning to your life! Ok, that might have been exagerated a bit, but I all-out recomend this movie.
It sure is sad that Farley could'nt have gotten the chance to make more movies. I bet he would've grown to make more in-depth films like his bud Sandler has recently done. None of his other movies were as funny as Tommy Boy. (Beverly Hills Ninja comes close) You should definetely purchase this movie.

Chris Farley was one of the best comedians of all time. This movie put him on the map. Rob lowe also shows he can be a good comedian also. This is also one of Brien Dennehy's best works, ofcourse behind "First Blood". Order your copy today!

no one can deny that this movie is one of the greatest comedies to ever grace the silver screen

this dvd is worth it, especially the "just the two of us" feature with interviews with the late great chris farley, as well as his family, co-stars, and david spade

ALSO on every sub-menu on disc two is a hidden feature; search around the buttons with ur arrow keys and u will eventually uncover a smiley face; click it 2 watch a cool bonus feature (there are at least four or five of these)

RIP chris farley

But if you have seen it then you should really check out the "Holy Schnike" edition. Directors commentary is surprisingly enjoyable. Also deleted and alternate scenes, gag reel, and 4 kind of short featurettes. The first featurette is the longest and the best, but with Chris Farley gone, I will bow my head, and pick up anything with his name on it. When someone tells a story of Chris Farley, you can instantly picture him in your mind and laughs are guaranteed.

If you are a Chris Farley fan, it dont get no better than this. His every facial expression had me laughing hysterically. Son of a... defintely leaves a mark!

I bought this version for my brother, and myself! It is the most often quoted movie my brother and I use. It is cool, because we can quote just about any movie quote, in front of our kids. Most other movies we like, are R Rated, and hard to quote.

But something about this movie, just keeps the laughs coming.

Rent or buy this Holy Schnike version! I managed to get the Tommyboy bobblehead from the Best Buy special offer. My brother really enjoyed this gift.

Buy this movie and have a great time! You won't be sorry!

MC White said: Check it out!!!

I've seen this movie before and it rocks!Get it before it is sold out!Rated PG-13 for sexual humor,some drug content,nudity,and brief language.Canada:PG

This is one of the best movies to come from any of the cast members of Saturday Night Live. Chris Farley and David Spade are an amazing comic duo and it's a terrible shame that we only got to enjoy two of their movies before Farley's untimely passing.

Tommy Boy has not become a comedy favorite among fans of this particular genre due to the storyline... It's because of the performances and the undeniable chemistry between Farley and Spade. Chris Farley goes all out, as he always did, with his physical comedy - while David Spade stuck to his guns as the sly, sarcastic character who prefers picking people apart with his commentary. They compliment each other very well and their interplay is hilarious throughout the movie.

There is nothing amazing about the story, but there is something about the way it's done that will win you over. There are countless lines in this movie that have lived on and been quoted over the years...

The "Holy Shnike" Edition comes with tons of extras on a bonus disc (and at Best Buy, you also get a really cool Tommy Callahan bobble-head doll as part of an exclusive offer). There is some really excellent behind-the-scenes footage on the bonus disc that gives you more insight into the comic pairing of Farley and Spade, as well as a look at the life of Chris Farley. Great material.

Highly recommended!

10 STARS!!!!!! The title shows the new hit single on MTV. JK, but this is the definitely the funniest movie I have seen in years, I laughed myself off the couch when I was watching the seen where the hood flew up and when Tommy [Farley] was singing, "Fat Guy In A Little Coat". ABSOLUTELY HILARIOUS. THIS IS NOT RENTAL MATERIAL, one of the funniest movies ever made, I gurantee it. GRAB YOUR COPY today and be sure to remember to say;

"LUKE, I AM YOUR FATHER" with a fan next time, it enchances the SOUND!!!!!!

The movie that I would really recommend seeing this semester is Tommy Boy, directed by Peter Segal. This movie is about a college student who after 7 years finally gets out and heads home. When he gets home he father offers him a job in he auto parts factory. The factory is very tight on money because they are trying to open a new brake pads division. When Tommy Boy arrives at home he comes to meet what will be his new mom. After some turmoil in the family Tommy Boy has to make a road trip around the midwest trying to sell the new brake pads to save the company. I would strongly recommend seeing this movie it will keep you laughing till the end.

Absolutely one of the 2 funniest films ever made. No lie. It's got heart and soul in spades. Great music and an impeccable script. How do I know? My boys, 3 nd 5 years old are obsessed with this film and we have probably watched it 40 - 50 times. I clear my throat loudly when a 'bad' word is uttered ("you want me to take a ____ in a box and label it guaranteed? I've got the time.") This film holds up, is sweet and hilariously funny at the same time.
There's been only 1 of comedy in the last 25 years that can make a similar claim... Spinal Tap.

I saw someone had come along and simply given "not helpful" votes to many of the fine reviews here. That person is an idiot.

This is the best comedy film ever made.

Period.

Very Funny. I wish I could see more of Julie Warner. This seems to be the last great performance by her. The plot goes as follows.When Tommy Callahan graduates triumphantly after seven years of college with a D+ average and returns to Sandusky, Ohio, to learn the family business, no one is prouder than his father, Big Tom--or more surprised than his hometown. Callahan Auto Parts is the lifeblood of the town, so when Big Tom takes a new bride, young Tommy finds himself confronted with buyout attempts and intrigue. It becomes clear.

AAARRRGH!!! THOSE B@$+@RDS!!! Never in a million years did I expect `em to re-release "Tommy Boy" in a Super-Tricked-Out-Special-Edition version DVD! This has gotta be the sneakiest double-dip ploy ever (read more on the double-dip phenomenon at www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/guides/guide-display/-/3CVFIEG84F2PF )! But when I think about it, why should I be surprised? After all, Paramount's been pullin' this nonsense ever since they entered the DVD market. From the Star Trek flicks to "The Untouchables" movie, the company aims to make ya pay for the same thing (`cept different) twice. And boy did they do that to me here! Well, sorta, anyway: I sold off my personal copy of the old version a few months before the new version came out, then waited 'til a copy of the new version popped up in the used section at the local new-and-used-CD-and-video joint, and snapped `er right up. So bite me, Paramount! (sorry, Amazon)

But, on with the show. Here's the deal: I don't get it... I've no clue why I love this movie. It's just the late Chris Farley performing his usual screw-up pratfall antics that I recalled him doing on "Saturday Night Live", most of which which I never considered even remotely amusing. But for some reason, I love him doing the same spiel here. Maybe it's the inclusion of fellow SNL'er and smart@$$ extraordinaire David Spade into the mix that gives this movie its odd charm? (they always did interact well with each other after all) Or is it the gradual destruction Spade's character's car goes through throughout this road-trip misadventure? Or it could just be Farley falling down and getting' smacked about a lot and yelling a lot.

This is also quite possibly one of the stupidest comedies ever put to film, but for some sick reason it gets funnier every time I watch it. My favorite part is a mud-covered Farley doing a really dorky dance and loudly bellowing one-hit wonder Michael Sembello's "Maniac" while Rob Lowe hoses him down with cold water at a gas station. The worst part is, this has got to be the LAMEST moment of the movie! But each time I watch this scene I gotta pause the DVD so I don't miss the next two minutes I'd laugh through! Also good for a few laughs is Farley's demonstration of what happens when you don't use the right kind of brake pads... priceless!

Anyhoo, on to my assessment of the Holy Schnike Edition special features. There's the commentary track by director Peter Segal, who discusses the plethora of difficulties he encountered whilst filming the movie, as well as the tragically unrealized potential of Chris Farley crossing over into more dramatic roles, a la John Candy, and Farley's on-screen chemistry with David Spade. Speaking of which: several of the behind-the-scenes documentaries talk about the interplay between these men, which was pretty much the same off-screen as it was on. Also talked about in the docs are the real-life experiences the movie crew... er, experienced (such as the drive-side door-hyperextension and hood-flying-open gags), as well as a few real-life Chris Farley bits (such as the "Holy schnikes!" phrase and the oddly amusing "fat guy in a little coat"). Throw in the usual love-fest between cast and crew, and you pretty much have your standard stand of making-of/behind-the-scenes featurettes. You know, just once I'd like to watch one of these behind-the-scenes shows where castmates actually diss each other? Wouldn't it have been great to hear co-star Rob Lowe state that he thought Farley was so obnoxious at times, he wanted to give the guy a kick in the nards? Or David Spade talking about how much of a scumbag the director was when they shot the movie? Man, that would've been so refreshing to expereince some brutal honesty from those folks. Instead, you get the story of Farley and Spade fighting over Rob Lowe. Er, just to hang out with him, not the other... thing. Um... yeah. Er, let's move on, shall we?

Also shown are several deleted rough scenes, extensions of (mostly) left-in scenes, and alternate angles, many of which feature introductions by the director. And I must say, I hadda agree with the guy that some of `em worked, but many of `em didn't. Still, it's kinda neat to see what they tried out, but didn't quite make the cut. Also shown is a gag/blooper reel where Farley and Co. suffer a severe case of what David Spade would call a "severe case of ForgetLineItis." Finally, there's the obligatory theatrical trailer and a whopping nineteen TV spots, all of which put together seem to run as long as the movie itself. Naturally, all of the adverts were heavy on Farley's whole falling-down-and/or-getting-hit-on-the-head-and-yelling-a-lot schtick, topped off with a sarcastic remark or two by Spade.

Bottom line: I consider "Tommy Boy" the high point of Chris Farley's short and rather tragic comedy acting career. So if you're looking to be entertained by something that's so stupid it's funny, you just might have stumbled on to something here. And if ya like this one, may I recommend "Beverly Hills Ninja", where Farley's doin' pretty much the same schtick that he's doin' here... only without the obnoxious sarcasm of David Spade for the main man to play off of. Speakin' of Spade: the only time I've ever really liked him was when he co-starred with Farley in this and "Black Sheep." Oh, all right: he was kinda funny on "Just Shoot Me" some times. Otherwise, he really cheeses me off something fierce whenever he dares show his weasely little self on my TV screen. Especially those credit card commercials he's been doin' recently... ugh. I'd like to say "no... nein...nyet... nada" to those annoying ads whenever they pop up on my TV screen!

`Late

Farley and Spade at their best. Great comedy. You can expect this from odd couples, and these guys couldn't get any different. Smart,slow. Fat,skinny. Stern..uh..not stern. So great I had to buy it. If you like comedies, this is definitely not rental material.

Tommy Boy is a very funny and cute movie, definitely the best and funniest movie about a road trip that I have ever watched. Chris Farley and David Spade made a great comedy team, they are very funny and also very endearing. I highly reccomend this hilarious movie to all fans of Chris Farley, David Spade, and SNL.

This "Special Edition" is nice, but not what it could've been. You will find that the special features are nice. The behind the scenes footage is fun. The interviews with the living cast members are alright. You will find that the deleted scenes and the extended scenes are, for the most part very funny! That's where the DVD fails. I found myself wondering, why didn't Peter Segal make a Director's Cut? Some of the scenes that were cut could've definitely added to this cult classic's comedic appeal. Everybody else is releasing Director's Cuts. This edition deserved that. Bottom Line, if you already own the original release and have no real yearning for special features, save your money. If you really want to expand your Chris Farley library, get your mitts on his SNL Best of Chris Farley and see how it all started. That "Best of.." and "Tommy Boy" are some of the required lessons that future physical comedians will be taking notes from.
