Chris Farley

Tommy Boy - 4/5

This movie takes the wild college guy setup and trades out the raunchy, juvenile humor for a whole lot of heart. Chris Farley carries the movie, of course, and his comedic chemistry with David Spade here cannot be overstated. It’s a timeless classic for a reason and the gags still hold up well today, mostly due to the central performances. It’s definitely worth a watch for those who like ‘90s comedies but somehow haven’t seen it yet.

Closest comparison: It’s like Planes, Trains, and Automobiles by way of an SNL sketch.

Setting: Family Drama
Plot: Road Trip
Tone: Screwball Comedy
