Tommy Boy
To save the family business, two ne’er-do-well traveling salesmen hit the road with disastrously funny consequences.
Critics Sentiment
A seemingly dead deer comes back to life and destroys their car
Tommy and Richard fight and nearly destroy Richard's classic Plymouth GTX
The film jumps from its lowest point during the car destruction fight scene to its comedic peak with the deer-in-car sequence
Tommy Boy maintains solid audience affection throughout most of its runtime, anchored by the beloved chemistry between Chris Farley and David Spade. The film peaks during its most memorable slapstick moments like the deer scene and 'fat guy in a little coat,' while dipping during more generic buddy comedy conflicts. Despite some criticism of its familiar plot and over-the-top moments, reviewers consistently praised Farley's charismatic performance and the film's surprising emotional heart.
