The funniest movie I have ever seen in my entire life. I'll admit I'm a complete sucker for Chris Farley and slapstick humour though. If you don't like that then this movie isn't for you as it doesn't provide anything but that. "Bees in the car!" makes me laugh until I cry every single time I see it.

The scene with the fight over the radio is funny. When they finally start singing "Superstar" I am widely smiling. When the hood suddenly pops up, I am laughing. When it comes down and they're heading straight towards a semi, I am gut laughing. When the hood pops back up and blinds them again, I have tears in my eyes and can't see the screen anymore. It's so funny it makes me not watch it.

Holy shnikeys this movie is hilarious! Chris Farley and David Spade are at their best throughout the entire film as they drive around America trying to save their company. No funnier combination of actors has ever been made as Tommy (Farley) tries to learn to function in the real world and Richard (Spade) tries not to jump off a cliff in irritation of the childish Tommy. You will never stop laughing while you watch this film as Farley and Spade display their comic genius around every corner.

A common comedy with a common plot and some painfully common jokes. A lot of physical 'hurf durf I hit my head!' stuff and only a few giggle-worthy moments. However, Chris Farley is a surprisingly likeable protagonist and I thought his good-natured goofiness was kinda charming and enjoyable.

I love Chris Farley. I give this extra points because it is his best movie. I have said before I have the emotional range of a grizzly bear, but his biography really touched me because I've got a lot in common with him aside from doing hard drugs. Everyone should watch this at least once just to see physical comedy at its finest with Chris.

Chris Farley was horrible. As far as I can tell, he only ever had a career because SNL needed a fat guy to fall down a lot. His schtick is totally unfunny, and so are the majority of his films. David Spade sucks also.

Cringey. If the director and screenwriter would have shown up for this, well, there's an alternate universe where Farley and Spade starred in a great comedy together. But in our universe Planes, Trains and Automobiles is spinning in its grave.

Wow, what a lovely surprise. Undeniably childlish humor, but Farley brings such a genuinely sweet and innocent aura to the proceedings--even his piques of rage betray his incompatibility with meanness. My nostalgic brain feels like it found the missing puzzle piece in an upbringing filled with Farrelly and Sandler comedies.

Loud, frantic comedy is simultaneously leaden and dull, due to a lack of comic rhythm from director Segal, and the empty chemistry between Farley and Spade – both actors seem to be uncomfortably playing for two different audiences and never the two shall meet! Mixes vacuous elements of road movies, board room shenanigans and the “whirling dervish”, with none of the elements coming together or clicking. Some amusing scatological bits and Bo Derek WTF? keep this from a barrel bottom scraper.

Nothing quite like telling your friend "this should be stupid, but funny', getting into the movie and realizing that it's only stupid and not really funny at all. Some parts did get at least a few laughs out of us, but generally it's just kind of there. Not boring, but not funny either. Dan Aykroyd is great, though, always.

The comedy odd couple pairing of Chris Farley and David Spade are in full force in this hilarious road trip movie. Classic tale of saving the family business is dropped into the fat hands of the lovable idiot son Tommy (Chris Farley) as he tries to sell enough brake pads with the help of his father's assistant Richard (David Spade) to keep Callahan Auto Parts in business.

I was really not a fan of most of Peter Segal's direction in this movie. Often times the quick cuts kept things from being funny for me. I thought this movie lived on Chris Farley, and he did a great job carrying it. He was hilarious. The physical comedy combined with his comedic timing in each delivery was great. However, even the same jokes wore a bit thin by the end.

Idk a goofy enjoyable feelgood comedy, but it failed to really get me laughing hard. Perhaps I was distracted by the knowledge that the lead died due to a drugsoverdose while hating being fat but feeling obligated to remain fat because he always had been the funny fat guy to everyone. Kinda felt sorry for him. Then again maybe just too much slapstick for my taste :p Great lead, some witty jokes in there, lovers of slapstick will actually love this movie, it's only borderline funny for me tho.

Once you get past the first third it becomes a very funny and charming film. The performances are all great with the clear exception of Rob Lowe. Maybe its just his character, but his performance was truly awful. Not quite a classic but still a good film if you're looking for something light.

Definitely better than I thought it was gonna be. Lots of laughs (the car radio singalongs, for example), wacky moments (the stag coming to life), and also quite a bit of heart as well. Okay, some of the goings-on left plausibility far behind, but it never really took itself too seriously so I didn't mind. And I was even able to put up with that nattering little smirkball David Spade for the duration (glad to see that he went bald at the end btw).

Although this movie is far from perfect it does make me laugh. It is the only good movie was Chris Farley in a starring role, which is too bad he certainly had a lot of potential. David Spade and Farley work well together in this movie playing off of each other. This movie is both funny and sweet at times.
