Movies - Tommy Boy

Tommy Boy is a 1995 comedy movie starring Chris Farley
and David Spade
. A "Holy Schnike Edition" DVD was released in August 2005.

Plot

Tommy Callahan is a ne'er-do-well prone to drinking binges and bouts of stupidity. After seven years, Tommy graduates from Marquette University and returns to his hometown, Sandusky, Ohio, where his father, "Big Tom" Callahan, gives him a cushy job at the family Auto Parts plant.

However, when Big Tom passes due to a heart attack on his wedding day, just after his marriage to Beverly Barish-Burns, and the bank reneges on Callahan Auto's massive loans, it's up to Tommy and his father's assistant, Richard Hayden, to save the plant. Through both well-written comedy and serious, dramatic moments, this movie is remembered as both Farley's and Spade's best work by many, apart from their time on Saturday Night Live
.

The film did surprisingly well with both the critics and the movie-going public. The Saturday Night Live
partners returned for an equally successful, though critically panned film called Black Sheep (1996), which played on the same format with an almost identical plot (Farley's character is in danger of letting down a family member and is assigned to the corporate slacker Spade. The two cause a number of disasters but eventually come good and save the day).
