This is without a doubt, one of my all-time favorite movies. Chris Farley does not disappoint in what is his best and last, lead role ever. You will be clutching your stomach from laughter from the get-go all the way until the final minutes. There is no weak part in this movie. Almost Heroes is packed with unforgettably hilarious scenes that will keep you laughing years from now when you reminisce on them. Farley's top-notch performance is aided and enhanced by his nearly equally funny ensemble of fellow cast members. Eugene Levy and Matthew Perry keep the laughter ball rolling throughout and there are about four others who are downright hysterical. This is a must-see film that is wildly underrated and enormously under-appreciated. Watch this movie if you want chiseled, 6- pack abs from laughing so hard.

I first caught this movie when it aired on CW a few months ago. It's a real thrill that's full of amusing moments. The basis of this 19th century story is that two explorers named Bartholomew Hunt (Chris Farley) and Leslie Edwards (Matthew Perry), among and along with several, other allies go on an expedition and they're in a competition of sorts against Lewis and Clark. Which make both duos counterparts and rivals to each other. This is a fun spin on what could've nearly been historically had the former duo's group beaten the latter's to the punch. The meeting between comedy and history makes for a much more engaging and compelling subject matter. It's a fine outing as the grand finale of the late, former SNL alumnus Farley's film performances. One of the highlights for me and among my favorite parts is when Bart gets carried away by the eagle before falling into the ocean (or was it the sand dune/beach? I'm not sure). Hopefully, for those who aren't very into crude humor, it's few and far between, so y'all should be able to get past those moments and check it out, if y'all haven't already. I think I've seen some or most of Farley's films and I still haven't even settled on a favorite (most and least) yet. And he did it again, having another hit with this one. I'm with those who disagree with the others who could be known as the haters of this movie, it's as great, if not better, than the other movies in one of the lead actors' filmographies. This comical adventure flick is a rollicking, grand old time y'all will neither regret nor forget.

This movie was full of flat jokes and bad gags. Chris Farley tries but does not deliver very many laughs. Matthew Perry bringing his Chandler Bing character from Friends to the wilderness does not work. Even a few stabs at off the wall humor hardly produce a snicker. I kept waiting for this movie to get going but it just kept coming across like an over long comedy skit. Eugene Levy and Kevin Dunn were the only two characters that were funny. It was a shame there was not more for them to do. Making a comedy from a history lesson has it's possibilities but they blew any chance with this boring attempt. It was nothing more than SNL AND SCTV go to the woods.

OK, I'm an avid DVD watcher like probably so many of you all out there, 3 nights ago I was watching Tommy Boy, a marvelous piece of comedy film, that's both full of laughs and full of heart. After watching it I jumped on IMDb to get some info and ideas for my next movie. Looking through Chris Farley movie's I came across Almost Heroes, have seen most of Farley's (all the pre Happy Gilmore films with Sandler and Spade) I thought why not, and directed by Chris Guest, I love his mockumentary's like Spinal Tap and Mighty Wind I really thought it would be a combo that couldn't let me down. Yet sitting through this film really surprised me how you can have so many greats working on such a dull film. Perry is just shocking, and I don't know about you but is permanently type cast in my eye as Chandler from friends. I don't like him, I wont ever like him. But yet he isn't something to fear away from the movie because of. No he's just the icing on the cake to a pretty shonky movie all round. The script was dull, the jokes were slow, there was no real solid comedy timing used. Most of all I'm just shocked and amazed that Guest would allow something just so flat get made. I mean Farley is his usual standard, hes as good as the actors around him. You cant help that. But Guest has written some real clever comedy over the years. Some that has made me laugh so hard that I've had to pull my self back onto the chair and go, "Hey, Wha Happened?" The jokes used in this film must of been his leftovers. Its the only logical reason. The last Farley film, probably the one he could of done without.
