That's Gunna Leave a Mark

Tommy Boy (1995)

Tommy Boy is a coming of age tale about a Tommy Callahan Jr., the son of a major automotive parts dealer and owner of Callahan Auto. Tommy barely graduated college, after six years and loved the party life. He wasn't too bright, and didn't possess too much common sense. His father was getting remarried, but had a heart attack at his wedding celebration. It was in Tommy's hands now to save the company from failing. He teamed up with his Dad's right hand man and set off on the road to sell 1 million brake pads- the only way Callahan Auto would survive. If he didn't succeed, the con artist that married his father would sell her portion of the company to their biggest competitor.

Tommy Boy is extremely funny. Chris Farley was an amazing actor/comedian, and this was one of his best works. The storyline is complete and David Spade's negative attitude throughout the movie meshed well with Chris Farley's dim-witted humor. Fat Guy in a little coat is still one of my favorite video clips to watch to this day. My favorite quote from this movie actually came from David Spade, "I think I just barfed on an ant hill, they look pissed." This wacky movie will have you laughing out loud and possibly even rolling on the floor-literally.
