797.0. "Tommy Boy" by BUSY::BUSY::SLABOUNTY (Trouble with a capital 'T') Fri Mar 31 1995 20:16

    
    	Chris Farley, David Spade.
    
    	This looks even worse than "Major Payne".
    
    	I guess it doesn't help that I think Chris Farley is the least
    	funny person in the world.

Unfortunately, you're wrong.
David Spade is the least funny person in the world.

    They're both funnier than Adam "one voice, one joke" Sandler, imo.

797.5Bo and Lowe....MKOTS3::TCC051::CORRIGANMon Apr 03 1995 13:5510

	it's definatly the "old" Bo from the neck down, but from the
	(scrawny) neck up, it's the new "old" Bo trying to stay and look
	like the old "old" Bo!!! howz that?!?!?!



	Rob Lowe is in this one too!!! boy did that film of him and
	his 16 year old "friends" help his career along!!!! ;^)
797.6It made me laughWMOIS::LYONS_SMon Apr 03 1995 15:4616
    
    
    Obviously this is a "no-brainer" movie like Dumb and Dumber but it
    definately is good for a laugh.  I'm not usually one to rush out and
    see this type of movie but my husband and a friend of ours love this
    type.  Hence I have seen Dumb and Dumber and Tommy Boy.  All in all, I
    thought Tommy Boy was funnier than Dumb and Dumber.  Maybe funnier
    isn't the right term, but I thought it moved along better than D&D. 
    There didn't seem to be as many "lapses" between funnies.
    
    I was surprised to see Rob Lowe in this.  He was pretty pathetic IMO.
    
    It was good for a few laughs and I didn't pay full price (Used discount
    tickets).
    
    
797.7IT ISN'T THAT BADHOTLNE::FWATSONSun Apr 30 1995 20:495
    IF CHRIS FARELY IS THE LEAST FUNNY PERSON IN THE WORLD TO YOU THEN A
    SENSE OF HUMOR ON YOUR PART IS IN ORDER. I RELIZE THAT THIS MOVIE HAS
    NO INTENSE THINKING INVOLVED TO WATCH IT BUT ON A FUNNY SCALE IT DOES
    PRETTY WELL. DON'T KNOCK IT BEFORE YOU TRY IT.........BYE THE WAY MAJOR
    PAINE WAS PRETTY GOOD.

I saw Tommy Boy when it first came out.  It's a comedy.  I thought it
was hallarious. What more could I ask of a comedy?

Well, there was actually a story line that was believable and made
sense.

And Brian Dennehy(SP?) played a major part in the first 1/3 or so
of the movie.  I can only think of a couple of people who have the
screen presence of Dennehy.  I think he and the movie are excellent.

    Saw this movie on video last night.  It was okay, definitely not 
    one I would have paid to see in the theatre.  I was appalled at how
    terrible Bo Derek looked.  She looks like she's probably an anorexic.
    
     She'll only be 40 years old (as of Nov. 20th, 1996), but she looks 
    a lot older.  When they first showed her in the pool and she starts
    walking out of the water, she looked like a skeleton. Looks to me like
    she's starving herself to try to live up to expectations from her 
    earlier movies.

    re - 1 and  - 2
    
    So I guess she's withered away to a "5" instead of a "10"? :))
