5.0 out of 5 stars Really funny!, July 21, 2005

This review is from: Almost Heroes (DVD)

Sometimes you see a movie and months later you have a good laugh just recalling a scene. This is one of those movies.

Good-natured adventure and definitely silly, it makes you wish we still had Chris Farley around to entertain us.

Make some popcorn, settle in for a good time, and be ready to smile with Almost Heroes.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best Chris Farly film ever made!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!, May 2, 2002

This review is from: Almost Heroes [VHS] (VHS Tape)

I'll tell you guys and gals what, if you find Chris Farly even remotely funny (who doesn't) then you will love this movie. I will tell you one thing about it - watch it more than once. Once you begin to watch it 10+ times the smallest things become so funny. Not only is Chris Farly funny as hell but the rest of the cast is what makes the movie. There is a shy scrub named Bidwell, a funny old man named Jackson, a funny fat man named Higgins, and the best of all the scrubby dude named Heronumus Pratt, he is the best. Watch the scene where Matthew Perry is watching the girl take a bath in the lake and when Chris Farly comes up. He starts joking about Matthew Perry watching her alone and polishing the puter etc. but watch Matthew Perry's face, he cannot keep a straight face, all he does is laugh at Chris Farly for real. It is one of the most hilarious scenes in any movie. Like I said earlier its one of those movies that you should watch 5-6 times and then you will be addicted to it. This movie does not follow the same line of humor as Tommy Boy or Black Sheep. It has its own type of comedy and it is the best. I would classify this movie as my number ONE comedy of all time. Buy it and decide for yourself.

4.0 out of 5 stars So Stupid It's Funny, August 30, 2005

By 

Mr. Mister (Mauston, WI United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Almost Heroes (DVD)

Perhaps this is low brow moviemaking at its finest. Just picture a film about Lewis and Clark type explorers with lots of brainless juvenille humour and with a fun, adventurous spirit. Maybe not everyone's cup of tea, but if you can watch it in the right frame of mind you'll really laugh at some genuinely memorable scenes. Directed by comedy genius Christopher Guest and also Chris Farley's final film. What took so long for this movie to be released to DVD?
