Barry Del Sherman, Bokeem Woodbine, Chris Farley

It was a time of heroes. Well, almost. They were hearty men in those days. Men who, like Bartholomew Hunt and Leslie Edwards, made sure that when adventure called, it got a wrong number. Chris Farley ...( read more  read more... )and Matthew Perry team with director Christopher Guest (Waiting for Guffman, Best in Show) to venture into uncharted comedy territory. Where explorers Lewis and Clark go, Hunt (Farley) and Edwards (Perry) follow, hoping to overtake the famed expeditioners and be the more fiery trailblazers. In a land dotted with bears, native tribes, pioneer outposts and wandering conquistadors having a bad hair day, is there not also room for two more adventurers eager to make a name for themselves? Westward ho-ho-ho!

    Okay.
  • January 14, 2007
    Terribly unfunny comedy about two adventurers' travels to the American Pacific coast in 1804.

    kinda just trickled along with farley getting hurt to provide the laughs... some moments that were funny but just not enough overall. adding some female nudity would of helped with such a script!?

    Honestly i think this movie is classic
  • August 23, 2009
    I do love when Chris Farley gets into his body tourette like fits. Matthew Perry's look of confusion on Farley's behaviour has it's comedic moments. For the most part, nothing really going on here..
