Boyd Banks, Bruce McGill, Chris Farley

Chris Farley plays the disaster-prone brother of a gubernatorial candidate in Washington State. Though he is well meaning, the havoc he creates on the campaign trail is drawing press attention, so a s...( read more  read more... )notty aide (David Spade) to the politician is dispatched to keep the big lug under control. Spade's character initially insults his charge as often as possible, but over time, the two bond and end up becoming a part of the final election push. Farley and Spade have some very funny moments, but overall the film feels rushed and poorly planned. Constant changes in character and script happen recklessly and randomly so that nothing ever really makes sense; the film keeps changing the rules by which it plays. --Tom Keogh

    Comedy lost a future great one in Chris Farley. He had such energy and mastered physical comedy. The film itself is, along with Tommy Boy, one of his best.

    A classic Chris Farley and David Spade film. More of the same type of humour and phyiscal comedy we get from a typical Spade and Farley movie. The film is full of dumb yet funny lines and characters. Farley also seems to make his physical comedy work on the big screen. If you enj...( read more)oyed Tommy Boy then you should enjoy this as well.
