Tommy Boy, made in 1995, is one of my favorite movies. Although Chris Farley is a complete idiot in the movie, that is why I love it so much.
After taking seven years to graduate, Tommy Callahan Jr. (Farley) takes a job in his fathers auto parts factory. Tommy is then introduced to a new product that is going to be sold in their factory which is brake pads. Not only is he introduced to a new part, he is also introduced to his new step mom and her son. When his father dies after Tommy is home from college, the factory is in trouble of being shut down unless they sell a crazy amount of brake pads.
The movie follows the silly life of Tommy who is constantly pulling pranks and his whole life is a charade. Now he is the one who has to save the factory and in a short time. Tommy goes to weird extremes to save his dad's name and reputation.
This movie is definitely not a crowd pleaser for everyone. With that said, Chris Farley makes this movie. I love these kinds of movies and that is why it's making it on my list of Great Comedy Movies.
