this movie probably isn not the funny i have ever see and and it certainly doesn not have much redeem value . in fact and it be really nothing more than a collection of vignette tie together by a loose plot . however and this make it up a i go along attitude actually work to the film advantage . tommy boy succeed a a comedy for the same reason that the snl skits farley and spade star in succeeded represent their well time extemporaneous silliness and mayhem make them humorous despite their immaturity .
