the primary plus for this movie be the combination of chris farley and david spade . this be the first film in which this comedy duo display their laurel and hardy esque brand of humor . farley obvious physical comedy skill be perfectly augment by spade sarcastic take on every situation they find themselves in . this movie stand apart from other comedy movie . tommy boy rank in with blue brother a a comedic work whose individual scene and bit stem from the plot and rather than serve to break up the storyline and give the film a disjointed feel a so many other comedic film do . thank to excellent direction by sagal and every scene be tight and immediately foreshadow or act out the story be tell . he be as much to credit for the film hilariousness a farley and spade be . the acting of dennehy and lowe and ackroyd and and many others ( see the gas station attendant 22 mile from davenport ) strengthen the film . the film warrant multiple viewing because there be many fine nuaces to the film that may be overshadow by farley or spade . i believe this film be very well make and be the funny movie i have ever see .
