Tommy Boy

Day 24 - 1/24/09 - Movie #25

BEFORE: Racked up an extra movie while at the office today. One of Michele's favorites, I think. I now get some of her joke references, like saying "Fat Guy in a Little Coat!"

THE PLOT: An incompetent, immature, and dimwitted heir to an auto parts factory must save the business to keep it out of the hands of his new, con-artist relatives.

AFTER: A little heavy on the slapstick for my tastes, but it was still a comedy with heart. Chris Farley was capable of more than just acting like an ass. Solid performances from Brian Dennehy and Dan Aykroyd as well.

RATING: 5 out of 10 brake pads
