Best movie ever!

A story that's too fascinating to pass by...

One of the film's great tricks is that, for a time, you think it will go down a rabbit hole of unrealistic glorification.

Chris Farley's last film, a great western adventure. I finished today, it was funny and full of laughs and the score is beautiful. Made me look up more on what the Lewis & Clark Expedition was all about. Because its the middle of August here, I like seeing summer movies with the weather I'm in, I don't know why. Anyways I wasn't sure how Chris Farley and Matthew Perry would hold up as a team compared to Chris being with David Spade. But actually, they did well, I like them along with Kevin Dunn and other actors. This was a funny and spirited movie, some parts I wouldn't have put in there like the ear scene. But if I had to pick a favorite scene, I'd say the egg part with Chris's character haha. Also the part where Chris's character Hunter has to climb a cliff and let's just say there are other ways to get down. Check this movie out yourself its worth the watch. And as always, RIP Chris Farley you are always missed!

I'm not saying that Chris Farley was crap in the movie, it just concentrated too much for Matthew Perry. I honestly thought Perry wasn't the best as the leading role. Maybe for a comedy television show series like 'Friends' but definitely not a western comedy film.I didn't really like his narrative accent or his accent, it sounded really dull and boring to hear. Why couldn't they get David Spade back for just once chance to be involved with Farley again?! I thought the men joining them were a joke because they shouldn't appear thick in the head. They should appear as brave men risking for their entire lives to be at sea. Didn't the film crew ever think of this?The movie may have been the worst Farley took a big risk with, but he was still a legend as always and that he still is remained on peace on this very day. RIP

OK, I'm an avid DVD watcher like probably so many of you all out there, 3 nights ago I was watching Tommy Boy, a marvelous piece of comedy film, that's both full of laughs and full of heart. After watching it I jumped on IMDb to get some info and ideas for my next movie. Looking through Chris Farley movie's I came across Almost Heroes, have seen most of Farley's (all the pre Happy Gilmore films with Sandler and Spade) I thought why not, and directed by Chris Guest, I love his mockumentary's like Spinal Tap and Mighty Wind I really thought it would be a combo that couldn't let me down. Yet sitting through this film really surprised me how you can have so many greats working on such a dull film. Perry is just shocking, and I don't know about you but is permanently type cast in my eye as Chandler from friends. I don't like him, I wont ever like him. But yet he isn't something to fear away from the movie because of. No he's just the icing on the cake to a pretty shonky movie all round. The script was dull, the jokes were slow, there was no real solid comedy timing used. Most of all I'm just shocked and amazed that Guest would allow something just so flat get made. I mean Farley is his usual standard, hes as good as the actors around him. You cant help that. But Guest has written some real clever comedy over the years. Some that has made me laugh so hard that I've had to pull my self back onto the chair and go, "Hey, Wha Happened?" The jokes used in this film must of been his leftovers. Its the only logical reason. The last Farley film, probably the one he could of done without.

Let me just say I am by no means a fan of Chris Farley. He's done a few good things, understood physical comedy and might have someday been the next big thing. But he's not, in retrospect, anything amazing. Everyone knows "Black Sheep" and "Tommy Boy" are the same movie, and all he really gave to this film was the same shtick of flapping his arms and grunting. Which is not my cup of tea. And Matthew Perry? Maybe he's just ingrained in my mind as Chandler Bing, but this role seemed so wrong.This is the story of two men who are trying to race Lewis and Clark to the Pacific Ocean in 1804. Although, this is only the background to a film about Perry trying to steal another man's wife and an ongoing battle against a Spaniard obsessed with his hair.The film is not really very funny (especially after you write off Farley) and seemed to me to be in a similar vein to "Cannibal the Musical", except being that Cannibal was infinitely funnier and relied on no name actors and no budget. So, thank you Hollywood for blowing millions on a film that was poorly made and not very special... I'm sure Farley wanted this to be his swan song.I have nothing really great to say about this film, but I don't want to keep tearing it a new one because I already know people stand against me on this. Well, they can have this movie and watch it until their DVD player starts smoking. I hope I never see this film ever again. (Although, I guess after recently seeing "The Ringer" I could have done worse.)
