Editorial Reviews

It was a time of heroes. Well, almost. They were hearty men in those days. Men who, like Bartholomew Hunt and Leslie Edwards, made sure that when adventure called, it got a wrong number. Chris Farley and Matthew Perry team with director Christopher Guest (Waiting for Guffman, Best in Show) to venture into uncharted comedy territory. Where explorers Lewis and Clark go, Hunt (Farley) and Edwards (Perry) follow, hoping to overtake the famed expeditioners and be the more fiery trailblazers. In a land dotted with bears, native tribes, pioneer outposts and wandering conquistadors having a bad hair day, is there not also room for two more adventurers eager to make a name for themselves? Westward ho-ho-ho!

A SAD ENDING TO CHRIS FARLEY'S FILM CAREER! 1 1/2 STARS!

Reviewed by ! MR. KNOW IT ALL ;-b, 2010-01-09

I never got to see this film which is Farley's last film and now that I have, I wish I never did. Chris Farley who was a very funny man never reached his potential in films, even those who are not a fan of his "in your face" humor would have to admit to finding at least one thing he did hysterical. 'Tommy Boy' is by far his crowning achievement on film and probably the only film starring Farley worth owning. This film shows Chris bloated and worn out from years of excess and is kind of hard to watch. It's a sad way to cap off a career that gave so many people joy. This is purely for the Farley diehard fans only. I just couldn't bring myself to give this 1 star!

Sad that this was Chris Farley's last film

Not enough funny material, if it weren't for Chris this film wouldn't have been made I presume.
All his other films were definitely better. You are missed CHRIS!

Great Laughs

This movie delivers bundles of laughs. Those looking for an intellectual experience look elsewhere. Here you must do what the movies require of you. Suspend belief. Throw it away. Lock it in a closet. This is about two men who go on a journey, not only a physical one but an extroidanarily funny one. They make you believe that two bumbling fools and their fellow travelers race and overtake Lewis and Clark, the famous explorers, from the east to the west coast blazing a new path for adventurers in the new world. Hilarity ensues. A bear, Hidalgo and his merry men, oh, did I forget Hildalgo's hair? A taxedermist, and an eagle with a grudge.... You will laugh your eyes out. ENJOY!

Even though it was chris farley's last movie, and nothing substantial, it was still a great flick with plenty of laughs and full of a lot of actors. Great onscreen chemistry with him and mathew perry.
