Movie Reviews of Almost Heroes
Movie Review: Farley's last bang of non-stop laughter!
Summary: 4 Stars
Almost Heroes is a crack-up comedy starring the late SNL castmember Chris Farley (Tommy Boy), Friends star Matthew Perry, Eugene Levy (American Pie), and Kevin Dunn (Stir Of Echoes).
This light-hearted funfest set in 18th century America follows a group of explorers led by Leslie Edwards, played by Perry, who is attempting to discover the west before Lewis and Clark get there. Along for the journey is an obese and short tempered Bartholomew Hunt, played hysterically by Farley, a gorgeous Native princess Shaquinna, played by Lisa Barbuscia, her nasty French hubby Guy Fontenot, played by Levy, and a group of imbeciles.
Almost Heroes was Chris Farley's last bang of non-stop laughter; he died only five months before the movie's theatrical release.

Movie Review: a very good farley comdey
Summary: 4 Stars
This movie came out in 1998 but due to some contract issues it was not put on DVD till 2005. I saw this movie about a year ago on WS laserdisc. This is the story of the qwest of hunt (farley) and edwards (perry). Their qwest is to beat lois and clark to the west coast. While on this qwest they come across many obstructions which result is some very funny moments. One moment I recall is when hunt has to retrive the egg of an eagle. Now all he has to do is get the egg. But he insted is atacked buy the eagle and eats the egg many times.its to bad farley passed away shortly after this movie as he could have done so much more.I give this movie a 4 out of 5 stars.Movie Review: One of Lisa B.'s best movies
Summary: 4 Stars
Lewis and Clark as it could have been. Shaquinna (Lisa Barbuscia) with Bartholomew Hunt and Leslie Edwards are challenged to beat Lewis and Clark to the Pacific. They face many challenges form bears, eagles and the mad conquistador, Hidalgo (Kevin Dunn.) Will they do so? And at what cost?
This movie consists of many comic scenes and slapstick sketches. The main theme is held together by Lisa, who plays the counter part of Sacagawea. She would not look bad on the golden dollar either.
Chris Farley: Reckless Laughter
Movie Review: Harmless broad comedy for fans
Summary: 4 Stars
Christopher Guest has been responsible for subtler comedy that works on a different level (Best in Show, A Mighty Wind, This is Spinal Tap), but manages a lesser effort here. I recall reading that there were a lot of problems on the set with actors not always being sober or timely, and that might have weakened the movie, but there are some real laughs to be found in this film.
On a separate note, I have glanced at the other reviews and cannot believe that people who can't spell or write a proper sentence would be so bold as to write lengthy reviews.
Movie Review: Perry and Farely make a good team
Summary: 4 Stars
This movie is funny. The acting may not be all that great, the story line might be a little boring, and it may not make all that much sense but where this movie lags chris farely and matt perry make it up for it. The movie is filled with scenes that will make you laugh. It's to bad theres little things that stop this from being a classic. For one the theres to many scense that just go to far. Second, there is some poor acting from some minor characters. Overall this movie is worth watching and i recommend buying it as you will want to watch it more than once.
