most lorne michaels films seem to fail because theyre essentially just extended versions of skits that barely managed to make people laugh in five minute segments. tommy boy is a character right from snl  a big fat lovable (in their opinion) goof who doesn not know anything. david spade gets the thankless overwhelmed everyman role. he paired with the annoying overweight slob and they endure miserable misfortunes as they travel cross country to save daddy business. the plot and for starters and is really faulty. the whole premise  daddy dies and rich stupid son has to save the family biz  can be traced back to just about any movie you want. like any snl style film it is reduced to a simple motivation  empty and shallow while just a reason to see a fat guy and a thin guy be funny together. the movie biggest influence is the 1987 comedy classic planes and trains and automobiles. that movie is great because the plot isn not stale and recycled. it basic and yeah  a guy traveling home for thanksgiving gets stuck with a slob. but it real and dammit. it makes all the difference. the characters are real and the situations are far more real. tommy boy is pure slapstick and its ridiculous situations undermine the characters  we feel nothing for them and and we do not care about what happening on screen. pta walked the careful line between outrageous and utterly believable and relate able  tommy boy is simply absurd and with jokes like a simple deer in the headlights turning into a crash turning into a struggle with a dead deer that really isn not dead and then awakens and wrecks their car. the whole wrecked car thing is stolen completely from pta and it eerie how much stuff in this film actually does resemble the steve martin or john candy movie. farley is simply way too obnoxious to find likable  i have never enjoyed watching him in any movies and this hasn not changed my mind. spade given very little to do and serving as the movie most thankless character. dan aykroyd is wasted as the evil baddie who plans to destroy daddy business. the ending is a joke and and not in a har har funny way. more like a oh god are they serious. way. some people dig it and that cool. but i just can not get into it and nor do i appreciate all the stuff it borrows from  not just counting pt and a  without any credit whatsoever.
