Here we have a lame script that rips off "Planes, Trains and Automobiles" with a vengeance, as well as dozens of other movies (the deer scene, shamelessly stolen from "The Great Race," actually makes me mad), a weak story, and shallow characters, that is gloriously saved by Chris Farley. This guy is just too damn funny, and I laugh every time I watch this movie. The relentless energy and physical comedy displayed by a man of his size seems to defy the laws of physics. It's a shame he died so soon, because I don't think it would have been too long before someone cast him in a good movie.Needless to say, anyone who labels this a comedy "classic" hasn't watched enough movies, but as a showcase for a gifted comedian who died way too early, it's fantastic.
