Synopsis

When dignified Albert Donnelly runs for Governor, his team moves to keep his slow-witted and klutzy younger brother, Mike, out of the eye of the media. To baby-sit Mike, the campaign assigns sarcastic Steve, who gets the experience of a lifetime when he tries to take Mike out of town during the election.

Irishchatter To be honest, even though the film is based on politics, it's more entertaining to see Chris Farley still being the crazy legend that he was. The parts were from the house falling down to himself been lifted up by a television teleporter were absolutely hilarious. I honestly wish this film wasn't the last of David Spade and Chris Farley's partnership. They were absolutely great together. I know they performed a lot on Saturday Night Live but in the movie world, they shouldve got another chance to team up again. It was unfortunate that Farley died so young all because of Hollywood.You know, I don't think this film should be based on politics, it should be based on Chris Farley because really, it was always to do with him. I have to say, thank Christ for that!
JulietteChico Not enough character development on Spade's character; would have wanted to know more about why he's doing it. Not much info on his relationship with Al Donnelly; e.g.: how good was he at his job, and why Donnelly was so quick to let him have the job with Mike. Lack of time, I guess, but I would have wanted to know more.Farley was definitely the star of the movie, which meant I had to rewind to catch the funnier moments with Spade, if the two were in the same shot. Couldn't help but think Farley wasn't all that fat in this movie, for all the fat jokes.Error alert: almost immediately after Mike falls on Steve in the bunk bed scene, the bed is magically in one piece.
qfanatiq You need to take this film at face value. It is not trying to be clever. It is simply out and out slap stick routine stretched out through decently scripted film.This films simple premise is to make you laugh. It certainly made me laugh. The over the top jokes, scenarios and pain really brought this to life as a silly belly laughfest.Nice light hearted comedy offering a laugh to all ages. I think a no brainer comedy is a good thing to lift spirits and raise a smile.I cant imagine anyone not finding this film funny in one way or another. If you like the comedy style of Jim Carey and movement of Lee Evans or Rowan Atkinson then I recommend you give this a go.Enjoy
ccthemovieman-1 If you're going to be crude, and-or outrageous, you better be funny.I know the guy's dead but I'm sorry: I don't what the attraction ever was for actor Chris Farley. He and the movies he was in, generally speaking, were trash, I mean absolute garbage. He was a huge, slobby guy and not funny. You can be a big slob and still be a real likable actor, like John Candy. But, this guy was no John Candy. David Spade, his comedic partner in this film, isn't exactly the Bob Hope of comedians for this age, either.This is a typically crude PG-13 comedy of today that does have it's funny moments but overall is low class. In this film, believe me, most of the skits were not funny and they are the usual sex jokes. Hollywood is obsessed with sex in its comedy movies. Hey, I can laugh at dumb humor with the best of 'em, and I'll laugh at good sex joke, too, but I couldn't find that many good sketches in here. That's the film really is, one sketch after another featuring Farley and/or Spade. This guys did better in "Tommy Boy," but not much better. It's these kind of films that give today's comedy films a bad name.
