MYST POST #2Q-2: TOMMY BOY

Tommy Boy is a fantastic comedy that I can watch over and over again. Peter Segal (director) chose Chris Farley and David Spade as the leading actors. These two men fit perfectly for the roles of their characters The camera shots and angles were magnificent. Each one was differently connected to other parts of the film. The camera followed the main characters in the scenes and did a great job. The scene where Tommy and Richard are singing and driving and the front hood flies up out of nowhere portrays the camera shots well. The camera showed the scene from Tommy and the roads point of view. Tommy Boy demonstrates good character and how giving up is not the answer. It starts off sad with big Tom dying but quickly turns and settles the mood. If you aren't very big on comedy you should still go out and watch this movie. Tommy Boy also shows a lot of relationships like friendship and romance. Richard and Tommy hate each other but throughout the movie they begin to appreciate each others company. Richard thinks Tommy is dim-witted and boorish. Richards relationship with Tommy grows as they become very good friends. I watch this movie up to this day because I always get a laugh out of it. Chris Farley did a fantastic job as the main character. I really enjoy the scene where the deer wakes up in the car. You never see it coming but then BOOM! it happens. I like the way that the director and actors portrayed that scene. This movie made $32,679,899 in the box office. It was a success. I give this movie 4.75 stars out of 5. Go out and watch this movie. It will give you a good laugh and you will want to see it again.
