Thus, highlighting the positive impact that the film’s quotes and humor can have on viewers.

Tommy Boy is a 1995 American cult classic adventure comedy film directed and starring former Saturday Night Live castmates and close friends Chris Farley and David Spade.

The film tells the story of Tommy Callahan, a socially and emotionally immature man.

He learns lessons about friendship, self-worth, and business as he tries to resurrect the family company after the death of his father.

The film received mixed reviews from critics, but clearly, the fans loved it as the movie grossed $32.7 million.

There are also some self-deprecating and cringeworthy Tommy Boy quotes about his weight and intelligence.

His weight and lack of knowledge are a central theme in the film, but so is his growth and development as the film progresses.

To stop his new corrupt “stepmom” Beverly and “stepbrother” Paul from selling the company to rival Zalinsky, Richard and Tommy embark on a quest to secure the sales the company needs.

However, Paul sabotages them at every turn.

The pair try to gain access to the Zalinsky board room but are denied.

When Michelle arrives with Paul and Beverly’s police records, Tommy comes up with a plan.

He pretends to be a suicide bomber (using road flares) and attracts a live television news crew.

The unlikely trio of heroes forces their way into the boardroom.

Callahan workers watch the drama unfold on TV.

The workers watch on TV as Zalinsky signs Tommy’s purchase order for 500,000 brake pads.

Zalinsky scoffs at them, claiming the purchase order is moot because he will soon own Callahan Auto.

However, the police records confirm that Beverly and Paul are legally married, which makes her marriage to Big Tom null and void.

Controlling shares transfer to Tommy, who does not wish to sell the company, and calls in Zalinksy’s purchase order, saving the company from financial ruin.
