Storyline
| Plot Summary |
After his beloved father (Brian Dennehy) dies, dimwitted Tommy Callahan (Chris Farley) inherits a near-bankrupt automobile parts factory in Sandusky, Ohio. His brand new stepmother, Beverly (Bo Derek), wants to cash out and close, but Tommy's sentimental attachment to his father's employees spurs him to make one last-ditch effort to find someone who will buy their products. With his father's tightly wound assistant, Richard (David Spade), in tow, Tommy hits the road to scare up some new clients. Written by FilmsNow |

Did You Know?
| Trivia | Rob Lowe played the supporting role of Tommy's stepbrother and is uncredited. The reason for this is because he wanted to be a "happy surprise" after the script shifted focus (the film was originally centered around the relationship between Tommy and Paul). Rob was playing tennis with Lorne Michaels, and Lorne told him that he was about to start "Tommy Boy" and that he was considering him to play Chris Farley's brother. He ended up taking the part as a favor for Lorne, since he was previously in Wayne's World (1992). See more » |
| Goofs | When Tommy bends the car door back into position at the gas station, it is visibly dented and crumpled along the edge. Immediately after, Richard goes to open the door, it falls to the ground, and is in pristine condition. See more » |

[saying it correctly]
Tommy: I can get a good look at a T-bone by sticking my head up a bull's ass, but I'd rather take a butcher's word for it. See more » |
