All we're left with is a lame script and dithering direction, a lethal combination. Full Review

Rating: 2/5 -- There's a difference between a stupid movie and a movie populated by stupid characters, and director Christopher Guest shows that distinction with Almost Heroes. Full Review

This 1998 comedy set in the early American west isn't unwatchable, just bad. Full Review

The plot isn't merely stupid, but heartless; viewers aren't given a single reason to watch beyond the anticipation of seeing Farley fall off more scenery. Full Review

Rating: 0.5/4 -- Those hallmark Farley situations, when he bursts into apoplexy over some challenge or outrage, seem unconvincing here. As for Perry, he doesn't show nearly enough charm or ego to be of interest. Full Review

All of the guys on the expedition are dumb, and they say and do dumb things in dumb ways, dumbly. Full Review

Product Description:

Perry's proper pioneer gentleman and Farley's hapless, bumbling, boozy trail guide complement each other splendidly in this prairie caper/buddy picture/road movie. Circumstances throw our stars together for a rugged westward trek and hilarious hijinx ensue. One of Farley's last film roles before his death.

Description by Warner Home Video:

It was a time of heroes. Well, almost. They were hearty men in those days. Men who, like Bartholomew Hunt and Leslie Edwards, made sure that when adventure called, it got a wrong number.
Chris Farley and Matthew Perry team with director Christopher Guest (Waiting for Guffman, Best in Show) to venture into uncharted comedy territory. Where explorers Lewis and Clark go, Hunt (Farley) and Edwards (Perry) follow, hoping to overtake the famed expeditioners and be the more fiery trailblazers. In a land dotted with bears, native tribes, pioneer outposts and wandering conquistadors having a bad hair day, is there not also room for two more adventurers eager to make a name for themselves' Westward ho-ho-ho!
