I'm not a huge fan of David Spade. I think he's funny sometimes but I wouldn't kick myself if I missed an episode of Just Shoot Me. I felt the same about Chris Farley. But the two of them together in this movie (as well as in Black Sheep) were very funny. Farley is very convincing as a dumb guy, and Spade's wit goes well with it. To put it simply, the actors played themselves in the movie. Farley plays a man who has to take over his father's company after his death. And when was the last movie you saw where the main plot of the movie was to sell brake pads? This movie held the now classic Farley "You're drivin' down the road" speech, and hearing it never gets old. Neither do the entire car scenes (The singing, the deer and the gas station). The love interest, played by Julie Warner, interested me as well. Wink wink. However, every movie has the part that was a little too much, and this was probably the "10" reference to actress Bo Derek. But the movie had great dialogue, and that's what it comes down to when making a great comedy.
