Such a humourous human being he brought us such comedies as Beverly Hills Ninja and then movies such as this. Almost Heroes is a nice light comedy that will make you giggle here and there a guilty pleasure you might say.... Full review

I always thought that this was a very funny movie. It makes fun of historical events. Leslie Edwards and Bartholomew Hunt and others try to beat Lewis and Clark to the Pacific. A lot of hilarious things happen, like Chris Farley... Full review

Matthew Perry and Chris Farley are extremely brilliant in this movie set in 1804. The facial expressions alone are worth it! (And a few of Chris' odd noises) This is probably one of the only movies where I am laughing out... Full review
Fahrley's biggest mistake

I was and still am a huge Fahrley fan, but this movie isn't very good. The fact that I can't stand Perry didn't help raise my opinion of the film, and the comedy just isn't that funny. I mean, there's some... Full review

Just seeing all of the A+ reviews for this piece of crap inspired me to write a review, this movie is far from art and Christopher Guest should be pimp slapped for making it, lucky for him his track record is... Full review

Chris Farley Final Farewell

Although this is Christ Farley's final hurrah, he made this movie extremely funny. If you like comedies, you MUST check this one out. Many people haven't heard of it, but it's worth renting, or even buying. If you haven't seen it,... Full review

Almost Heroes is a remarkable failure in every way. To call Almost Heroes a disappointment isn't entirely fairthere isn't enough material to start with to make any of this debauchery look promising. What is disappointing is Guest's lack of effort. ... Full Review

Austin Chronicle
Call me needlessly cruel if you like, but I believe the amount of time, money, and creative capital Hollywood is pouring into unapologetically wretched knockoffs like Almost Heroes justifies -- compels -- the full-nuclear critical response. And he can't even blame it all on the late Chris Farley -- though it's certainly hard to imagine many contexts in which the hyperthyroidal leviathan could've been expected to be a net plus. ...

San Francisco Chronicle
As knucklehead comedies go, ``Almost Heroes'' could be worse. Rooted in the scruffy, deadbeat characters making the trip with Farley and Perry, the movie is good for eight or nine belly laughs. What they needed was a better script. ... Full Review

James Berardinelli's Reviews
This is a dreadful motion picture -....There's a kind of desperation in the movie's approach to humor that reveals the film makers' uncertainty about how entertaining the material is;....the manic style betrays itself as a last-ditch attempt to hide the flaws of a failed script..... ...

Poor Chris Farley. As you probably know, he died of an overdose at the end of last year. Personally, that pissed me off more than the deaths of Robert Mitchum and James Stewart that same year, because anyway, they hadn't... ... Full Article
