This movie is quite possibly one of the worst films of the year. I am a HUGE Farley fan (and I like Perry's Chandler on Friends) but this movie was simply awful. I had heard it was bad but I wanted to see what Farley's final performance was really like.
The comedy is lame and falls flat 99% of the time. The funniest scene is where a diligent Farley battles a territorial eagle for its egg. Other than that, nothing is memorable. Even SCTV veteran Eugene Levy is wasted in his silly role of a French-Canadian translator.
Almost Heroes reminds me of John Candy's final film, Wagons East, an equally dreadful movie that unfortunately did not capture the comedian's true legacy. If Farley could have survived to redeem himself from this disaster with another film, it would have made a true fan like myself much happier.
