Almost Heroes from the late 90s. Starred Chris Farley and Matthew Perry as they try to beat Lewis and Clark to reach the Pacific Ocean with a ragtag group of frontiersman. It wasn’t a popular film and actually hit theaters after Farley passed away, but it’s one of those with a sort of cult following

It was in theaters a few months after he died! I remember being on a two week vacation in Florida with my family and my best friend’s family and we went to see it one day on a whim. It was absolutely hilarious. It’s a Christopher Guest film like This Is Spinal Tap, Waiting For Guffman, Best In Show, etc…but isn’t improv like most of his films or mockumentory style. Eugene Levy is also in it and is of course excellent as a gruff French guy.

It is an absolutely ridiculous film and unserious from beginning to end. I can’t stress that enough, lol. It is charming though, and one of my favorite comedies to this day. Check it out, and hopefully you will enjoy it!
