Premiering on Memorial Day, this intimate documentary is an engaging celebration of the life and career of a true comedy virtuoso. Featuring rare videos and interviews with family and friends, the 85-minute documentary explores Farley's upbringing, his time at iO and Second City, his movie career, and his time on SNL. The film is littered with amusing anecdotes from those who knew the comedian best. From his old college pal Pat Finn sharing what it was like to attend Marquette with Chris to the Farley brothers — Kevin, Tom, and John — fondly reminiscing about their brother, the film toggles between emotional extremes, engendering both laughs and tears.
The narrative is shaped by a variety of interviews from people who knew Chris from the Chicago improv scene (Brian Stack, Joel Murray, Holly Wortell), Saturday Night Live (John Goodman, Al Franken, Kevin Nealon, David Spade, Dan Aykroyd, Bob Odenkirk), and showbiz (Tom Arnold, Peter Segal). The end result is a touching eulogy that's perhaps best summarized, surprisingly, by Gary Busey.
"Life is a lesson and Chris Farley gave a good lesson in his life about what to do and what not to do."

Um, it's fine. Super tragic, more so than I think others. Spoiler alert

The reelz documentaries on Ghostbusters and National Lampoon are totally re-watchable.
