Tommy Boy is a 1995 road comedy film directed by Peter Segal, written by Bonnie and Terry Turner, and starring former Saturday Night Live colleagues Chris Farley and David Spade. The film tells the story of a socially and emotionally immature man who learns lessons about friendship and self-worth following the sudden death of his industrialist father. The film did well commercially, but received mixed reviews from critics. After seven years, Thomas R. "Tommy" Callahan III barely graduates from Marquette University and returns home to Sandusky, Ohio. His proud father, industrialist and... widower Thomas "Big Tom" Callahan, Jr. , gives him an executive job at the family's auto parts plant, Callahan Auto. In addition to the new job and office, Big Tom reveals another set of surprises for his son: He plans to marry Beverly Barrish-Burns , a woman he had met at a fat farm, and her son Paul , will become Tommy's new stepbrother. But, during the wedding reception, Big Tom dies from a sudden heart attack.
