Matthew Perry and Chris Farley star in the true history of the race to express the United States' Manifest Destiny to reach from sea to shining sea, which can finally he told. To the pantheon of American heroes, the two real conquerors of the American frontier can at last be added: Edwards and Hunt. This is their tale of two men who are Almost Heroes.In the late 18th century, veteran tracker and habitual drunkardBartholomew Hunt (Farley) and foppish blowhard Leslie Edwards (Perry)lead a bickering, brawling, bumbling crew of misfits and lowlifes across the unexplored territory from the Mississippi River to the PacificOcean. As they trek westward, Edwards and Hunt and company head down roaring rapids and over the Rockies on their way to historical oblivion.From comedian-director Christopher Guest comes a sidesplitting saga of how the West was lost: through the merry misadventures of misguided explorers.

Chris farley is the best actor in the world. He did so good in black sheep and tommy boy(2 really great movies that he starred in). I would get this movie if I were u.

This movie got really bad reviews, but critics are stupid. This was one of the funniest movies I have ever seen. The first time I saw it, I was laughing so hard that tears were streaming from my eyes and I was drooling uncontrollably because I could not close my mouth long enough to swallow. Granted, I do produce way too much saliva, but there have only been a handful of times that I've gotten to that point. There are so many lines that are just ridiculously hilarious! WATCH IT!

I love this movie! It's one of Chris Farley's best movies. So many funny and quotable stuff. I mean when Edward's teaches Hunt to read, just one of the many hilarious parts in the movie!
