	Heroes
		Folks felt their hero had to be protected from modern pretenders - just as some folks who idolize Elvis Presley want to protect him from having died.
		The climax to her heroic life came after her capture and trial, when she courageously rejected an earlier-coerced confession and defiantly dressed in her typical man's garb.
		I believe that element is nobility, the nobility of the lonely decision by a fragile human to take the responsibility for doing what has to be done for the welfare or dignity of another being or in defense of a heartfelt principle.

		I can almost see why director Christopher Guest would want to go for mass appeal with a dumb Chris Farley movie after tackling better but less commercial comedy in Waiting for Guffman.
		I can almost wonder why the This Is Spinal Tap vet doesn't apprehend the difference between "clever" and "stupid" in this completely stupid tale of two explorers (played by Farley and Friends' Matthew Perry) in a race with Lewis and Clark to reach the Pacific Ocean.
		I can almost understand why they keep putting members of the Friends cast in movies that are always sure disasters.

	CNN - Review: 'Almost Heroes' is almost worthless - June 1, 1998
		But if you think what I do is easy, you oughta sit down and try to write a review of a movie like "Almost Heroes," which stars the late, alarmingly fat Chris Farley, and Matthew Perry of "Friends" fame.
		Trying too hard to get to the bottom of it is more ridiculous than "enjoying" it without question.
		Lewis and Clark had a two-week headstart, so our "almost heroes" have to figure out how to make up for lost time.

		In Almost Heroes, Farley, playing a scruffy mountain guide named Bartholomew Hunt, does a fair amount of witless slapstick.
		Watching Almost Heroes becomes incredibly sad when you recall that Farley badly wanted to do more substantive work, like a biopic of Fatty Arbuckle.
		Guest is on autopilot here, halfheartedly staging the crude jokes, and I began to wonder whether it was Farley who dragged his directors down all along.

		The talent involved in Almost Heroes--director Christopher Guest, costars Matthew Perry and the late Chris Farley, supporting actors Eugene Levy, Kevin Dunn, and Harry Shearer--must have come to the project with high hopes.
		The story of a pair of bumbling explorers running a shadow expedition to the famed Lewis and Clark journey must have seemed like the kind of premise that imagination and improvisation could enliven on the set (especially since the script by Mark Nutter, Tom Wolfe III, and Boyd Hale offers little to count on).
		By the end of Almost Heroes, you can almost feel the exhaustion of the cast and crew, as they yearn to wrap for the day and get back to drinking up their per diem.

	deseretnews.com - Movie review: Almost Heroes \| Deseret Morning News Web edition
		Given his reputation for making almost nothing but dumbbell, Z-grade comedies, it would have been a lovely gesture to say something nice about late comedian Chris Farley's final starring role, in the movie "Almost Heroes."
		Actually, "Almost Heroes" resembles nothing so much as another similarly themed comedy, "Wagons East," the misfire that was the late John Candy's last movie — except that it makes the latter film seem funny by comparison.
		"Almost Heroes" is rated PG-13 for vulgar jokes and gags, violent fist-fights and pratfalls, profanity and brief male and female partial nudity.

	ToxicUniverse.com - Christopher Guest - 1998 - Almost Heroes Movies Review
		Remarkably, Almost Heroes took three writers to complete—all three, Mark Nutter, Tom Wolfe and Boyd Hale, a trio even less creative than any given bunch of junior-highers, quite proud of their quip about sheep dung.
		To call Almost Heroes a disappointment isn't entirely fair—there isn't enough material to start with to make any of this debauchery look promising.
		I realize Perry and Farley are not known for their method acting, and a great portion of their failure (and every other failure in the film) is due to the screenwriting, but Almost Heroes manages to be a buddy film without so much as likable characters.

		Whenever a major studio doesn't screen a movie for the press, that's usually a clear-cut sign that it's probably not going to be any good.
		That, coupled with the appearance of a cast member from the TV show "Friends" (statistically proven to almost always meaning a death sentence for box office potential) spells certain doom for any new release and "Almost Heroes" is a textbook example of that.
		Unfortunately, we'll never know if Farley might have become a better comedic actor, and it's a sad state of affairs that this was his last chance.

	Review: Almost Heroes (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		There's a kind of desperation in the movie's approach to humor that reveals the film makers' uncertainty about how entertaining the material is; the manic style betrays itself as a last-ditch attempt to hide the flaws of a failed script.
		The premise doesn't sound especially amusing to begin with - Almost Heroes tells the tale of two explorers, the effeminate Leslie Edwards (Matthew Perry) and the uncouth Bartholomew Hunt (Chris Farley), who are racing Lewis and Clark on the trip to the American Northwest.
		Farley fans who see this film as a way to say goodbye should be commended for their loyalty, since it takes real stamina to stay seated for the full running length of this cinematic torture session.

		He and his character are in complete contrast to the likes of Chris Farley, who, similar to most other movies he has been in, gets laughs from just acting stupid and pulling out his hair.
		As is the case with most movies of this kind, the comedy begins to dwindle towards the end, but there is one extremely funny scene as Farley is moving down the cliff that erases all that.
		The rest of the movie is really funny as well, and Almost Heroes is a good comedy to watch, as long as you don't mind slapstick.

	FilmQuips -- ALMOST HEROES (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		The passing of Chris Farley is indeed a tragedy, not only because we have lost such an energetic, no-holds-barred comedian, but also because his death (and, to an extent, his life) was so similar to that of his idol, John Belushi, that it was almost a self-mockery.
		Farley may not have expected this to be his last appearance, and indeed I have read that he had hoped to play drama someday, but in Almost Heroes, director Christopher Guest got the best of him.
		There is no escaping that Farley was funny at almost everything he did; much like Jim Carrey, his energy is so pervasive that if you gave him a phone book to read, he could make you laugh.

	Kinnopio's Movie Reviews - Almost Heroes (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		Walking out of this movie, a friend mentioned to me that, although not every comedy is great, they all have their 'moments.' This needed no explanation, for the law of averages says that as long as you keep trying, you're bound to succeed sometime.
		What's unfortunate, though, is that the genuinely comical setups in Almost Heroes are so far and few between that all of the remaing humor - as crass, crude, and obtrusive as possible - makes the movie completely not worth the money.
		The foremost scapegoat for every failed comedy is the screenwriter, or in this case the team of three responsible for this cinematic atrocity.
