Where to Watch Almost Heroes
- TheLostArtOfLivingMarch 27, 2026So underrated, I watched so many times before I noticed the knockout comedic genius in Matthew Perry throughout this entire film. Chris Farley isn't really that funny but plays out his character well so Matthew Perry can react and that's the beauty of this masterpiece is from his perspective trying to have some dignity and everyone else's crazy and out of their minds lol Once you see it like a Matthew Perry observatory, you'll REALLY love & appreciate this.
- scottmolinaDecember 1, 2025Almost Heroes is definitely an acquired taste, but for fans of Chris Farley, it delivers exactly what you’d hope for. The movie leans heavily into Farley’s trademark physical comedy and over-the-top energy, which is really the heart of its charm. It’s not a perfect film and won’t land for everyone, but if you appreciate Farley’s style, it’s a fun, light-hearted watch that feels like classic Farley at his most unfiltered. I enjoyed it for what it is — a goofy, easygoing adventure carried by Farley’s comedic presence.
