I Am Chris Farley is a documentary film that will tell the bittersweet story of one of the most innovative comedic actors who ever graced the stage, screen and television, before his untimely death from a drug overdose at the tender age of only 33. Immortalized for his uniquely bold, energetic, and in-your-face comedic style, Chris Farley's off the charts talent cemented his place as a key player in a movement that evolved and redefined the comedic genre. Although he was only in the spotlight for a short time, Chris nevertheless left an indelible mark on the entertainment industry through his groundbreaking work at The Second City, on Saturday Night Live and in several feature films and improv theaters across the country. The film will interview those who knew Chris intimately, including his siblings, Tom, John, Kevin and Barbara Farley as well as his close friends including the real Matt Foley! Other interviews include a broad array of contemporary performers from all over the entertainment spectrum who were inspired by the truly bigger than life character that was Chris Farley. Among those honoring Chris will be Farley's cast mates and friends from SNL and The Second City, his feature films and other projects, including Christina Applegate, Tom Arnold, Dan Aykroyd, Bo Derek, Pat Finn, Jon Lovitz, Lorne Michaels, Jay Mohr, Mike Myers, Bob Odenkirk, Bob Saget, Adam Sandler, Will Sasso, Molly Shannon, David Spade, Brian Stack and Fred Wolf. With the full cooperation and participation of the Farley family, I Am Chris Farley will chronicle Farley's meteoric rise to stardom, the prolific period when his flame burned as brightly as any young actor/comedian in Hollywood, and the sad and sudden end to a career that was going straight to the top. In addition to original interviews with those closest to Chris and those inspired by him, the film will showcase clips of Farley's most memorable characters and sketches from television and film, paired with iconic photographs, home movies, family snapshots and personal artifacts, to fully round out the story of this comedy legend.


Review :
I Am Chris Farley: A beautiful comedic light burnt out in his prime by the laughter he so loved to create!

Wow last reviewer we are a little bitter arnt we?
This fIlm follows the life and career of Legendary comedic actor Chris Farley told by the people that he knew and loved. Friends, family, and co workers all describe the gentle giant that was Farley. Yes his ups and downs are brought to light. His drug abuse and low self esteem is looked at. His untimely death at 33 at the same age and in the same way as his idol the equally talented and missed SNL co-alum John Belushi. All this and his genius explosive humor and incredibly kind heart are out on display. Farley wasn't a Hollywood addict. He wasn't flaunting his flaws or running out to make a career of his reality. He had genuine self esteem problems and through it all he just wanted to make other people laugh. A great kind man taken too soon by his own sad demons. A beautiful comedic light burnt out in his prime by the laughter he so loved to create

funny and a real shame he died the way he ...

Ok, but disappointing. It's mainly short clips of friends/celebrities saying that he was special, innocent, funny and a real shame he died the way he did. It does a decent job of career history and showing performance clips. However, no in-depth insight as why he developed self-image or addiction problems. No mention whatsoever of drug issues until the last 10 min of the documentary. Too many allusions to incidents that are not explained. For example, Mike Myers talks about a time where he tried to talk sense to Farley after some apparent bad incident, but no description of the incident is given. Also, a friend of Farley's says he remembers signs in high school of problems (presumably drugs) but no description given. It just seemed to lack serious substance.

Rushed and sanitized and a missed opportunity
The best way to illustrate my misgivings with "I Am Chris Farley" is to compare it to the excellent biography published in 2009. The book, an arrangement of recollections from Farley's friends, family and contemporaries, is essentially a documentary in written form. It even features many of the same participants, including Bob Odenkirk, David Spade, Mike Myers, Adam Sandler, Dan Akroyd, Lorne Michaels, Tom Arnold and Farley's siblings.

But where the book was an unflinching, objective examination of the beloved performer's undeniable talent, his tremendous warmth and the demons that killed him, the movie has much more of an agenda, and that agenda is to not upset you. The doc is roughly structured into three parts, each more rushed and kid-gloved than the one before. After an excellent opening section covering Farley's childhood and entrance into professional comedy (which includes rare Second City footage and excellent insight from Bob Odenkirk), the doc becomes...
