- It was a time of heroes. Well, almost. They were hearty men in those days. Men who, like Bartholomew Hunt and Leslie Edwards, made sure that when adventure called, it got a wrong number. Chris Farley and Matthew Perry team with director Christopher Guest (Waiting for Guffman, Best in Show) to venture into uncharted comedy territory.

DVD Reviews of Almost Heroes
DVD Review: Almost Heroes: Wacky Characters and One-Liners
Summary: 4 Stars
This movie derives it's humor from a series of wacky frontier situations that are completely accepted as normal by everyone but Matthew Perry.
The cast of this movie is excellent, you'll recognize most of them from Christopher Guest's "Mockumentary" films, but also involved are some unknowns who really steal the show and support a shallow plot.
The film is full of memorable one-liners and one particularly funny monologue where a member of the group (Higgins) tells how he tricked his brother into eating sheep dung, then delights in revealing that he has no brother at all, it was HE himself, HE ate the sheep dung.
Another great performance is from Kevin Dunn as Hidalgo, a vain Spanish tyrant who tortures people that do not praise the beauty of his hair or "the light that shines from within".
And of course, Eugene Levy as the cowardly and incompetent French linguist Guy Fontenot, whose facial expressions revealed behind a giant mustache are absolutely hilarious.
The only problem with the movie is maybe too many main characters, as Jonah the man-servant and the Priest really don't serve any purpose or offer any laughs during the course of the film.
This movie was overshadowed by Chris Farley's unfortunate death and is really worth your time if your a fan of wacky, non-sensical comedy.
