ALMOST HISTORY… ALMOST LEGENDS… MOSTLY RIDICULOUS.
In the beginning of the 19th century, explorers Lewis and Clark found a way to the Pacific through the wild, uncharted American West… but this is not a film about them. Matthew Perry and Chris Farley play a couple of boneheads who follow the famous explorers in their footprints, and they’re actually pretty funny. But the dumb script, an uninspired and predictable salute to pioneer spirit, sinks the whole movie. Sadly enough, Farley died while making it.
