About Almost Heroes (PG-13)


Starring Chris Farley, Matthew Perry, Eugene Levy, Kevin Dunn and David Packer

Directed by Christopher Guest

The late Chris Farley stars in this road comedy - er, wagon trail comedy - about two explorers on a mission to beat Lewis and Clark to the Pacific. Farley plays Bartholomew Hunt, a musket-eer with a taste for the bottle. Matthew Perry is his partner, Leslie Edwards, a high-class guy looking for easy fame. Together they blaze their way across the country behind Lewis and Clark, who are totally unaware of the existence of these bumbling competitors. Also on the trail: Eugene Levy as a French explorer named Guy Fontenot, and Kevin Dunn as Hidalgo, a rough and tough conquistador. Waiting for Guffman's Christopher Guest directs. 92 minutes.
