Not once did I see "Academy Award nominee" labeled on this film, but I was nevertheless amused at the SNL actors' performance as traveling salesmen.
After Tommy Callahan III (Farley) father (Brian Dennehy) checks out, he is the now the heir to the old man's nearly bankrupt auto-parts business, much to the chagrin of the more deserving and heir-apparent Richard Hayden (David Spade, in another sidekick role). But the elder Callahan's new bride/widow attempts to steal the company from her stepson which forces Spade and Farley to team up, sell the parts needed to save the business, and well, two SNL actors, what do you expect? They make for a brilliant combination, and although many of the scenes were silly at times, I found them funny which made for an enjoyable picture.

The courageous tale of a young boy diagnosed with a brain tumor and the fight to keep him alive through treatment, and what else, the get-well cards, hence the title. Sounds like sentimental, award-winning material, doesn't it? It does. But there are several holes which couldn't save this cheap picture show.
Catherine Oxenberg portraying the real-life Marion Shergold is just awful; her "emotion" was completely forced, the "accent" made me cringe, and it made me wonder if her authentic British counterparts jeered at her during filming. Aside from her god-awful performance, the storyline completely dragged--I fell asleep twice on my sofa--and regardless of what the millions of cards did for the terminally ill bugger, I was left empty and unsatisfied. This could have been much better.

I loved this show when it was on, so I bought the DVD when it finally came out. But what do you know? The geniuses at Fox canned the program in 2002 and aired recycled episodes held out by NFL broadcasts that were touted as "all-new," until the effective cancellation in August 2003.
It revolves around Philip J. Fry, a loser New York pizza-delivery boy who on New Year's Eve 1999, delivers a pizza to a cryogenics lab, mistakenly falls in a capsule, is frozen in time, and travels to the year 2999. We are now in "New New York" and shortly after he is unfrozen by lab assistants, meets the moderately sexy Taronga Leela, a cyclops who talks like a human-being, looks like one, but then again, she only has one giant eye. Right after, he encounters Bender, a smart-mouth cigar-smoking, beer-swilling robot with his signature catch-phrase "Bite my shiny metal ass!" Fry then discovers his great-great-great(30X) grand-nephew, the senile Professor Hubert Farnsworth, head of the Planet Express space-delivery program. He'll hire the trio and then we'll meet the others.
From there, it gets better, with the lobster-crab-octopus creature (Dr. Zoidberg), a Martian-Chinese girl (Amy Wong), and the brilliant Jamaican bureaucrat, (Hermes Conrad). (Fellow watchers, gotta love Zapp and Kif).
I loved the show for its far-out humor, futuristic concepts, and Matt Groening's alien language, but then-again, it's Fox.
