Synopsis
I Am Chris Farley (2015) is a documentary about the beloved Saturday Night Live comic you can watch online on iFILM. It traces his road from Madison, Wisconsin, through Chicago's Second City stage, and on to the movies.
The people who knew him do the talking. Adam Sandler, Mike Myers, Dan Aykroyd, Christina Applegate and Bob Odenkirk share stories, and so do Farley's own brothers and mother. Behind hits like Tommy Boy and Black Sheep was a performer who threw his whole body at a joke. The film gathers his sharpest sketches and roles while staying honest about the cost of that fame.
Directors Brent Hodge and Derik Murray keep it warm but clear-eyed across 96 minutes, balancing the wild energy against a quieter fragility. It will land hardest for anyone raised on 90s American comedy who wants to understand what made Farley tick. Stream I Am Chris Farley (2015) online on iFILM.
