What happens

Tommy Boy is a 1995 American buddy comedy film directed by Peter Segal, written by Bonnie and Terry Turner, produced by Lorne Michaels, and starring Saturday Night Live alumni and close friends Chris Farley and David Spade. The first of many films that Segal has filmed with former SNL castmates, it tells the story of a socially and emotionally immature man (Farley) who learns lessons about friendship and self-worth, following the sudden death of his industrialist father. Tommy Boy was released by Paramount Pictures on March 31, 1995. The film received mixed reviews from critics and grossed $32.7 million against a $20 million budget. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
