What happens

Almost Heroes is a 1998 American adventure comedy Western film directed by Christopher Guest, narrated by Guest's friend and frequent collaborator Harry Shearer, and starring Chris Farley and Matthew Perry. The film marked Farley's last leading film role and was released posthumously, five months after his death in 1997. The film also marked Turner Pictures' final film after the company folded into Warner Bros. on November 14, 1996 (due to the Turner-Time Warner merger on October 10, 1996). Almost Heroes was produced by Turner Pictures and DiNovi Pictures and released by Warner Bros. on May 29, 1998. The film received negative reviews from critics and was a box office bomb, grossing $6.1 million against a $30 million budget. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
