Tommy Boy

Tommy Boy, as a quintessential comedy, primarily elicits strong feelings of Humor, Joy, and Happiness through its slapstick gags, witty dialogue, and the endearing dynamic between Tommy and Richard. The 'adventure' aspect of their road trip to save the factory contributes to Anticipation and Excitement as viewers wonder what comedic mishap or sales challenge they'll face next. Underlying the comedy are moments of Empathy for Tommy's earnest efforts, Hope for the factory's survival, and ultimately Relief and Satisfaction as the duo works towards a successful resolution. While Big Tom's death introduces a brief touch of Sadness, the film quickly reverts to its lighthearted, feel-good core.
