ALMOST HEROES (May 29). Film comedy used to be Cary Grant swapping highballs and epigrams with Irene Dunne. Now it's often un hommage au Three Stooges, starring Saturday Night Live alums. In this road farce the late Chris Farley pairs with Friends' Matthew Perry. You can watch him explode one last time...
