I Am Chris Farley hits theaters today. It’s the third documentary this summer highlighting the career of a legendary entertainer whose end came too soon. In the first two, we see the downward spiral of Kurt Cobain and Amy Winehouse and how their addictions ultimately killed them. But I Am Chris Farley is lighthearted and focuses more on Chris Farley’s upbringing, family life and friendships.
The documentary premiered Wednesday in Hollywood and there wasn’t a dry eye in the house—mostly tears from laughing so hard—but there were many bittersweet moments, too.
Chris died on December 18, 1997 at the age of 33 of a drug overdose.
