great
this movie was the best it was a great "follow-up" to Tommy Boy even though both movies had nothing to do w/ each other, had not the same story line or resemblance, not the same characters,etc. Black Sheep was great, but had kinda cheesy acting by David Spade especially when he was on that huge rock and he was trying to get a signal....that was great and hilarious, but like when he fell he made a sound thats not...right sorta i don't know. The movie was great and i know all of u have to agree that the cabin scene was the most memorable! It was great when the hail started and then the roof collapsed and then the top bunk fell and i can go on and on and really movies like these makes Chris Farley very missed by his true Black Shhep, SNL, Tommy Boy, etc. films!!!
Great Humor and Fun!!
Very well done. I enjoyed this movie a lot. Some parts could have been done better but overall I enjoyed it and enjoy watching it anytime I can. Must see for all of those that can just lay back and have fun.
It's kind of easy when you uh... you uh... NEVER MOVE YOUR BACK ROW!! EVER!! GOD! COME ON!
Black Sheep is a comedy starring the late Chris Farley and David Spade. Farely and Spade make their return back on their follow up to Tommy Boy. As much as I do enjoy both films, I would say I enjoy this one a little more. The movie truly screams 90s all over. It centers around Mike Donnelly (Chris Farely) and his brother Al's (Tim Matheson) campaign aid Steve Dodds (David Spade) as AL is trying to win the nomination for Govenor. Mike means well as he tries to help his brother, but through various unfortunate events it seems to hurt more than help. Eventually they are able to start getting on the right track and get the help of none other than Drake Sabitch (Garey Busey)
So grab your signs, make your way to the polls and vote for AL Donnelly!

Lame, to put it mildly, but bearable.
There are many words to describe "Black Sheep", and most of them begin with "un" - as in unsophisticated, uninspired, unoriginal. Still, it has some scattershot laughs. Gary Busey, for example, is brilliantly cast as a paranoid Vietnam veteran and comes through with the funniest performance by far. Chris Farley has barely one or two mildly funny moments in the entire film, but he does achieve some touching ones, and his honest efforts to amuse his audience in any way he can at least earn your respect.

Chris Farley falling over alot.
Reviews of this film were less than favourable but since I enjoyed the Farley/Spade partnership so much in Tommy Boy I thought I would check this one out as well.
Farley does alot of falling over and generally self abuse in this one, for instance when he tumbles down a mountain side and then gets up and says "What was that all about?".
The bit where the bunk bed collapses on top of Spade during the hail storm and the "Power to the People" speech at the rock concert are hilarious.
Most viewed this film as inane and childish - one reviewer I distinctly remember said that he would rather have Des O'Connor sing him the phone book than watch this again - but I found myself laughing many times.

Did you know
- TriviaFred Wolf, who did punch-up work on Tommy Boy (1995), claimed the studio told him to "deliver a finished script by midnight on Sunday, the last day Chris was contractually allowed to get out of the movie. If I didn't have a finished script, any finished script, they were going to sue me." Wolf wrote 45 pages in a weekend, and dropped the script off at Paramount 15 minutes before his deadline.
- GoofsWhen Steve and Mike are playing checkers, Steve takes 1/2 of a double jump the second half of which would have resulted in a king. The rules of checkers would have required him to finish the double jump.
