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.
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.

Hmm, I remember watching this movie a while back...and I must say it is STILL one of the few movies I ever just refused to finish...I looked at the clock and there was half an hour left and I was not gonna make it...think I stopped it when they were near some trailer...I can remember ONE good scene in it..where Farley says "Kill Whitey!!"..that was funny..but was this movie up to Tommy Boy standards?? Oh god no...not even CLOSE...and you thought Tommy Boy had little plot?? Look at THIS movie, it doesn't even have one, I refuse to believe it does...I was just shaking my head the whole time, because I had actually heard this movie was FUNNY...imagine my surprise...the whole fiasco in the cabin?? Not amusing...more or less stupid...I'll go with the more option there...anyways if anybody out there hasn't seen this yet...save yourself an hour and a half and don't bother.
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!!!
Anyone who wouldn't sit down and watch this again for kicks with someone else is simply pressed for time. I'll admit it is pretty cheesy, but Chris Farley is one of the greatest. You get to see his act develop in this film because I'm pretty sure this was an early one in his career. The stage act was hilarious and so was the security guard bit. The plot of the movie isn't fantastic but since its a comedy its easy to give that a pass. The ending is at the very least unpredictable. I wont spoil anything, but the end is an action packed head scratcher. I'm done with this review and if you're reading this far into my review you've probably already wasted a whole 3 minutes of your life. So, might as well waste another 1 hour and 27 on this "jumpy" comedy.

- TriviaChris Farley uses the same football play with the kids at the youth center - "32 belly option" - as he did when he and Rob Lowe went cow-tipping in Tommy Boy (1995).
- 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.
