Black Sheep

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.

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!

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.

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.

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.
