Starring Chris Farley and David Spade, "Black Sheep" is yet another SNL-like comedy produced by creator Lorne Michaels. The movie starts with Mike Donnelly, portrayed by Chris Farley, whose brother is running for governor of Washington, but it turns out that his crazy shenanigans is ruining the campaign. So his brother sends out his personal assistant, portrayed by David Spade, to help keep Mike under control before the big campaign. "Black Sheep" is not a sequel to "Tommy Boy", even though they are both produced by Lorne Michaels, and they both have a special SNL quality to it, and the duo of Chris Farley and David Spade are back, only they are in different roles this time. This movie does have the same formula, but even if it's funny and enjoying, this is not as good as it's previous competition. It was glad to see Farley and Spade back on screen together after they previously worked with each other on "Tommy Boy". They are still wacky and funny like always, and it was really nice to see these two maniacs on screen. But neither one of them brings a unique or really good performance. But I would rather like to see these guys bullying each other, and bond with one quick one-liner after another, like in "Tommy Boy". But they don't accomplish that this time. I did laugh out loud at times, but it was just until later in the movie where almost everything becomes less funny. But let's not forget that Gary Busey, with two horrible-looking buck front teeth, makes an appearance in this movie, and it's just flat-out-weird. "Black Sheep" may be considered as one of the 90s worst movies to others. But I knew what I wanted to see, and I enjoyed another SNL Farley-Spade duo motion picture. "Black Sheep", in my review, "completely untraditional, but somewhat hilarious".

'Black Sheep' is a decent comedy from the 1990's, that offers laughter here and there. But, the main reason why I really enjoyed this film was - The Great Chris Farley. In the lead role, the late legend delivers a lovable performance, that only goes onto to say, what a talent he was!'Black Sheep' Synopsis: A gubernatorial candidate hires a wormy special assistant whose only job is to make sure the candidate's well-meaning but incompetent brother doesn't ruin the election.Fred Wolf's Screenplay is funny in parts. However, the writing could've been tighter & more cohesive. Penelope Spheeris Directs this Light-Hearted Comedy, ably. Cinematography, Editing & Art Design, are ordinary. Performance-Wise: It's Farley all the way. He delivers, as mentioned, a lovable performance. Also, he suits the role perfectly. David Spade contributes nicely in some sequences. Tim Matheson is perfect. Christine Ebersole is fair. Gary Busey & Grant Heslov are as usual. On the whole, 'Black Sheep' is a decent comedy, with Farley ruling the show.

I have been reading some of the comments about the movie "Black Sheep" that people have put up, praising this movie and saying that its funny and Good for civics classes and after careful deliberation I am forced to the conclusion to ask anyone that thinks along these lines, as delicately and dispasionately as possible....You can not be serious. Black Sheep was one of the worst so-called comedies I have ever had the misfortune of witnessing! Let me set you guys straight. Nothing, Repeat, NOTHING funny came out of this movie. The jokes were stale as two week old bread, the directing was uneven and cockeyed, the writing was painfully inept, and the performances, if you can call them that, were a complete waste of time. David Spade is dull and uninteresting as the campaign manager assistant, or whatever he was, to the point were he just seems to standing around in a stupor of some kind. Tim Matheson and The rest of the cast bring absolutely nothing to the table. However, I have saved the Worst for last, Chris Farley. Oh..My...GAAAWWWDD!!!! His acting, If you can call it that, is so over-the-top, overdone, overwrought, overacted, overweight, that it boggles the mind. Now, I now Farley whole shtick on SNL and in his movies his his wild, boisterous personality and to be fair, It worked, to a certain degree in his other movies like "Tommy Boy". However, Tommy Boy, was Oscar worthy material compared to this Craptacular eye-sore of a movie. Here he is not funny at all, he is not even acting bad enough to make fun of! It gets real old real fast and you start to get more and more angry at his ridiculous outbursts.One final observation, There was a point in the movie where they go up to a cabin in the woods were presumably, Comedic Wackieness will ensue, It doesn't. In fact, I actually wondered if the writers had a brief moment of clarity and realized the disaster they were creating and went on strike. So the director and actors tried to improvise around the cabin scenario. In any event, The point in the movie showed, the utter desperation these performers must have been feeling. I say they new what they were doing, but either they didn't know how to salvage it or they just didn't care. Shame on all of them.

While many critics did not like the comedy duo of Chris Farley and David Spade I thought those guys were funny and while 1995's "Tommy Boy" was panned miserably by critics I thought that film was hilarious. Since that film did well at the box office director Penelope Spheeris who made the hilarious "Wayne's World", lost her directing skills a little bit with "The Beverly Hillbillies", and improved once again with a 90's version of "The Little Rascals" thought it would be a good idea to re-team the comedy duo for another film that would be released almost a year after "Tommy Boy". Boy did she make a HUGE mistake. This film makes "The Beverly Hillbillies" look like "Citizen Kane"! The story of how I got to watch "Black Sheep" was after I saw "Tommy Boy" and loved it I took a trip to Blockbuster and picked this up. I thought it would be hilarious the storyline seemed funny but there was not one part in this film I laughed at. If you don't know even Gene Siskel before he died said this was the only film he ever walked out on in a theater since "Million Dollar Duck" in 1971 which forced Roger Ebert to say "boy Gene I envy you". So do I Mr. Siskel and I typically listen to audiences not critics. But I should have listened to you in this case. I even turned this off immediately and turned it back to Blockbuster because it sucked so much. An embarrassing waste of talent. If you need something to watch with Farley try his next film after this called "Beverly Hills Ninja" it is hilarious. If you under any circumstances see "Black Sheep" I will never recommend a good film to you again.
