I call this the better Chris Farley movie made. I never cared much for any of Chris Farley's movies, but with a lot of thanks to David Spade's and Gary Busey's rolls in Black Sheep, the movie was truly one of their best movies made.I will admit that the whole movie has a lot of unbelievable moments especially in the beginning and ending scenes of the movie, but I will say that the Gary Busey/Drake Sabitch character had a very important roll in this movie, alongside David Spade, made Black Sheep rather entertaining, which seemed to make Black Sheep the best Chris Farley movie I've ever seen.

To be honest, even though the film is based on politics, it's more entertaining to see Chris Farley still being the crazy legend that he was. The parts were from the house falling down to himself been lifted up by a television teleporter were absolutely hilarious. I honestly wish this film wasn't the last of David Spade and Chris Farley's partnership. They were absolutely great together. I know they performed a lot on Saturday Night Live but in the movie world, they shouldve got another chance to team up again. It was unfortunate that Farley died so young all because of Hollywood.You know, I don't think this film should be based on politics, it should be based on Chris Farley because really, it was always to do with him. I have to say, thank Christ for that!

Black Sheep (1996): Dir: Penelope Spheeris / Cast: Chris Farley, David Spade, Tim Matheson, Gary Busey, Christine Ebersole: Chris Farley and David Spade reunite under a false or sense of error in one's lifestyle. This is their second pairing, after starring in the dreadful Tommy Boy. One can say that their followup is strike two. Farley attempts to help his brother's campaign but he messes up constantly. Spade is assigned to keep him out of trouble and together they uncover a conspiracy. Routine comedy with little plot. Director Penelope Spheeris does her best particularly during scene in a cabin, but after directing Wayne's World this is a big step down. Farley is still doing the nightclub act although not as annoying as he is in Tommy Boy. Spade is stranded with a deadpan role just as he was in Tommy Boy. This is also a major waste of time for Tim Matheson as Farley's brother, especially after his sheer hilarity as a fraternity brother in National Lampoon's Animal House. Also featured is Gary Busey much to his dismay, and Christine Ebersole who has the misfortune of being stuck under a thrashing Farley. One can only hope their career will outlast decisions to appear in films as stupid as this one. This film exists for stupid humour setups such as Farley thrashing atop a woman after being immobilized on top of her. Very forced and not worth the time of day. Score: 3 / 10

Have you ever seen this and thought it was great? From my point of view: Definitely no! It's amazing why a film that is virtually a remake of Tommy Boy can be so much worse but there you have it.Chris Farley was funny and his years on Saturday Night Live proves that he was more than just a bumbling fool as he is portrayed here. The movie starts out kind of strange when we see him working at some kind of civics center. In an attempt to make him kind of sympathetic, we see him bonding with some kid but that side of the story wouldn't have been that interesting and is left a subplot that eats only a minute more of screen time.So what do we get. We get Tim Matheson playing his brother running for governor (in a totally unnecessary part. Simply there because Farley's idol, John Belushi and he were friends). We get his sniveling campaign manager: another sleazy guy performance by Timothy Carhart (remember him from Thelma and Louise?). We get another of Belushi's compadres Bruce McGill as the opposing side's campaign manager and finally David Spade as himself. This setup could have been funny but is absolutely played as a setup to Farley's character messing everything up for his brother with slapstick sequences (or anti-slapstick as we feel every bit of pain that Farley feels). If we had seen Farley arguing with people for his brother's votes in the same vein he did with brake pads in Tommy Boy this could have been much better. Why rip something off and then completely screw up everything the original stood for?There are some scenes here that are so painful to watch that it makes you sick: 1) Farley's encounter with a bat. Spade covers him in a blanket and whacks the living crap out of him. This was probably a take on the scene with the bees in Tommy Boy. It falls flat on it's ugly face.2) Farley getting stoned and shouting out 60's slogans to cheers at a rock concert and screws it up by screaming: "Kill Whitey". It has never been funny not even sitcom funny.3) Spade's face off with a crazy Vietnam vet. This is like seeing the worst Police Academy movie you can think off. Spade was in one of the worst so maybe he liked it.Ready for the best part: Farley actually finds out that the election is rigged at the last minute. This is so unlikely after we seen him stumble through one blunder after another that I was scratching my head in disbelief. Of course, there must be some conflict that has to be resolved but the scene where Matheson tells Farley to keep out of the way is so unbelievable because we don't feel that they have any connection to one another in the first place.The film has a happy ending or sort of. The brothers are not a bit closer than they were before and Farley goes on his merry way again. It is hard to believe that director Penelope Spheeris was the director of Wayne's World as well. Maybe she just wanted to go home because she knew that this couldn't possibly be good anyway. Farley had less than one year to live and it shows that he was not in very good shape here. A shame he left us with two much bigger bombs than this (Beverly Hills Ninja and Almost Heroes)
