Tommy Boy was great, true, but this was about as good a follow up to it as Chris Farley and David Spade could have hoped for. These two maniacs were awesome together... as good as any comedy pair in history. Very sad that Farley died so young. If you haven't seen this film then I suggest, to save face, that you dig a hole, jump in, and pull the dirt in on yourself.

This Movie rules!Rated PG-13 for crude language and humor,drug-related material,and sexual innuedo.Good for anyone 8 and up.

I believe this film is racist towards the sheep but my friend christian really likes it!!!!

Black Sheep picks up right where Tommy Boy left off with the amazing comic pairing of Chris Farley and David Spade. This is another of the better movies to come from the cast of Saturday Night Live. I really miss seeing Farley and Spade together on film...

Most people I know place this movie second to Tommy Boy, which makes some sense, I suppose, but it has just as many laughs. The scenes with Farley and Spade together in the log cabin are priceless and hilarious.

I like Saturday Night Live and I like Chris Farley and David Spade who both used to be on SNL and though Tommy Boy is my favorite of their movies I liked Black Sheep too and thought it was a really cute movie and it had scenes that were absolutely hilarious especially the scenes when they were out in the rural area and what happened to the cabin after the thing with that boulder. Tim Matheson is in this movie too and I have always liked him, he plays Chris Farley's politician brother and I thought he was great as were Chris Farley and David Spade. I highly recommend this delightful movie to fans of SNL, Chris Farley, David Spade, and Tim Matheson

Sure this film is similar, it is also as entertaining. It is worth owning especially considering how cheap it is. Despite some claims on here this film did fine at the box office it made $32,377,000 domestically. This is good considering Tommy Boy made $32,700,000 domestically. The gross was very similar and the cost of production were on par with one another. Considering inflation was not a factor in the differing numbers as well, there is very little to indicate that this film failed. On DVD this film has sold well, granted not as well as Tommy Boy. Regardless making false claims that it tanked and does not compare is a result is simply not true. The film although similar is very good and worth the view.

Chris Farley is a martyr to the comedy world. He was the best drag queen ever, and he was not afraid to fall down. It's a shame that he was succumbed to a drug overdose on December 18, 1997 and was found dead in his apartment. Do yourself a favor and don't do drugs. They f**k you up. Also donate to the Chris Farley Foundation, which is run by Farley's two brothers. Comedy is good for you, drugs aren't.

Anyways, "Black Sheep" is hilarious. Yes, David Spade returns as Steve to babysit clumsy oaf Mike Donnelhy (Farley) while Mike's brother, Al, runs for Washington state governor. The movie really gets rolling when Steve and Mike stay at a lodge in the woods of Washington. When a boulder rolls down and hits the house, making it slide down the grade, everything moves, except the refrigerator, which is held in by the plug, until it is unplugged and slammed against Mike, who then says, "I've got a bowl of chocolate pudding down my pants." Steve responds, "We didn't have any pudding in there."

Another crackup is when Mike calls top bunk, but in the middle of the night, the roof blows off and it hails inside. While Mike is being pelted by hail, Steve laughs and teases him by mimicing, "I call top bunk." Pretty soon, the top bunk lands on Steve.

I don't want to spoil the movie any more than I did, but you need to watch this for yourself. Get the other movies with Chris Farley in them, even Billy Madison and Dirty Work. Those are also crackups, and Norm MacDonald stars in both.

I was inspired to rent this movie after I had watched the first Farley-Spade movie, Tommy Boy (which is another fantastic show). I found myself laughing throughout the entire movie. This movie never leaves you hanging there bored out of your mind. Although no movie could ever match up to the greatness of Tommy Boy, this movie comes awfully close to achieving greatness. I love this movie and recommend anyone to give it a chance at least once!

saw this tons of time for rent on vhs
and a fair amount on tv
it's a priceless comedy
not only was I getting the hiccups from laughing so much at this movie
but the movie really touched me how the brother tried to help his brother out.
a great cast of characters too by the way
the performance by Mudhoney is awesome
I'd recommend Tommy boy and other Chris Farley movies if you're a fan. I have this on dvd and laugh harder and harder every time I watch it

Me and my brother Daniel used to watch this one DAILY. We laughed from beggining to end. I'm telling you, if you like those crazy movies that makes you pee your panties, than I think this one is probably one of the best. Chris Farley: My favorite comedy actor (rest in peace) stars on this one with David Spade. I strongly suggest you watch this flick if you're in the mood for "HAHAHAs".


CHRIS FARLY IS THE BEST !!!!!!!!!!!


P.S.- If you loved this one, then I suggest you watch the following ones too:

- "Tommy Boy".- I haven't watched this one and it is with Chris Farley and David Spade. Some people think this movie is Farley's best movie he made. WOW. If "Black Sheep" is one of the best, then imagine how this one would be!!!!! For what I heard: 10/10.

- "Beverly Hills Ninja".- I watched this one and I think it is another one of my all-time favorite's. This one is another movie in which Farley stars in. It will make you laugh you're a** off.- 10/10.

- "Almost Heroes".- Farley's last movie staring with "Friends" star Matthew Perry (I love that T.V. show). Not as funny as the other ones listed above, but also one of my favorite's.- 9/10.

- "Dirty Work".- One of the best. Another crazy comedy staring Norm MacDonald and in "cameo" Chris Farley.- 9/10.

Remember when David Spade was still on SNL, and he and Teri Hatcher did that "Spade In America" sketch on Weekend Update? Well, Teri Hatcher was dressed up as David Spade, and David Spade was dressed up as Teri Hatcher. To quote Teri Hatcher (playing David Spade), she summed up this movie the best: "Well, you know, I did a movie called 'Black Sheep.' Maybe you saw it the first time, when it was called 'Tommy Boy!'" David Spade's response (dressed as Teri Hatcher): "Uh.. yes. I did see that. You were great, David. I mean, you are very sexy." What a comeback...way to promote your movie there, David. Tommy Boy was good, but this one was rushed out to capitalize on that movie's popularity. Fans shunned Black Sheep. There are a couple of scenes in which one may crack a smile, but all in all it tanked at the box office, it's rank in sales is 1095 spots behind Tommy Boy, and based on the fact that it has only gotten 39 Amazon.com reviews over the past 9 years, I think it's fair to say that this movie just isn't very funny nor entertaining to most people.

If you like Chris Farley falling down, you'll love Black Sheep. Chris Farley falls down like never before in this cinematic achievement...
This movie is really great. I love when Chris is campaigning for his brother outside of the supermarket and does kart-wheels in front of consumers, covered in campaign buttons and pins.

Any age, any time, guarenteed laughs.

This is the Best of there two Movies this one is classic entertainment and is Chris Farley at his best wich was great it was a very enjoyable movie.He was the Brother of the guy running for governor and was getting into lots of introuble.
Story 9 Acting 10 Directing 9 Action 10 Entertainment 10
Overall=48/50 wich is 96% This is a 5 star movie.

This is Highly recomended and maybe the Best of him and Sandler

Chris Farley and David Space are awesome in this movie. Mike Donnelly can't seem to improve his brother Al's campaign for Washington governor at all. He just screws it up. That's where Spade comes in as Steve Dodds. Rural Washington towns are next on the list as Spade and Farley stir up trouble. Rock The Vote in Seattle is awesome too with Farley a little high on the stage.

Christine Ebersole as incumbant Governor Tracy is hillarious as the shrewd evil person she is to do anything dirty to win the campaign for herself.

"You all have been screwed by Governor Tracy, and now I'm going to screw her!" Mike Donnelly

This movie is all great and all but I like Tommy Boy better. Plus I again hate the special features. I mean just the trailer c'mon you know it would be better if it had like a behind the scenes, uhhh.....I don't know about the commentary hey by David spade ya you know Joe dirt ahh that wont work. This movie is really hilarious but I guess since there's no special addition DVD I guess we have to get this but ahhh...what eva. If only Chris Farley's not alive anymore but I guess we have to get what we can have....

tommy boy is one of the best comedies ever and this compares to it david spade and chris farley are in it again and they are hillarious.

This Movie Has The SNL Duo By Chris Farley (R.I.P) And David Spade Some Great One Liners and Very Funny Moments Make This Worth Owning Spade And Farley Are One of The Top 5 On Screen Comedy Duos Ever In My Opinon

And While Your At It Buy Tommy Boy To

I actually rate this movie with 2.5 stars. It has no purpose. We experienced the magic of the Farley/Spade comedy connection in "Tommy Boy"; why didn't they just leave well-enough alone? Were these guys in some alternate reality planning to become the next Dean Martin/Jerry Lewis comedy collaboration? Granted, the movie does star Chris Farley and David Spade, so it has its moments (how could it not?). Beyond that, "Black Sheep" has no rhyme or reason. Don't waste a minute of your time on this. Chances are, you've already seen it.

With the big success of Tommy Boy, people thought they needed another quick hit with both Farley and Spade. Instead, casting Farley and Spade in this bomb does nothing but give the audience hopes, even PLEAS for the slightest bit of comic relief. The film has a couple laughable moments, but some may be laughing more at how rushed and undeveloped the film is than at some corny joke about "chocolate pudding in my underpants." I don't know why this movie is so rushed, by the way; it ends up with a running length of only 86 minutes. And if you ask me, it's the rushing of the film that is its biggest demise. Characters constantly go out of character for no reason, there aren't very many pleasing jokes, and nothing ever does a very good job of getting developed. For example, I got the impression that the film's basic plot was to send Farley and Spade's characters up in a cabin so that Farley's character wouldn't ruin the election for his brother. However, I don't think the two even spend a half hour in the retreat. Also, Farley is much funnier when his character isn't trying to be a nice-guy, role-model type. Actually, that brings up another flaw, Farley hardly ever plays the same character, he goes from charismatic role model for kids to extreme klutz & idiot to rockin' pothead. I love Chris Farley and was very sad to see him go, but for some of his better moments, get Tommy Boy, or maybe even Beverly Hills Ninja. Better choice yet-- buy SNL's "Best Of Chris Farley." It's hilarious, nostalgic, and much more fun to watch than this.

my humble opinon. yes. black sheep is the funnyest thing youll see this side of hong kong. ort maybe notr hong kong because i cant fing hong kong on the map. cn you? gag gag gag gag gag. funny.

Chris Farley proved himself on Saturday Night Live that he was a comedic genius. While he made a big screen name for himself in "Tommy Boy," he fares just as funny in "Black Sheep."
It's a real treat to watch him on screen; even if some of his comedic bits are a bit sophmoric and just an extension of what he did on television, it's almost impossible not to like what he does.

To put it simply, Black Sheep is on my list of Top 100 Funniest Movies Ever. The chemistry between Chris Farley (RIP) and David Spade is unbelievable (not to mention side-splitting). Their performance in this movie is great, and fans will enjoy such timeless moments as "Kill Whitey!", short-circuited headbanging, the nitrous oxide, David Spade being "extinguished," and Chris Farley wearing bunny ears. If you like comedy, this is not a movie you want to miss. Another noteworthy part of this movie is the role of Gary Busey as a fanatic war veteran with a prosthetic leg who lives in a school bus surrounded by land mines.

As you can see, I love this movie, and give it 5 stars. However, as a DVD I give it only 4. I paid good money for it, and what do I get? The movie. And only the movie. There are no special features whatsoever, which is what makes this such a miserable DVD. The persons who compiled this should have taken the time to at least get an interview with David Spade and Gary Busey and put the original theatrical trailer on the DVD. This "compilation" pales in comparison to the modern standards of DVDs. In my opinion though, the movie is so great that it alone nearly justifies the cost, even though you can buy it on VHS - minus only surround sound and French audio - for a fraction of that price.

Although filled with some funny moment, Black Shhep is mainly depressing. I get the feeling that Chris Farely was depressed, on drugs, and only doing this for money. I am not going to compare this to Taommy Boy;they are like apples and oranges. Some scenes I laughed out loud. Other scenes I shook my head and closed my eyes. I actually liked row-ads and "Kill Whitey." All in all, this film was pretty mediocre. Thank you for taking the time to read my review and feel free to leave me a helpful/not helpul feeback. God Bless America!

After Chris Farley (R.I.P) and David Spade's first comedy hit, they made another one together called "Black Sheep". Personally I think this movie is as good as Tommy Boy. Farley and Spade have done it again.

The setting starts out in Washington state. Mike Donelly (Farley) is the goofy, lame-brain brother of Al Donelly (Tim Matheson) who is running for governor. Mike can't stop getting into trouble and it makes his brother look bad as he tries to win the election. So, Al comes across Steve Dodds (Spade) and hires him to watch his brother and keep him out of trouble.

As the two set out to promote Al's canadicy for governor, they get set-up for an arsenal fire by Al's opponent, the current Governor Tracy. So the two are sent out to the woods in the mountains of Washington to hide out. The cabin they stay in is falling apart. The roof flies off during a wind and hail storm and a boulder hits the house.

Will Al win the election? Can Mike stay out of trouble? Find out what happens next. This movie is a top choice for any Farley movie lover.

Farley plays the role of Mike Donnelly, the brother of gubernatiorial canidate, Al Donnelly. Spade plays Steve Dodds, the aid who is supposed to stop Farley from screwing things up. It's not as good as Tommy Boy, but you get plenty of laughs. There are a few occassions where the movie drags, but keep watching and toward the end you'll get rewarded with some great humor. Farley and Spade were the best comedy team ever and it's such a shame they did not get to make more movies together.

I love Chris Farley but this movie is not his best. I know this has been said before but to quote "I liked it the first time I saw it when it was called Tommy Boy".

The name of Farley's character has changed his profession has changed and so has the name of David Spade's. It is still hilariously funny up it will always in my mind be overshadowed by Tommy Boy.

I must agree with the prior two reviews. You cannot compare this movie to "Tommy Boy". And that's for two reasons: one, Chris Farley's characters are usually about the same; therefore it is hard to differentiate his movies. And two, "Tommy Boy" was a breakout film for him, his best ever, and you can't expect one man to produce consistency of that caliber time and time again. With that said, you must enjoy "Black Sheep" for what it is. And what is is a hilarious movie.

In the movie, Mike Donnelly (Farley) and Steve Dodds (Spade) are two very different guys. Mike's a laughable fat guy who does everything he can to help his brother Al (Tim Matheson) win his election. Whereas Steve Dodds is a sad crass little man who is given the job of 'servicing', so to speak, Mike on the campaign run. As I'm sure you can imagine the servicing does not go quite as planned. And that's where most of the movie's comedy is generated. Mike makes many attempts to help his brother yet only seems to hurt him. And Dobbs, along with many others, does whatever he can to keep Mike away from the campaign all-together. It's really very sad to see the way in which Farley's character is treated. I'm sure you'll feel bad for him, even if you didn't like the "kill whitey" episode. We all know he didn't mean it.

I, unlike many other fans, show great appreciation for Chris Farley's work in this movie. The director Penelope Spheeris (who brought us such comedies as "Wayne's World" and "Senseless") does a great job in making us laugh. Even if the laughter seems to be a quiet mirth compared to that of "Tommy Boy". But I said I wouldn't comare the two, so scratch that last remark.

I gave "Black Sheep" 4 stars because it is better than most comedies you'll find. It's also a classic Farley movie, one that I think every fan can appreciate. It ranks about #33 on my favorite movie list, which is pretty high looking at some of the movies which outdo it (and for those of you who have to know, "Tommy Boy" is #4). So see this movie and enjoy it. I know I did.

Mike Donnelly's (Chris Farley) brother, Al, is running for Governor in the state of Washington. However, Mike's desperate attempts to try to help his brother's campaign always turn into something destructive. In order to keep Mike under control, his brother sends Steve Dodds (David Spade) to keep Mike away from Washington towns in order to avoid future embarrassment. This, however, is a harder task than what Steve had imagined it to be, and things begin to turn ugly. Black Sheep is a comedy that survives on sarcasm, slapstick humor, and occasional wit. The end result is an average film experience that produces laughs, but not more.

This movie is almost just as good as Tommy Boy. Every scen has at least one laugh and most have a ton. watch this movie, you will love it!

BLACK SHEEP was another great one from the team of Farley and Spade. This one is sometimes underrated but I think it was still a good one. First and foremost, DO NOT compare this movie to TOMMY BOY because when you do, most of the time people get disappointed. Seriously, take BLACK SHEEP as it is because this is a funny movie.

Farley is Mike Donnelly and his brother Al is running for Senator in Washington state. When Al's political advisor suggests that Mike go on a hands on political movement to some small towns in rural Washington. Al feeling that it would be a good idea so Mike doesn't bumble anything up, he sends another one of his assistants, Steve Dodge (David Spade) with him. In laugh out loud Farley and Spade manner, they deliver some really good laughs and a total jab at politics.

Like I said before, don't compare this to TOMMY BOY. BLACK SHEEP is it's own movie and not a carbon copy of a previous idea. This movie delivers some really good laughs like the concert scene, when the kids beat up Spade and who could forget the police car scene? Trust me, the style of comedy is way different in this one.

Seriously, you should pick this one up. It's really funny and enjoyable. There's some swearing,sexual content and drug use but other than that, it's totally mild. If you're looking for some other good ones, check out TOMMY BOY from Spade and Farley, HAPPY GILMORE and WAYNE'S WORLD. Enjoy!

Chris Farley was a comic genius, and this film amply shows why and why he is sorely missed. As the brother of a gubernatorial candidate, he tries to help his brother's campaign, but most every attempt backfires. Sent off to the backwoods to keep him out of the way, his misadventures continue. There he pairs up with another character played by David Spade, and the two make a swell comic duo. They meet up with a carload reminiscent of DELIVERANCE. Their cabin plummets down a landslide after the balance of a balanced rock is upset in a most unlikely way. And they meet up with a crazed survivalist-type neighbor played by Gary Busey. Some of these events will all play out to make for the final resolution when they finally return to civilization. On that return, the movie's peak of zaniness is reached in an episode involving a car with a nitrous oxide booster. This underrated movie is a must for all fans of the farcical comedy genre, and a bittersweet tribute to one who shone briefly but brightly therein.

Dont pretend to be a movie critic and write bad reviews on this film just to pretend your Roper and that other movie critic. This movie is a fun movie. Chris Farley is a hoot along with David Spade. No this movie is not Academy Award Winning Material, but its not ment to be. Its ment to entertain us and get our minds off of the stressful everyday grind. It does just that. If you're in the mood to just relax and laugh with your family, this movie is a must have.

It's a shame that drugs, booze, excessive food and whores took the life of the best comedian of his era - Chris Farley. This is truly the last comedic gem that he put out. I have been waiting quite a while for Black Sheep to come out on DVD and I was pleasantly suprised when it was announced a few weeks back. Not a week goes by that me and my friend Donald don't quote a line from this movie or another one of Farley great comedic accomplishments. We miss him greatly, and appreciate all the funny moments that he made on his short time on earth. Two things died the day that Chris Farley passed away. One was a comedic genius and another was David Spade's movie career. God rest both of them.

This movie was so funny. I still get it mixed up with Tommy Boy but they will both have a spot on my movie shelf.

The best comic duo since Jim Carrey and Jeff Daniels is Chris Farley and David Spade. Mike Donnelly (Farley) is a clumsy, but good-hearted brother of governor-elect, Al Donnelly (Tim Matheson). Mike does everything to help his brother win the election by passing out stickers, buttons, and all good publicity. But since he's so silly, Al's campaign team hires a person to watch the lug from causing any damage. Many problems surface after Al's competition tries to frame Mike. A Big Brothers type of facility is burned down, smoking and drinking with teenagers, and more. Mike and the aide go to the woods to hide and come back down to help his brother. This movie is loads of fun and will have you laughing hysterically. Ozzy Osbourne makes an appearance and gets swatted at. A big boulder crashes into a cabin and Mike gives an excellent speech to MTV's Fight for Your Rights. NOS is put to good use. The 'Row-adds' were smooth and this movie is hilarious. Chris Farley is the ultimate comic genius and David Spade is just a riot.
