Reviews

Irishchatter 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!

spencer10 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.

julie_t97 I can sum up all you need to know about this movie in two words. Gary Busey. The character he plays in Drake sabitch may be the best of all time. It's so funny to me I guess, because we have this ex swat team guy that's totally nuts and is like this guy in so many ways. Times I watch this movie just for his parts. This movie is as good if not better than Black Sheep. I agree with the other users. These film critics are a joke. It just shows another pointless job in America. Their not even smart enough to figure out it's not a serious movie. It's a stupid movie and you have to watch a stupid movie every so often. Nothing cheers you up more. It's ashamed some people just don't get it.

moviemonster92 Chris Farley was a movie genius. Fresh from SNL he made lots of funny movies, my favorite of his being "Almost Heroes". He had collaborated with David Spade before on "Tommy Boy". They both made a pretty good team in the movies. They were both pretty hilarious and it was a shame that Farley had died sometime later. So was this better than "Tommy Boy" you ask? NO! This was OK, but did not even come close to what "Tommy Boy" accomplished. So here is the plot: Al Donnely (Tim Matheson) is running for Govener of Washington and to ensure a clean election he hires his aide Steve Dodds (Spade) to keep an eye on his kindhearted but clumsy brother Mike Donnely (Farley). So the race to beat their competitor Govener Tracy (Christine Ebersole) begins so that Al can become the next Govener of Washington. The acting is sub par and mostly only Farley makes it up to snuff with the material he is handed. Spade on the other hand is probably thinking, I could be making "Joe Dirt" right about now, but is still pretty good in the role he is given, but still could be better. Their is a scene where Farley is smoking weed and that is what ultimately led to his death in 1997. All in all a good and interesting movie for a couple of viewings.2 1/2 out of 4 stars
