Chris Farley plays the disaster-prone brother of a gubernatorial candidate in Washington State. Though he is well meaning, the havoc he creates on the campaign trail is drawing press attention, so a snotty aide (David Spade) to the politician is dispatched to keep the big lug under control. Spade's character initially insults his charge as often as possible, but over time, the two bond and end up becoming a part of the final election push. Farley and Spade have some very funny moments, but overall the film feels rushed and poorly planned. Constant changes in character and script happen recklessly and randomly so that nothing ever really makes sense; the film keeps changing the rules by which it plays. --Tom Keogh

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.

This movie is one of the best comedies I've ever seen and I've seen it a lot,and it keeps getting better each time. David Spade and Chris Farley were the Abbot and Costello of the 90's they had great chemistry and above all else they were funny and in case you have'nt guessed I also loved Tommy Boy. These 2 were also great seperately,Spade in "Lost and Found" and Farley in "Beverly Hills Ninja" if you want to laugh,watch these movies.

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.

campaign hijinx in the evergreen state...
Despite the diligent efforts of Chris Farley (1964-1997), who delivers most of the movie's funniest moments, Black Sheep lacks the substance and cohesiveness to be a solid comedy. Read more

Another Farley/Spade classic
This movie was not quite as good as Tommy Boy, but it's still a fairly solid film with some funny scenes, like when Farley is freaking out and the old ladies think he is on... Read more

Black Sheep
Movie was in perfect shape, arrived rapidly. Movie is sophomoric and slapstick, but you gotta love Chris Farley.
