Synopsis
Chris Farley stars as Mike Donnelly, the doltish younger brother of a gubernatorial candidate (Tim Matheson). Mike can't seem to stay out of trouble, thus potentially endangering his brother's chance at winning the election, so campaign aide Steve Dodds (David Spade) is assigned to chaperone him until the election is over. Not realizing that he is biting off more than he can chew, Steve takes Mike to the wilderness of Washington state, where the two men are ill-equipped to deal with the difficulties that nature throws their way. Penelope Spheeris (WAYNE'S WORLD) directs this slapstick comedy, which reunites the successful team from 1995's TOMMY BOY.
Customer Reviews
Black Sheep is Baaaaad!
Once again Chris Farley and David Spade (Tommy Boy) are on-screen partners, Black Sheep is a almost a great comedy - in terms of running time. Judged in terms of other elements--laughs, plot, characters, 'Black Sheep' is pretty baaaaaad. Farley stars as Mike Donnelly, dorky brother of Washington candidate Al Donnelly (Animal House's).
Black-sheep Mike screws up his every attempt to help his brother win the statehouse, so he's moved out to a lowly campaign assistant (David Spade), whose job it becomes to keep Mike out of trouble until election day is over. Obviously he doesn't succeed.
The movie's main problem is its intended humor fails to be recognised by the audience's mind, which is surpising as Fred Wolf the scriptwriter did well on 'Tommy Boy'. The direction seems so detached that when one scene, which is building toward a seldom guranteed laugh, is cut short right before its laugh, from here on in the audience will know they have wasted a good 83 minutes
Just because of the two's on-screen chemistry the audience will be just semi-staisfied with this element. Farley's innocence is consistently winning, and Spade,makes for an excellent foiled-again partner. They have the charm they just need the material.
FANTASTIC!
You really should get this, i like David Spade films because there allways funny mainly Just Shoot me! but he works wel in this film. don`t just think about it GET IT!
Sheer genius
If you like senseless humour....this is king! A brilliant comedy that isnt complex like modern day comedies. Basically, its a jumble of different secenes patched together with a thin storyline. But dont let that put you off, thats what makes it sooo good. Both Chris Farley and David Spade are bang on form, they woth magically as a partnership and the late Chris Farley it simply fantastic.
