When dignified Albert Donnelly runs for Governor, his team moves to keep his slow-witted and klutzy younger brother, Mike, out of the eye of the media. To baby-sit Mike, the campaign assigns sarcastic Steve, who gets the experience of a lifetime when he tries to take Mike out of town during the election.

I cannot think of one single thing that I would change about this film. The acting is incomparable, the directing deft, and the writing poignantly brilliant.

It is neither dumb nor smart enough to be fun, and spends way too much time with its boring human characters.

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.

Not enough character development on Spade's character; would have wanted to know more about why he's doing it. Not much info on his relationship with Al Donnelly; e.g.: how good was he at his job, and why Donnelly was so quick to let him have the job with Mike. Lack of time, I guess, but I would have wanted to know more.Farley was definitely the star of the movie, which meant I had to rewind to catch the funnier moments with Spade, if the two were in the same shot. Couldn't help but think Farley wasn't all that fat in this movie, for all the fat jokes.Error alert: almost immediately after Mike falls on Steve in the bunk bed scene, the bed is magically in one piece.

Chris Farley portrayed likable, stoner humor, as in Tommy Boy. This time It's Mike Donnelly (Chris Farley) and Steve Dodds (David Spade) this is better, simply because David Spade's character wasn't so mean or razor sharp sarcastic, like in Tommy Boy. It is set in Washington, where I used to live. Tommy Boy was a virtual remake of Planes, Trains and Automobiles, and instead of the brutally sarcastic David Spade, sarcastic at times, the movie has mostly physical humor and "butt-head humor". More like Laurel and Hardy trying to straighten out corruption in the state election, as he is a target who is set up to ruin his brother's election, and Gary Busey plays a weapon crazy, backwoods war monger, who is a bad guy until near the end of the movie when he is impressed with Mike's combat moves when he saved Steve from being murdered, and he becomes their sort of ally in further action. The type of stupid humor we see include the temporary house in the wilderness losing its roof with a storm following hail and Mike on the top bunk crashes down on Steve. The Fridge slides towards the door and crashes into Mike and he thinks he got pudding in his pants, only there wasn't any in the fridge, possible toilet humor and Mike at an MTV election promotion getting stoned with reefers and protesting on live TV almost ruining his brother. David Spade, is actually funny when he's not sarcastic, such as when the bursting nitro booster gets them high while driving a police car.

If you're going to be crude, and-or outrageous, you better be funny.I know the guy's dead but I'm sorry: I don't what the attraction ever was for actor Chris Farley. He and the movies he was in, generally speaking, were trash, I mean absolute garbage. He was a huge, slobby guy and not funny. You can be a big slob and still be a real likable actor, like John Candy. But, this guy was no John Candy. David Spade, his comedic partner in this film, isn't exactly the Bob Hope of comedians for this age, either.This is a typically crude PG-13 comedy of today that does have it's funny moments but overall is low class. In this film, believe me, most of the skits were not funny and they are the usual sex jokes. Hollywood is obsessed with sex in its comedy movies. Hey, I can laugh at dumb humor with the best of 'em, and I'll laugh at good sex joke, too, but I couldn't find that many good sketches in here. That's the film really is, one sketch after another featuring Farley and/or Spade. This guys did better in "Tommy Boy," but not much better. It's these kind of films that give today's comedy films a bad name.
