Black Sheep
Black Sheep tells the story of a political contest in which a candidate for Governor of Washington hires a wormy special assistant only to make sure unwanted, incompetent, and publicly embarrassing help from his brother doesn't ruin the election.

It's nice to see the two together, practicing their easy screen rapport--and no doubt more so given Farley's untimely passing--but Black Sheep is still a clunker. [Blu-ray]

Though not always in good taste, this tongue-in-cheek parody of the horror genre is sophisticated and clever enough to earn the appreciation of the egghead cult crowd.

Yeah, I giggled a couple of times. But I suspect you will giggle more if you are male, age 15-27ish.

the most charming of Farley's screen efforts, but it's too bad he wasn't around long enough to make anyting better

They're certainly no Aykroyd and Belushi, or even Myers and Carvey, but Farley and Spade manage to wring humor from a series of juvenile setups and predictable pratfalls.

Works as well as it does because the anarchic, high-energy spirits of Farley and Spheeris lock into each other perfectly.

may not be remembered as a masterful comedy classic, but for the college humor crowd with a relatively safe PG-13 rating, it's a fun diversion

Black Sheep is bleatingly awful as it reteams Chris Farley and David Spade, the poor idiot's Abbott and Costello, in a comedy so desperately inept it makes their previous effort, Tommy Boy, look like a minefield of high wit.

Exactly what you expect

A little comedy that succeeds in its modest aim to provide 87 minutes of harmless diversion.

The goofy "Tommy Boy" chemistry seems forced a second time around.
