Comedy Chris Farley plays the disaster-prone brother of a gubernatorial candidate (Tim Matheson) 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.

	Media	Author	Review
		Kevin Thomas Los Angeles Times	"While 'Black Sheep' isn't as consistently funny as the Farley-Spade debut feature, 'Tommy Boy,' it's a crowd-pleaser directed with maximum energy and panache by Penelope Spheeris"
		Marc Savlov Austin Chronicle	"The only thing that surprises me here is that Roger Clinton isn't signed up for a cameo."
		Mick LaSalle San Francisco Chronicle	"'Black Sheep' is a little comedy that succeeds in its modest aim to provide 87 minutes of harmless diversion."
		Adam Smith Empire	"Utter, unforgivable bilge."
