Following his success in "Tommy Boy", the studio paired Chris Farley and David Spade in another film, "Black Sheep". According to IMDB, it was rushed into production and the script was slapped together...though the finished product is quite watchable if not especially inspired.
Mike Donnelly (Farley) is an embarrassment to his brother, Al, who is running for governor. Why? Because Mike is a complete screw-up...a guy who destroys practically everything he touches. It's so bad that Al is convinced by his campaign manager to keep Mike out of the public eye and Steve (Spade) volunteers to babysit Mike. As you'd expect, however, Mike still manages to get into all sorts of trouble. What's next? See the film.
This is a dopey and inoffensive time-passer filled with lots of pratfalls. So, if you like seeing Spade and Farley knocked about and breaking stuff, well, then this film is for you! I don't love films like this, but for an occasional change of pace, it's not bad and is kind of funny at times.
By the way, Gary Busey is also in the film and essentially plays himself.
