Tommy Boy... Part II... and you will just keep laughing!, 31 January 2001
10/10
Author: Tomm Bauer from New Jersey, United States

Black Sheep is one of the most hilarious movies I have seen... I am a big Farley, Spade fan and this is just as funny as Tommy Boy... no one does it better then Farley when it comes to physical humor, and the dry humor that David Spade delivers is knee slapping funny... I definitely recommend this movie!
