I couldn´t stop laughing
7 October 1999 | by (Lidingö, Sweden) – See all my reviews

I just laughed and laughed and laughed so hard all my way thru the movie. This is ten times funner than Tommy Boy, but some say the opposite. But maybe they don´t love(d) Chris Farley as much as I do. Black Sheep is Chris Farleys funniest movie. Beverly Hills Ninja is right behind.
