History Film / BlackSheep1996

A 1996 comedy film directed by Penelope Spheeris, starring Creator/ChrisFarley and Creator/DavidSpade following the release of ''Film/TommyBoy'' nearly a year earlier.

Mike Donnelly (Farley) is the bumbling younger brother to Al Donnelly (Creator/TimMatheson), an up-and-coming political figure in the state of Washington trying to defeat two-time-incumbent Evelyn Tracy (Creator/ChristineEbersole) and become Governor. Problem for Al is, try as Mike may to be a good little brother and offer his services to Al's campaign drive, his good intentions always end up going horribly wrong and they become P.R. nightmares for Al and his main advisor, Roger Kovary (Timothy Carhart). To attempt to contain Mike, Al and Roger assign campaign worker Steve Dodds (Spade) to shadow Mike and keep the unfortunate consequences of his actions at bay--resulting in staying in a cabin in the woods where among the different things that go wrong, they come across a high-strung Sergeant named Rusty Sabitch (Creator/GaryBusey).

Not to be confused with BlackSheep. Mike doesn't reject his role in his family; he instead embraces his role, to the point where even Al, if only for a brief moment, does consider cutting him off. Also not to be confused with [[Film/BlackSheep2007 the New Zealand horror comedy about killer sheep]].
