“I really didnu0026#39;t think TOMMY BOY was all that funny. I didnu0026#39;t. But I sure did like BLACK SHEEP. The film is a good film if you want a laugh. But you need to have the right sense of humor. Gene Siskel obviously did not have the correct type of humor, as he is reported to have walked out on this film. Well, that was one of his biggest mistakes, because there are far worse movies out there! u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eChris Farley was funny as hell, I donu0026#39;t think anyone should object to that. David Spade still is pretty funny (although he lost a lot of points with me when he did JOE DIRT).u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eI thought this film was actually pretty good. The other members of the cast were good: Tim Matheson, Gary Busey, Grant Heslov, and Bruce McGill. All of them were funny as hell. Maybe with the exception of Gary Buseyu0026#39;s character, who I must admit was pretty stupid. The film had a good story though, and it was sweet-natured along iwth being majorly crude and funny. I recommend ALMOST HEROES and TOMMY BOY *if* you liked this movie. BLACK SHEEP gets 4/5.”
