I rented Black Sheep because my wife thought it would be funny. It's definitely a horror comedy, but it wasn't as nearly as funny as Shaun of the Dead was.

A horror flick? I thought this thread had to do with the old show Baa Baa Black Sheep with Robert Conrad as "Pappy" Boyington, talk about a misleading thread title.

And I thought it was the Chris Farley movie. Great flick!

So, is this the one that was filmed in New Zealand? I've seen previews for something that had sheep in it (don't want to give away too much!) and sort of looked like a black comedy.

Black comedy? Man, I'm so sick the Wayans.

Yes, it was filmed in New Zealand. Sheep turn into zombies. Here is a link to a trailer on Youtube.

Can't view YouTube from here, so can't see the trailer.....

Personally I was a little disappointed with it.

Sure, it was funny enough but I thought they overdid it with the sheep jokes (as if we Kiwis don't get enough of that from the Aussies).

It ended up being more like one of Peter Jacksons earlier efforts - Brain Dead, Bad Taste etc. Like my old report cards "Could try harder".

We were disappointed with Black Sheep as well. We waited all summer for it to come to our local drive in, but, it never showed up. So we rented it when the video came out. It could have been done better.

i thought it was a fine effort.

Yeah,

I thought it was Black Sheep squadron as well.

That two minutes of my life I won't get back.
