Bad Acting and worse Bad Screenplay

A bit overrated, but still an amazing film

It is neither dumb nor smart enough to be fun, and spends way too much time with its boring human characters.

The best films of this genre always show a path and provide a takeaway for being a better person.

What a great film! true characters, fondly observed, sincerely played.It took a Swiss to do the present ultimate film about Berlin, about the city's oh so colorful and diverse life concepts that tend to flow into despair, without spoiling any single character. Everything You always wanted to know about these Berliners. A declaration of love for the city, by showing the absurd extremes of life, truly sticking to the phrase: reality beats every prejudice.New German cinema without political stickiness. A kind of Short Cuts version of Oh Boy. A must see in the special features of the DVD : the character's future.

This spoof of a film is largely badly acted, containing grotesque OTT performances from seemingly amateur actors, and a distinct lack of embarrassment from the professional ones.The only decent performance, by the guy playing the overweight goth-turned-Satan-worshipper was totally spoilt by him participating in the most offensive, vile and unnecessary scene in the history of cinema (where a teenager buggers his own, comatose grandmother), nearly erasing the beautifully understated way in which he approached the character's tender relationship with her before this incident from my memory and rendering his participation in this farce of a film useless.At this point, I had to walk out of the cinema.Please, save your money and your moral integrity by boycotting this utter turkey!

"Schwarze Schafe" ("Black Sheep" in English) is radical, non pc and totally different to everything you saw before. This comedy is daring and definitely over the top. Real Berlin-Style. Done without any sponsorship, some actors played for free and the whole movie is shot in black and white. So be prepared to see some scene you didn't expect and which you might find awful. Cinema-lovers who love to see something new and different should hurry up to see this exciting German comedy and laugh their ass off! All the others should go and see Harry Potter 38 and eat some popcorn for a nice evening. They won't like the movie anyway.

This is dirty, filthy and frenzied cinema, with an array of cataclysmic characters, hell-bent on creating a modern cult classic. The foul-stench of comical entertainment pollutes the air, but smells of fresh originality. The film's five ludicrous story lines brings the viewer close encounters of the worst kind of Berlin inhabitants, including Satan worshippers, sexually-frustrated teenagers, a drunk lottery winner and a foulmouthed tour guide. The vulgarity of it all will prompt the odd nauseous belch from audience members, but the humour outweighs the crudeness and Oliver Rihs' black and white film blinds with comic crudity and colour. Black Sheep may not break the bank at the Box-Office, but it is almost certain to cause a stir in DVD sales.
