Customer Reviews of The Gods Must Be Crazy
An excellent family film with a positive story line. I saw this movie about 10 years ago on HBO. We taped it butwatched it so much the tape broke. Now I want to buy it for my videocollection but to my dismay, no one has it. Even the internet says it's out of print. For the life of me I don't see why some enterprising person in the movie business has not re-released this film. They would make my day and a lot of money. Most of the films released today have little to no social value and are certainly not films you want your kids or grandkids to see. PLEASE BRING THIS MOVIE BACK!!!
Offbeat amusement
I think one reason "The Gods Must Be Crazy" became such a hit at one time is because its setting and characters are quite different from any we've seen coming from Hollywood. It tells the story of a Bushman in the Kalahari who decides to rid his idyllic tribe of the one thing that causes them strife - a coke bottle tossed from a passing airplane. He sets off to throw it off the edge of the world, and instead finds himself in prison for shooting a goat. He is rescued by a bumbling naturalist and his mechanic sidekick, who then set out to save a schoolteacher and her class from a group of terrorists. The obvious message is that the "primitive" Bushmen are much more civilized in their own way than anyone the modern world. Some critics may complain of this idealized, paternalistic view of the Bushmen. Looking at the film now, this seems a rather strange comedy in its use of sped-up footage, silent-movie cornball music, and cheaply dubbed-over voices that barely match the lips of the speakers. A lot of the gags, like the naturalist rolling his car up and down a hill while a baboon looks on, fall pretty flat, but the movie picks up steam towards the end, and the African scenery is interesting as well. Worth seeing once.
I can't believe there's only one review
This is a classic film. It will not make you roll on the floor in laughter, but it will make you smile & admire this man's desire to rid his tribe of this evil thing.
