Reviews for The Gods Must Be Crazy
There's an earnest sincerity to the messages offered within, plus the presentation is colorful and exotic and quite funny throughout.
It's not hard to understand why the film was such a worldwide sensation...
There's Uys' penchant for very broad Jerry Lewis-like slapstick, and your enjoyment of that depends entirely on your penchant for said slapstick.
