There's an earnest sincerity to the messages offered within, plus the presentation is colorful and exotic and quite funny throughout.

Whimsical mix of African folk tale and slapstick comedy

The comedy has a Keystone Cops feel and the film is also occasionally touching. These kinds of silly movies just aren't made anymore and that's too bad.

A funny comedy, done is slapstick style, about a single but origianl idea of how a bottle of Coke changes the entire lifestle of a tribe.

You'd have to be crazy not to be charmed by this movie - grab a coke and a smile.

There's Uys' penchant for very broad Jerry Lewis-like slapstick, and your enjoyment of that depends entirely on your penchant for said slapstick.

Sleeper that became a huge hit; all about the discovery of a soft drink container by a bushman. Funny, fascinating.
