The Gods must be Crazy I
A Coke bottle is falling down from the sky and sows some seeds of greeds in a tibe: they fight over each other for it. Kalahari bushman Xi decides to bring it back to God, where he thinks it comes from.

Charming family film makes you think; expect some shooting.

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.
