South African director Jamie Uys caught lightning in a bottle with The Gods Must Be Crazy--a Coke bottle, to be specific. This slaphappy collection of goofy pratfalls and culture-clash gags became an enormous international smash, and made a sort of star out of the Bushman selected to play the central role, the completely ingratiating N!Xau. He plays a man, unaware of white culture, who finds a Coca-Cola bottle in the Kalahari (dropped by a passing pilot) and promptly has his life turned around by this mystical object. The movie looks slipshod and even amateurish at times, yet its attitude is so bubbly it's hard to resist. Proving that physical comedy remains a true international language, millions of moviegoers around the world drank it up. The Gods Must Be Crazy II (1989) returns N!Xau to the bizarre world of the white man, this time in a slicker plot (and a with a bigger budget) that, perhaps predictably, yields fewer real belly laughs than the first time around. Director Jamie Uys sticks to his cherished notions that tribesmen are wiser than civilized people, and that fast-motion comedy is inherently funny. The storyline begins with N!Xau's innocent Bushman searching for his lost children; he then gets sidetracked by subplots. The humor is basic, but in best silent-movie tradition Uys prepares his set-pieces with elaborate care, and he understands the value of the long-delayed pay-off. --Robert Horton

 The Gods Must Be Crazy Series Great Family Movie January 7, 2009
This is a great family movie that I enjoyed watch with my kids. I saw it as young boy and it was fun then and now.
 Good comedy January 6, 2009
This is a good comedy with little to no bad words or blood and guts. It kept me laughing all the time at simple things. It takes place in Africa and it give an insight to what someone from another culture thinks about something we take for granite.
The Gods Must be Crazy December 23, 2008
Sweet and funny,this film came out years ago but is worth seeing again for a laugh. The aborigine hero is so much more sensible than most other characters in the story. I have not seen the sequels to movie II.
