This was one of the funniest family films i have ever seen. i was young when i saw it, but i still love it. my whole family loves it and after renting it 4 times we finally bought it. there is very little colorful language and although its not as original as the first one, it is just as funny (if not more so). you've gotta check it out. maybe its a little on the cheesy side, but it's so original...and teaches you a lesson: are we really so much advanced than these people? ignorance is bliss...
Fmovies: The plot and story line are innocent.
A non-violent adventure
The movie is entertaining and humorous with refreshing morality.
More movies like this are needed for the world today!
Sequels rarely come close to the original, and this is no exception. With the exception of N!xau, most of the cast has changed. It's an attempt to recapture the magic of the first movie, but it falls short. Yet, I still love it, and feel it's still a good movie, since there is a weaving of multiple stories. It's a nice film for fans of the original.
The Gods Must Be Crazy II fmovies. While the original film would have been very difficult to top, The Gods Must Be Crazy II is certainly a strong movie. The innocence and silliness that was captured so amazingly in the first film was faithfully reconstructed in this film. Xixo was much more commanding in this film, and the two kids who played his children were also quite good. Unfortunately, the film makers had to beat the idea into the ground, and made an terrible third sequel. Alas, sometimes a great idea shouldn't always be built upon.
While "Gods...II" is not quite as hilarious as the first, it is still well worth seeing, especially for the performance of the lovely Lena Farugia. Two questions will come to mind. "Why haven't we seen her before?" and "Why haven't we seen her since?" Lena Farugia is an American born, New York trained actress living and working in South Africa, with experience as a writer and producer in television. I don't know if she did her own stunts in the movie, but if not, that was one beautiful stunt double!
Though not as funny as the original- the refreshing beauty of the children and the determination of the father to find them make this an enjoyable movie. Plus it was nice to see all the wildlife- including the badger from hell. This time there was more chemistry between the leads- believably romantic-- and the nature- how to survive in a waterless place was accurate.
