This movie hasn’t aged well, but there are still some funny gags, and the moral about avoiding meddling with indigenous cultures holds up.

It was a good movie back in the day but would probably get cancelled now so I will just leave it at that.

Clever plot with many memorable moments. The guy on the cover is not Trevor Noah.

A classic screwball comedy. It took them years to actually pay the bushman actor, and he used all his money helping his family and village.

It shows the reality of different culture. I don't like the name of the movie.

Interesting examination of how cultural markers among humans affects their perception.

A very unique film with a story you surely do not expect. Delivery and acting on point but surely not suitable for everyone. I recommend it.
