Self-important, over-dramatic, uninspired.

Purely Joyful Movie!

A very feeble attempt at affirmatie action

I wanted to like it more than I actually did... But much of the humor totally escaped me and I walked out only mildly impressed.

The Gods Must Be Crazy II is a fun film for all, lighthearted and lovable.The main highlights for me are Xixo and the his kids finding each other with so much elation and the skunk with Hans Strydom, he is really annoyed by it but cares about it at the same time. On the negative, I don't think the soldiers were great, but not impactfully so.

The Gods Must Be Crazy II. Movie takes you again into the wild yet simple world of Xixo played efficiently by N!xau and how simple mistakes turn into the hilarious situations. The whole writing is filled with funny ideas and conversations which are simple and touching and director handles the things with an easy hand making you laugh and care at the same time and how he gets the best work from animals in the jungle. Lena Farugia playing beautiful Dr. Ann Taylor is always into the center of the problems and does an astounding job. There are many funny moments like scenes involving the tiny twin engine plane, Ann fighting with monkeys over a glass of water and my favorite Hans Strydom's love hate relationship with a wild creature who is stuck to his boot. I am going with good 7 out of 10 for The Gods Must Be Crazy II. I bet you have not seen such a funny and touching comedy over the wild world of Africa.

There is a lot of story in this movie, but the thread that follows the two little black kids who get separated from their father is hilarious. Imagine this--a 3 year old and a 4 year old, speaking Xhosa(?) through the whole movie to each other--and yet YOU the viewer know every word they say! No voice-over! No sub-titles, just exceedingly clever script-writing combined with brilliant direction of these two kids.I wish I could afford to buy the two Gods... movies, but until then I keep an eye on TV listings and never miss an opportunity to watch them again and again.

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.
