Leave your thoughts about The Gods Must Be Crazy.
| VarietyVariety StaffFilm's main virtues are its striking, widescreen visuals of unusual locations, and the sheer educational value of its narration. |
| Washington PostRita KempleyThe Gods Must Be Crazy is so genial, so good-natured and, on occasion, so inventive in its almost Tati-like slapstick routines, that it would would seem to deny the existence of any racial problems anywhere. |
| Common Sense MediaS. Jhoanna RobledoCharming family film makes you think; expect some shooting. |
| Video-Reviewmaster.comSteve CrumSleeper that became a huge hit; all about the discovery of a soft drink container by a bushman. Funny, fascinating. |
| TheMovieChicks.comCherryl Dawson and Leigh Ann PaloneYou'd have to be crazy not to be charmed by this movie - grab a coke and a smile. |
| Time OutSheila JohnstonOffensively racist and too gormless even for the kids at whom it is evidently aimed: Third World cinema of a quite... uncommon kind. |
| Chicago Sun-TimesRoger EbertIt might be easy to make a farce about screwball happenings in the desert, but it's a lot harder to create a funny interaction between nature and human nature. This movie's a nice little treasure. |
| TimeRichard CorlissThe film's pleasures are simple and obvious: an original plot, lots of slapstick and a lead performance by the Bushman N!xau, who registers every absurdity with the aplomb of an aboriginal Buster Keaton. |
| eFilmCritic.comScott WeinbergThere's an earnest sincerity to the messages offered within, plus the presentation is colorful and exotic and quite funny throughout. |
| Sin MagazineAustin KennedyThe 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. |
