6/10
Slapsticky follow-up
5 May 2024
The two "Gods Must Be Crazy!" films must be credited for bringing more people to African cinema than perhaps any other film, but let's face it: they are made primarily for a Western audience, and their nominal lead, the true Kalahari native N! Xau, is more of a supporting character in both. This sequel consists mostly of endless slapstick shenanigans; the script seems to be running around in circles - often literally. But the slapstick IS occasionally inventive, the photography-stuntwork-animal integration are all good, the unconditionally positive N! Xau is still great, Lena Farugia displays a legendary pair of legs, and there is a heartwarming ending to everything. **1/2 out of 4.
