Movie Info

This sequel to the enormous international hit The Gods Must Be Crazy isn't quite as fresh and enchanting as the original, but it is still a garden of small delights. N!Xau, the Kalihari bushman who starred in the first film, is separated from his children while on a hunting expedition in the desert. The emphasis is on the kids, who are kidnaped by elephant poachers. This activity is counterpointed with the adventures of the film's "civilized" characters, transplanted New York attorney Lena

...it's hard not to get a kick out of watching a character battle over a cup of water with a baboon.

With any 'strike while the iron's hot' example of sequel moviemaking, you're bound to trudge through a lot of familiarity in order to find the few worthwhile moments.

1988 sequel to the international hit of the early '80s mars all the outrageous humor the original was loaded with, and replaces it with silly, nonsensical gags that rarely succeed at eliciting laughter.Did THE GODS MUST BE CRAZY need a sequel? That's a tough question to answer. At the end, it's easy to see how it
