46KDie Götter müssen verrückt sein II: Directed by Jamie Uys. With N!xau, Lena Farugia, Hans Strydom, Eiros. 6 people comically meet in the Kalahari desert: a female NYC lawyer flying with a local zoologist/pilot in a mini-plane, a Cuban and an African soldier taking each other POW, a Boer elephant poacher and a bushman looking for his 2 children.
“This sequel is definitely not as insightful about the nature of man as the original, but thereu0026#39;re still more than enough slapsticks, romance and family drama to make up for it.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThe two children are particularly adorable, their strength comes from their innocence, without the precocity that has become the hallmark of Hollywood. Their storyline is thus the most heart-warming of all.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThe two soldiers from opposing forces provide much of the slapstick of movie, and they are very good, with exceptionally funny facial expressions.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eAnd let¡¯s not count Lena Farugia and Hans Strydom out, who play a doctor of law from New York and a zoologist on assignment ¨C their opposite-attract romance is rather stereotypical but Lena in particular is such a charming delight that I forget how much Strydom looks like Tom Selleck, instead, wonder why Lena had not since made another movie – yes, really sad 🙁 – she could¡¯ve been a big star.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eSo in the end, one very funny little film, worth every penny and more to rent or buy. Keep some band-aids with you while watching, as you may get some stitches in your side.”
