What Works?
- The movie is magical! Its comedy sparkles, its characters captivate, its treatment is interesting & its message is BIG! So, cheers to Jamie Uys, its maker.
- The bushman N!xau gives a picture of how human race would be if societies hadn 't got a chance to interact! He is adorable!
- The scenes between Steyn and the teacher Ms. Thompson is a laugh riot! Adding to the humour is the bearded aide of Steyn.
- The narrative works & the hyper-speed visuals shown at times works too!
- Crazy scenes such as the Jeep taking to the tree, the tree bending when a Lion tries to get the bearded man are sure to get a laugh out of the stern-faced too!
