    A fantastic mix of documentary and subtle comedy. From 1975 and still holds up. Great fun! Baboons are madmen.

    would recommend it for viewing by all ages . . . its an ageless movie . . . its ninety minutes has taken the crew more than ninety month to film, a rare peek into the african wildlife.

    The creators of 'The Gods Must be Crazy' offer quite possibly one of the most original and hilarious wildlife documentaries ever put to film. This little gem will make you laugh, cry and wonder at the creatures of the Namib Desert as it compares their behaviour to humans even to ...( read more)the point of getting drunk and dealing with hangovers. Classical music provides a soothing backdrop to the unexpected and unusual predicaments the animals are shown in, some of which has rarely been seen before. This is great film for the whole family but before you settle down, it might not be a bad idea to throw out any fermenting fruit!
