Avg Customer Rating: 
Product Description: Three separate story lines set in Africa eventually come together in this 1980 film by Jamie Uys. (The film wasn't released in the U.S., where it became a huge hit, until 1984.) Story one involves a bushman whose discovery of a Coke bottle causes consternation among his tribe, story two concerns an awkward romance between a clumsy scientist and a sweet schoolteacher, and the third plot involves a group of terrorists on the run. Slapstick, satire, romance, violence--it's all here in a somewhat bumpy but entertaining movie. --Tom Keogh

Charming, hilarious and romantic
I first saw "The Gods Must be Crazy" back in 1988 when it had just been released. It remains, for me, one of the funniest, most charming and sweetly romantic movies of all time. It takes place in and around Botswana in Southern Africa. To an initial narrative slightly on the lines of The Hitch Hikers Guide to the Universe, which the movie resembles not one bit, otherwise, it launches off with an empty coca cola bottle being thrown out of a light plane flying over the Kalahari (which is located mainly in the central and south western part of Botswana). This object is found by a native Bushman who has never seen a coca coal bottle - or any bottle for that matter - takes this back to his tribe where it becomes almost a totem, so useful does it turn out to be from holding liquid to pounding roots for their water. They start to squabble over it and when someone gets struck by it the bushman who found it is sent to take away this evil thing which has brought strife to their peaceful existence and drop it off the edge of the world. Meanwhile in the neighbouring country, the most inept coup d'etat is taking place (excruciatingly funny in places), fails, and the ringleaders escape across the border. Meanwhile a new teacher, an escapee from the City, is coming to a village and is being met by a very shy botanist in a landrover without any brakes.... all three story lines combine cleverly and all ends happily and it concludes with one of the funniest and most romantic sequences in any movie that I have seen. Totally delightful.

The Gods Must Be Crazy
DRAGS A LITTLE IN THE BEGINNING BECAUSE THEY ARE SETTING UP THE BACKGROUND,
BUT WELL WORTH THE WAIT. ON A SCALE OF ONE TO FIVE, I GIVE IT 4.5 BELLY LAUGHS.

The Evil Thing
The Gods Must Be Crazy DVD
The Gods Must Be Crazy is a delightfully funny movie. It is about an African bushman who discovers an empty Coca Cola bottle that has been thrown from an airplane and the Bushman believes that anything that comes from the sky must be from the Gods. He has no idea what it is or what its purpose is. He eventually starts calling it "the evil thing" when his family wants to use it for themselves and squabbles develop. There are several side stories, as well. This makes you wonder how much "civilization "has improved our lives.
All in all a funny movie. Recommended for the entire Family.
