The God's Must be Crazy - 7

This movie is hilarious. Part cultural anthropology and mostly all physical comedy. It follows a few story lines. The introduction is in the form of documenting a desert tribe in Botswana and the tribes encounter with a Coke bottle and how it influences their society. The second story is about a Guerilla group trying to take over the government. The third story involves a British naturalist studying the wildlife and his encounter with a volunteer school teacher. The three stories soon collide in hilarious ways. Made in 1980 in South Africa, this film is as funny and relevant today as it was when it was made. The commentary on civilization/society is really funny and mostly right on. I would definitely recommend seeing this film.
