My Least Favorite Film: The Gods Must Be Crazy

I tried to watch this entire movie, really I did. 

Actually that is a complete lie. 


I have such a knee-jerk nauseous reaction to this movie that if I walk into the room and hear the condescending narration, I do an about face and march in the opposite direction. It starts out as a self important documentary with cloying music, much like an episode of Knight Rider. Then it points to itself and says “Oh the cleverness of me!” 


But wait, there’s more. Just in case the viewer might miss the cleverness, the narrator describes it in complete detail while it is happening. The film is insulting to the viewer and to the participants and makes me want to go on a long journey to throw it over a precipice.
