To me, this movie is perfection.
Powerful
Good , But It Is Overrated By Some
Unshakable, witty and deeply felt, the film will be paying emotional dividends for a long, long time.
When my sister gave me this movie to watch, I just thought it would be 'just another manageable movie'. I was dead wrong! It was very, very funny. The plot was well laid. One thing led to another and then another. It started with an oraclist that was a white man (Mr Bones). He had been lost in Africa and had been adopted by an African king. The king had no son and desperately needed one. Mr Bones was then sent to the 'sun city' to bring home the king's son that the oracle showed existed. Mr Bones arrived at the city and mistakenly assumed the king's son was Vince Lee (a superstar golf player) who happened to be at the city at that point in time. Mr Bones was pretty sure he was the prince because he was called "the prince" by his fans. Upon meeting Mr Bones, Vince Lee called him a 'bone head' and this made Mr Bones even more sure that this was indeed the prince since he already knew his name. All in all this movie was really a very enjoyable one. You never stop laughing throughout the movie. You've got to see this.
I lived in South Africa for 8 years and this film is basically typical Afrikaans humour. In other words, toilet humour. Usually, I have nothing against toilet humour, but in Mr Bones it is done very poorly. 'There's a Zulu on My Stoep' is side splitting when compared to this trash. How is bird crap funny? Kids will find the humour to their liking, but thats about it.
Unfortunately I had to see the movie in a sneak preview, about 100 people were leaving after 20 minutes.the movie is not funny, the actors are horrible and the plot is too!!!
I went to a sneak preview last week, where i saw Mr. bones. I didn't know that this movie would be shown. At the beginning i thought that it could be quite funny but i was completely wrong on that. It was so bad i couldn't help laughing about the fact that such a movie is even produced. Leon Schuster combines bad acting with a ridiculous story and even the jokes are not worth a smile. They are limited on people getting hammered down by excrements of several animals. 1 out of 10
