   A truly memorable funny and unforgettable comedy

   At last I have watched a comedy movie which made me laugh from start
   until finish virtually non stop. I don't know this Leon Custer actor
   guy and I have never heard of Mr Bones 1. In fact, I only bought Mr
   Bones 2 on DVD this week because I walked into a DVD store and I saw 10
   people watching a preview and laughing at the movie.

   wow, what a wonderful funny and even romantic movie! I am not being
   sarcastic by saying that if you don't mind this movie, there must be
   something wrong with you. after all the American and even British
   comedies lately which aren't remotely lately, this movie is a breath of
   fresh air, make no mistake.

   it reminds me vaguely of crocodile Dundee when he visited new York all
   these years ago (Paul Hogan) but this is even more zany but with a
   wonderful but not overdone love story. All the scenes fit well into the
   movie and are very very funny indeed – the parrot in the kitchen, the
   under-arrest at the near beginning, the dildo scenes, the King and the
   'door' scenes, the King and Bones at the hospital and at the fancy
   dress party, so so much indeed to commend.

   On top of so much about South Africa this year, this is truly
   fantastic. It also serves as a blessing to bring black and white
   together in one story and involving the Indian community as well, I
   just couldn't stop laughing.

   Personally, I think its worthy of Oscar nomination, its an outrageous
   contention but the acting is terrific, the story is progressive and
   never exaggerated and the film is a comedy, so it should be funny – and
   it definitely is. The let down is the swearing by the parrot and the
   dildo innuendos but they are vague in the extreme and any child
   watching this I don't think will be in any way offended. There is
   nothing sexual in the movie and if it wasn't for the swearing, I would
   definitely score this movie a 10 because it sets out to do what most
   movies fail to do – entertain and make us enjoy watching the movie.

   I watched that Austrian guy in Bruno and other similar stuff, just
   garbage. yes, this film is very very silly but this is escapism and
   adventure and fun and sheer delight and I warmed to this as I did to
   'My name is Khan' earlier this year.

   Thank you South Africa and Mr Director for bringing us such a wonderful
   heart warming movie. My kids have watched it, my neighbours have, my
   maids and even my ex-wife and other friends, I don't understand if
   released in 2008 in South Africa, why just released worldwide.

   The only 2010 film I can compare with is Jackie Chans 'Spy next Door'
   but this is a much better made film overall. Few comedies make me laugh
   but this one touched a nerve. And don't overlook the closing sequences
   either, all part of the package!

   It's just the same crude, slapstick-stained stuff as before

   MR BONES 2: BACK FROM THE PAST with Leon Schuster, Tongayi Chirisa,
   Leeanda Reddy and Alfred Ntombela, directed by Gray Hofmeyr. Rating: 2
   out of 10.

   THE new Leon Shuster flick doesn't try to reinvent the wheel; it simply
   serves up the same crude, scatological, slapstick-stained low-brow
   humour the popular comedian has been depositing on an adoring public
   for years. This sequel to the most successful South African film ever,
   "Mr Bones " – which grossed over R33 million in our country, will
   probably do quite well at the box-office. But that doesn't excuse the
   fact it's not a very good film – or that it substitutes ring sting,
   blows to the crotch and flatulence for genuine wit. The story revolves
   around sangoma, Mr Bones (Schuster), and his king, Hekule of Kuvukiland
   (Tongayi Chirisa), who must travel into the future and save their world
   after the king is given a cursed gemstone by a dying Indian man during
   the long gone days when the British Empire still had it's claws in our
   continent. Naturally, havoc ensues when the two tribesman – who don't
   even know how what a flush toilet is – land up in modern day Durban and
   try to return the cursed stone to its rightful resting place. I've
   enjoyed some of Mr Shuster's movies (eg "Sweet and Short" and "Zulu on
   My Stoep") and I have laughed at many of his candid camera gags, but
   "Mr Bones 2: Back from the Past" didn't have me rolling in the aisles.
   In fact, I barely chuckled (apart from at Alfred Ntombela, who is
   always good for a giggle) and found that it dragged. Besides, the plot
   is ripped off from the far superior, Jean Reno-starring French film,
   "Le Visiteurs", and the acting is terrible. However, don't let these
   comments stop you from seeing it. Perhaps my funny-bone was out of
   order, or maybe my tastes are simply to high-brow. After-all, Leon
   Schuster is a South African institution. But then again, so are Jacob
   Zuma and Julius Malema, and they aren't that funny anymore. Perhaps, as
   a nation, we get the humour, the politicians and the fart-jokes we
   deserve. Is this film going to be the biggest hit of the holiday
   season. Or will reason prevail?
