I saw the movie "The Gods Must be Crazy" before I saw any reviews of the
movie.  I thoroughly enjoyed it for what it was.  A romantic, adventure-
comedy set in Africa.  The lead actor is a bumbling Chevy Chase-type
researcher and the lead actress is a teacher moved from the city.  I
laughed most of the time.  On the other hand, a review that I read in
a liberal weekly newspaper called the movie patronizing and racist.
I can see where that reviewer was coming from, but this movie is so
unusual and unpretentious (unlike our Hollywood fare), that I would
highly recommend it.
