A weird, enchanting, utterly original movie.

Film's main virtues are its striking, widescreen visuals of unusual locations, and the sheer educational value of its narration.

Offensively racist and too gormless even for the kids at whom it is evidently aimed: Third World cinema of a quite... uncommon kind.

The issue of existence, and how we define it, has been explored before, but never in a funnier -- or more poignant -- fashion than South African director Jamie Uys does it here.
