3.0 out of 5 stars A pretty good adventure, worth seeing., April 18, 2000

This review is from: Lion of Africa [VHS] (VHS Tape)

Gods Must Be Crazy, Out Of Africa, or Hatari, it ain't. What it is, instead, is a good and fun adventure in Kenya. Brian Denehey is terrific as the stubborn-old-coot-safari-guy. It has moments of charm and wild abandon. The cinematography is excellent. You'll love just watching the African scenery go by. The story leaves something to be desired. But, on the whole, it's a pretty good movie.

4.0 out of 5 stars For any Brian Dennehy Fan, December 31, 2001

This review is from: Lion of Africa [VHS] (VHS Tape)

I have been a fan of Brian Dennehy since I first saw him in Foul Play. I have watched everything he has been in. The Lion in Africa was a great movie because for once he played a hero, had a love interest, and got the girl at the end. With the exception of the Little Mermaid and the Belly of an Architect - I have enjoyed everything he has been in. Lion in Africa, however, is my favorite and I can watch it over and over again. I wish he would do more movies like this.

3.0 out of 5 stars A "Fun" Movie, April 21, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: Lion of Africa [VHS] (VHS Tape)

No, it isn't high theater but it is a good movie to sit down in front of with a big bowl of popcorn, a cold beer and maybe the lady in your life for an enjoyable weekend afternoon diversion.

Brian Dennehy has the "borderline obnoxious but deep down you know there's a heart of gold" character down pat and he plays it to the hilt here. The scenery is great, particularly if you're stuck inside on a cloudy, rainy day.

A good, fun flick.
