Product Description
This outrageous comedy stars Richard Dreyfuss (MR. HOLLAND'S OPUS) and sexy Jenna Elfman (TV's DHARMA AND GREG), who discover that primitive culture is as close as your own backyard! Instead of documenting a previously unknown trible in New Guinea, Professor James Krippendorf (Dreyfuss) has blown the last two years ... and all his grant money ... rearing his out-of-control kids! Desperate to bluff his way past impatient colleagues, Krippendorf decides to focus his camera on the wildest tribe he can find: his own outragoues offspring! With a top cast including Lily Tomlin (DISNEY'S THE KID) -- you'll find the crowd-pleasing lengths taken to pull off this hoax absolutely hilarious!

5.0 out of 5 stars ABSOLUTELY a must for anyone wanting to laugh, August 25, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Krippendorf's Tribe [VHS] (VHS Tape)

This movie is spontaneous, energizing, fast-paced and funny. You really 'get into' what is going on and the more you let your mind be open the more you will Laugh. We recently tried a new wine and, of course, could not stop laughing about scenes in the movie. This is the type of movie that makes life fun. Superb acting!!

5.0 out of 5 stars Totally different movie - great for an enjoyable evening., March 16, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Krippendorf's Tribe [VHS] (VHS Tape)

I saw this movie not really knowing what to expect. I was amused and kept on the edge of my seat. I was not expecting anything of the stars and, evidently, that's what you need - an open mind. Since I have seen this in the theater I have anxiously awaited the release of it in home video - which I purchased right away. If you want a nice, funny, laid back movie - this is it.

5.0 out of 5 stars People just don't know humor when they hear it..., June 21, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: Krippendorf's Tribe [VHS] (VHS Tape)

As much as I don't care for Dreyfuss or Elfman, I really enjoyed this movie, and thats a shocker to everyone who knows me because I walked into the theater with my once normal "everything [is bad]" attitude; If I can think something's funny, anyone can. Do yourself a favor, ignore the cynical reviews everyone else says, THIS IS FUNNY STUFF!!
