For Candid Camera fans only!, 14 April 2005
7/10
Author: grant-108 from United Kingdom

Ferociously dated now, but when I saw it in a small french cinema in 1983 I rated it as the funniest thing I'd ever seen. I was literally crying with laughter at some of it. Some of the setups are lame beyond belief, but others are quite outstanding. Setting it in South Africa means that reactions are very different, and often hysterical. Likely to appeal only to people 40+ in age, who liked Candid Camera. Showed a DVD of it to my parents recently, and they loved it!

Best set-ups include: "Man" stuck inside a tiny postbox; 2 blokes trying to get a huge wardrobe through automatic doors (sounds awful, but is actually brilliant); cake assembly line (you'd have to see it); and a (now hugely non PC) ticking suitcase...
