Not good enough for a Razzie, 7 July 2003
3/10
Author: George Parker from Orange County, CA USA

"Africa" is a drama which is sooooo bad it's funny. The film is about a blonde babe/model who is driving somewhere near Johannesburg, S.A. when her car overturns rendering her unconscious. When she comes to, she takes off in her miniskirt across the African wilderness instead of staying by the road (duh) and hitching home. After that, the film becomes and odyssey of survival where our cute little protag has to eat bugs and run from lions and all that exciting stuff. If you can swallow that premise, then maybe you have a chance of swallowing the whole horribly directed sham of a flick which follows. A real stinkeroo!! (D)
