Slapstick and poking fun at racial stereotypes, 14 June 2002
8/10
Author: ray from salzburg, austria

I saw Mr. bones at a "Sneak Preview" where they have shown films such as "Big Trouble", "One Night at McCool's", "Tomcats", "Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back" or "The Animal" (with Rob Schneider) previously.

If you did enjoy some of the movies mentioned above - which I admit I did [despite of the lousy ratings they have received], cauz they made me laugh -- and life is just too serious outside the movies after all; and as long as you don't mind some elephants' excrements being shown, then your money and time is not wasted at all.

Aside from the fun aspect - and without immersing to deep into the field of mass media theory: I found it quite remarkable, that this sort of movie would be made in the former apartheid-state South Africa: a white "witch doctor", a black pro golfer ... Mr. Bones reminded me of the books by Tom Sharpe (who got kicked out of RSA while it still was an apartheid-state) which on the average get 8 out of 10 from me as well.
