Zoo Rangers in Africa - eläintarhakytät Afrikassa

Eight kids working in a Dutch zoo enter an exchange program and set off for Africa. Once there everything goes terribly wrong, but of course our kids survive. This film is aimed at an audience of kids from 8 to 14 years of age, I would say. And these will certainly enjoy the film to the full. For older kids and adults the holes in the plot are too big. Dealing with wild African animals as lions, elephants and baboons is something that entirely fails: all animals are well trained and well behaved and do not act like wild animals at all. Not AT ALL. Some actors are not very good, but overall the acting is quite acceptable. The photography however is excellent and worthy of the best Dutch cameramen, like Jan de Bont, who later became a renounced director. In all: an enjoyable film and adults should judge this film by the standards of the public it is made for. Don't be ashamed to feel childish from time to time!
