Schuks Tshabalala’s Survival Guide to South Africa 2010

Leon Schuster is back and set to rake in more millions from the South African public. Whether we like it or not, there’s a reason why he’s so successful: he makes the majority of the population laugh so hard that they cry, and he does this simply by making fun of us as a nation. This movie is no different.

In a return to his candid-camera style, Schuster manages to p-off everyone from Helen Zille to fishermen in the Cape. He gets klapped, gets into trouble and once again paints his face black, thus offending a number of other people. I guess I must accept that Schuster is in fact a part of our collective South African culture, and admit that sometimes he can be fairly amusing. More than this I cannot do – besides hope that one day we learn to appreciate movies of more substance with the same vigour.

Rating: 3 outta 5.
