Review of by Eric On His Fantasy Quest V — 13 Sep 2007

As what the movie poster says, "Krippendorf's Tribe" is wildly hilarious. And when I say wildly hilarious, it's hilarious in a tribal way, practiced by indigenous tribes and unknown to the outside world.

Professor Krippendorf is paid by the university to find a lost New Guinea tribe. He failed, so in order to keep his job, Krippendorf invents his fake Shelmikedmu tribe- named for his kids Shelly, Mike, and Edmund as it sounds perfect for the lost tribe- and captures them (the professor and his children) on film at home as proof his discovery.

Some parts of this movie made me laugh, especially the Shelmikedmu customs practiced. That was a great comedy movie!
