Review
Finally! the kind of meat-and-potatoes movie the old Hollywood  system used to make when the studio heads cracked the whip and actors were told who to date. Director Cosby ("The Love Bug" "Hadrian The Seventh") adapts dessicated Scots landcrab Ewan McGregor's "African Typing Pool" novels into a joyous feast for the whole family. While Africanish people still are not allowed to write about themselves, it's good to see that they have been allowed "behind the camera." Congrats to the Great White Suit who greenlighted this one!

Maybe, just this once, I'll be allowed to usher in my Mrs. Butterworth's syrup under my hoodie to watch a film. God bless you, AJ.
