It isn't all that great, actually. Really cheesy and very predicable of how certain scenes are gonna turn play out. However, I guess that's the charm of it all, because I would consider this one of my guilty pleasures.

It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.

This movie feels like it was made purely to piss off people who want good shows

I thought the movie rock. What made it even better was to watch my kids aged 8 and 10 enjoy the film.Everything was kept simple and the good, clean humor, despite some crude jokes, was put in place in a way the whole family can enjoy. Well Done! This movie has got a place in my collection.I was disappointed in the overall rating but since some of the finer humor is hidden in cultural differences, it is understandable that some folks might not get the whole picture.And I have to say that it was masterly achieved.

OK, so it's not Bob Newhart, more like Red Skelton. But I think you'll like it.The running jokes about poop were inexplicably funny. Your 10-year-old son will find them hilarious. The roles are broadly written, almost stereotypical, but the acting isn't bad, the plot line is ingenious, the scenery is terrific, the slapstick inspired. I'm no student of cinema, but the craftsmanship in making the film looks pretty good to me. Camera work seemed quite good. Your young daughters might get a complex about the movie's premise, or you might use the movie to talk with them about foolish preferences for male children around the world.A fine little movie, one that'll leave a smile on your face.

When my sister gave me this movie to watch, I just thought it would be 'just another manageable movie'. I was dead wrong! It was very, very funny. The plot was well laid. One thing led to another and then another. It started with an oraclist that was a white man (Mr Bones). He had been lost in Africa and had been adopted by an African king. The king had no son and desperately needed one. Mr Bones was then sent to the 'sun city' to bring home the king's son that the oracle showed existed. Mr Bones arrived at the city and mistakenly assumed the king's son was Vince Lee (a superstar golf player) who happened to be at the city at that point in time. Mr Bones was pretty sure he was the prince because he was called "the prince" by his fans. Upon meeting Mr Bones, Vince Lee called him a 'bone head' and this made Mr Bones even more sure that this was indeed the prince since he already knew his name. All in all this movie was really a very enjoyable one. You never stop laughing throughout the movie. You've got to see this.

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.
