Well, we do seem to get the films we deserve and, although all the critics hate this film, the South African public (the target audience Leon and Gray were aiming at) loved it. Seeing as how this is a business, I guess public win over high-brow critics .......... Well done Leon and'all !!!!!!!

The sequel to South Africa’s previously highest ever grossing local film, Mr Bones, has superseded the record set by that film [which was released in 2001] and earned R33,062,468 in a period of five weeks.

The South African public obviously have no taste in movies. This was utter rubbish.

I agree. nearly as bad as every single television show ever produced for the BBC since 1990.

Good Taste is a matter of opinion.

It's a COMEDY for Gawd's sake! I'd never heard of the first one when I saw the second one and I thought it was one of the best pieces of slapstick I've seen since the Three Stooges.

Lighten up and take things for what they are. You can't treat a comedy movie seriously, that's a laugh in itself. Go along with it and it's an absolute riot. Go in there expecting to see Malcolm X part 2 and of course you're gonna be disappointed.

Me, I can't wait for Bones 3!! I think that lot could do a WONDERFUL send-up of something like Raiders of the Lost Ark.

Yours
