Chicago Sun-Times
Uys's style sheds a sweet and gentle light on this new comedy, which is a sequel to the surprising international success - and, I think, a better film. - 75
Washington Post
In these days of overproduced overstatement, of totally awesome turtle power and other toxic gimcracks, The Gods Must Be Crazy II feels like a vacation, a sort of enlightened Wild Kingdom. - 70
Variety
Jamie Uys has concocted a genial sequel to his 1981 international sleeper hit The Gods must Be Crazy that is better than its progenitor in most respects. - 63
Washington Post
You'll probably have some laughs along the way in spite of your better instincts. - 63
Chicago Reader
Uys's juggling of the separate yet interlocking plotlines is fairly adroit, and his whimsy continues to be good humored, although once again it's purchased with a sentimental and complacent view of African life designed to flatter the viewer. - 60
TV Guide Magazine
Despite a few dull spots and a certain amount of predictability, The Gods Must Be Crazy II delivers enough laughs and does it with enough charm to be worthwhile viewing, especially for fans of the first film. - 50
Boston Globe
No less than the first film, this new effort is both disarmingly sweet and politically appalling. [13 Apr 1990, p.48p] - 40
Los Angeles Times
The wonder is that anything in a country this exotic, full of such potential wonder, could be made this enervating.
