Krippendorf's Tribe (1998)

After squandering his grant money, despondent and recently widowed anthropologist James Krippendorf must produce hard evidence of the existence of a heretofore undiscovered New Guinea tribe. Grass skirts, makeup, and staged rituals transform his three troubled children into the Shelmikedmu, a primitive culture whose habits enthrall scholars. But when a spiteful rival threatens to blow the whistle on Krippendorf's ruse, he gets into the act as well.

Look at Richard Dreyfuss on the poster, weep for him, and then rent something else.

The plot sounded mildly interesting, but it turned out to be monumentally dull instead. The family was ready for it to be over about half way through. The "Shelmikedmu tribe" was not credible in any way and to believe that other scholars would buy into this load of dung is to insult intelligence in a major way. Although there were no laughs, a couple cute scenes and a half-naked Elfman saved this from being a complete waste of time.

Pretty lame comedy stuff with Dreyfuss leading family misadventures. Sophomoric.

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!

Quite how we're expected to swallow the idea that a collection of eminent anthropologists would be fooled by Richard Dreyfuss' wife and kids running around a middle american suburb in grass skirts is beyond me, but he's his usual likeable self in an inconsequential but inoffensive family comedy.
