You Must Be Joking! Too

About This Movie

So, 'You Must Be Joking! Too' is quite the interesting watch. Leon Schuster, in his usual comedic style, takes on the role of a filmmaker embroiled in a hilarious mess involving a rival who’s literally stealing his ideas. The tone is light, but there’s this undercurrent of tension with the whole blackmail subplot involving his girlfriend. The pacing has this playful rhythm, which keeps you engaged, and the practical effects add a nice touch of authenticity to the gags. It has that quirky charm typical of Schuster's work, but it also provides a deeper look at creativity and competition. If you’re into local South African cinema, this one definitely stands out.

This film has a bit of a niche following, especially among collectors of South African cinema. It was released on VHS and later on DVD, but finding a good quality copy can be tricky. The scarcity factor definitely adds to its charm. Schuster's films have their own distinct vibe that resonates with certain collectors, making this a notable piece for those interested in comedy and local film history.
