Comic thrills from South Africa

FISHY STONES is another South African film made for black audiences, featuring popular stars like Innocent 'Popo' Gumede and Hector Manthanda. The story is about a couple of bumbling thieves who are introduced in a car chase. They've just stolen a stash of priceless diamonds and are being pursued by the police, so they decide to hide the diamonds in the bush and come back to them later. Unfortunately for them, a group of local campers might just get there first...

The story has shades of classic British comedy films like THE BIG JOB although obviously this is a far more basic kind of story. The acting is adequate and little use is made of some of the fantastic locations that the crew obviously had access to. Where FISHY STONES does stand out is in the enhanced level of comedy in the story; there's plenty of humour here, a lot of it stemming from the dumb sidekick character, and it does work and lifts the story out of the doldrums somewhat.
