YOUR RATING

When retired cop Harry Curtin (Wayne Crawford - Jake Speed) arrives in Africa, he thinks he's been hired to bodyguard someone big and important. But city slicker Harry soon discovers his new client is even bigger than he thought. It's a 2,000 pound black rhinoceros that is threatened by dangerous poachers.
Harry's first reaction is to quit and go home, but something about the hauntingly magical African bush beckons him to stay and do the right thing. Encouraged by Father Bob, a local missionary, (William Katt - Greatest American Hero) and a determined conservationist (former Miss South Africa Diana Tilden Davis) to use his detective skills, Harry teams up with a local wise man and a reserve full of majestic animals to catch the poachers and create a little magic of their own.
U'BEJANI is a whimsical adventure that promotes positive thinking, believing in oneself and the love of nature. Entertainment for the entire family.

Great movie for kids!

I'm in my early twenties, so by all accounts, I am not the target demographic for this movie. But I just watched it with my young cousin. First of all, the little dude loved it, so even if I'd hated it I couldn't give it a bad review. But the thing is, to my surprise I didn't hate it.

There are a few laughs there for older people that will probably fly over kids' heads, and the main character Harry is a former homicide detective from New York or somewhere which was pretty sweet. There are even a few light action scenes with Harry that were cool.

There are interesting actors in there too: Diana Tilden-Davis plays a hot park ranger. I looked her up and she was a beauty queen in Africa. Also, if you're a CARRIE fan, William Katt has a pretty big role as a plane flying priest.

The most important review though, and the reason I'm writing this, is that my little cousin loved the thing, and if you can entertain an eight year old for an hour and a half you're doing all right!
