VHS Movie Reviews of Jit
Movie Review: IN-CRE-DI-BLE
Summary: 5 Stars
I saw this movie for the first time from that video rental place. It was the best movie of the year to me. I have viewed over two thousand (2000) movies. The story is well written, simple and easy to understand albeit the accents may be difficult for virgin English ears. Its simplicity is partly what adds to its appeal. It is fun to watch and you will find yourself engrossed and on the floor dancing to the beats. I own the soundtract, too. however, it doesn't have the tract that was played after UK talks to Sofi's father and asks for her hand. That was a hauntingly inspiring piece. Get and/or Watch this for your greatest pleasure. You will be pleased!!!Movie Review: Light hearted love story set to awesome music
Summary: 4 Stars
If youf your spirits need a lift, Jit will put a sparkle in your eye! It is the story of U.K, a young fellow (Zimbabwe) who tries to raise money for the bride price of the girl he loves. Because he is hard-working and industrious, this would all be easy enough were it not for the beer-guzzling incestral spirit (jukwa), who continues to thwart his plans, getting him fired from every job he finds! There is also the fact the the beatiful young lady is being courted by the richest guy in town. Through it all, U.K. keeps a good attitude and a sense of humor that kept me laughing the whole time. The film gets off to a bit of a slow start, but quickly picks up the pace. The showcases great up-beat music called Jit, which accounts for the name of the film. Jit is a wonderful addition to any video library.
Summary of Jit
The first feature film from Zimbabwe is an old-fashioned romantic comedy, perfectly spiced by its sunny, exotic climate and soul-satisfying music. The irresistible beat of African jit-jive reflects the fun-loving spirit of UK, an optimistic youth determined to win the heart of Sofi, a stately beauty closely guarded by her gangster boyfriend. UK's efforts to make Sofi his bride are hilariously hindered by Jukwa, a pesty ancestral spirit who wants UK to look after his aging parents--and keep her supplied with beer! Winning characters and performances make for a cheerful fantasy that's pure fun.General Video
