----------------- Schuster is back - as Mama Jack! This star-studded, hysterical film fueled by Schuster's comedic mayhem navigates the world of film.
Jack Theron is a grip for the film industry. While working on a film about Madiba, John, the American director takes such a dislike to Jack that he spikes his drink at a high-profile function. As a result, Jack unwittingly offends all the dignitaries, ruins the function, and is now on the run from the police.
In desperation, he turns to his make-up artist friend, Shorty, for help and emerges as the big, busty, and black, Mama Jack. Through a series of evasive tactics, Mama is soon employed by the producer's fiancée and falls in love with her.
A series of deceptions and misunderstandings ensue with predictable hilarity.

Mama Jack has got to be one of the funniest films I have seen, especially since it has personal appeal to me (seeing as I live in South Africa).
It is an enjoyable family movie, yet it contains humor/references that will only be found funny by people who have been around a bit longer...
Although English subtitles are provided for all of the snippets of Afrikaans & Xhosa that are spoken/heard during the movie, a lot of the humor will be lost on someone that has got no idea concerning the South African background against which this is set. However, there is enough movie to stir everyone up to enjoy a good laugh.
Go see this movie, expect a comical, slightly predictable, very funny movie, and you won't be disappointed!
