About This Movie

Urban Safari (1995) is a quirky comedy that brings a delightful mix of chaos and absurdity. The Johnsons, in their earnest attempt to blend in with the elite of New York City, spin a web of lies about a grand African safari. The pacing has this delightful ebb and flow - moments of frenetic energy paired with quiet, comedic pauses that let the absurdity breathe. The performances, while perhaps not award-winning, bring a certain charm; you can’t help but feel for these hapless characters as they juggle unexpected guests and absurd situations. It’s not just about the laughs; there’s this undercurrent of exploring identity and the lengths people go to impress others. The practical effects and set designs have a certain rawness that adds to its offbeat vibe, making it a unique entry in the comedy genre.
