- Synopsis:
This wildly funny hit comedy stars Richard Dreyfuss as an anthropologist who discovers that primitive culture is as close as your own backyard. Instead of discovering a lost tribe in New Guinea for his research grant, Professor James Krippendorf has blown the last two years...and all $100,000 of the money...rearing his out-of-control kids! Now desperate to bluff his way past growing suspicions and impatient colleagues, including a leggy blonde after his own heart (sexy Jenna Elfman), Krippendorf quickly assembles native-looking huts in his backyard and films the most primitive group he can find: his dysfunctional family. But when a doubting professor travels to New Guinea to expose his as a fraud, the laughs spin outrageously out of control all the way to the uncivilized conclusion in Krippendorf's Tribe. - Actors:
