Watch: Krippendorf’s Tribe 1998 123movies, Full Movie Online – A university professor is paid to find the last undiscovered tribe of New Guinea. When he fails to find the tribe, he comes home, and rather than admitting that he’s failed, he gives a lecture about the Shelmikedmu tribe (named after his children: Shelly, Mike, and Edmund) and then has his family dress like “Shelmikedmus,” so that he can film them as proof of his discovery..
Plot: After squandering his grant money, despondent and recently widowed anthropologist James Krippendorf must produce hard evidence of the existence of a heretofore undiscovered New Guinea tribe. Grass skirts, makeup, and staged rituals transform his three troubled children into the Shelmikedmu, a primitive culture whose habits enthrall scholars. But when a spiteful rival threatens to blow the whistle on Krippendorf’s ruse, he gets into the act as well.

Smooth Deception? Hardly. But An Enjoyable Endeavor All The Same.
Richard Dreyfus. An anthropologist creates a fake New Guinea tribe to further his career.This sounded like it would be painful to watch, and in some places, it is just that. but overall, this bears an endearing tone, and a genuine humor, which consistently colors the work, throughout.
Dreyfus’s character, Krippendorf, is a frantic/manic anthropologist who tries to seem as though he is calm and collected, on the surface of the deception he has laid. Dreyfus is a phenomenal actor, who needs another Jaws/Close Encounters to revitalize his career. I wonder if Spielberg is listening? His performances come off as direct projections from the heart, no matter how low the budget they allow him, or what horrendous costars they saddle him with.
This work features a quirky story line with quirky subplots, and quirky characters, but none as enigmatic as Krippendorf himself.
This is a great way to spend a couple of hours, but as a Disney movie? Disney rewrites known history to suit its ends, and usually does so with great panache, but the return to ethnocentrism is potentially damaging to the field of anthropology. However, if you can suspend belief, which you must do to enjoy any Disney movie, then you may find the enjoyment from it that I did, but as usual, I’m in the minority.
It rates a 7.1/10 from…

Complete Fun
This is complete fun. Richard Dreyfuss does an excellent job of playing the harried unkempt professor of anthropology. Mr. Dreyfuss has complete control of the script and all his supporting actors give him their best support. And what a cast! Check this out:Lily Tomlin …. Ruth Allen
Natasha Lyonne …. Shelly Krippendorf
David Ogden Stiers …. Henry Spivey
Jenna Elfman …. Veronica Micelli
Mila Kunis …. Abbey Tournquist (Mila Kunis has a bit part but was obviously the cutest one on the entire set. 🙂
Gregory Smith …. Mickey Krippendorf (Kudos go out to this rising star b/c he did an excellent job as the son supporting his father.)
BTW, I was laughing in places where there were only physical comedy. Dreyfuss is completely hilarious. 9/10
