Despite vastly different cultures, two high school students form a lasting friendship. By accepting their differences, they discover how much they have in common.

I just had to say that my sister and I watched this movie about ten million times when we were young and we loved it every time. We watched it again recently and it was even better than we remembered. Temba and Tulani rock my world and Jason Blicker puts in a solid performance as Luke Novak, from Canada. This film explores the issues that Luke (Jason Blicker), a young canadian, experiences when he is sent to Africa for the summer to visit his dad.

This film touches on themes such as divorce, collapsing mine shafts, poachers who strand Luke and Temba in a tree, fun with dirt bikes, and getting in trouble for having repeated crushes on Tulani. For all those A.J. fans out there, I have one thing to say, and one thing only: "You have to learn to shake, like an African." Jen Amazon.com Review
