My family loves this movie. It is a comedy, and you can't help but laugh at the stupidity. My family has done some mission work on the Navajo reservation. I tried to study up on native culture before visiting the reservation, but the books were mostly based on old history and a more primitive culture. In reality, although with a great and unique heritage, the people I met are just like me. The kids I worked with were everyday kids just like the boy in this movie. So I laughed when the protagonist tried to get back to his roots, with hilarious attempts to do so. I love this comedy, but as a white suburbanite, I was concerned whether a native American would find this funny, or offensive. I got the movie on amazon, and on my last trip to the reservation, showed it to a Navajo couple. Well, it passed the test - they thought it was hysterical and asked for a copy of it.
