Schuster's slapstick for a country in need

Shucks, it's another Leon Schuster movie.

South Africa's cinematic prankster has enlisted the talents of Rob van Vuuren, Lare Birk and Alfred Ntombela to help him get the country laughing in Schuks! Your Country Needs You.

Playing to his strengths, Schuster delivers his usual mix of slapstick pranks with the slightest hint of a plot.

Schuster was not afraid to crack a joke or two after the premier last night.

"Laugh your ass off but remember to take it back home," the funny man said.
