Synopsis – What to Expect from “Krippendorf’s Tribe”
Krippendorf’s Tribe is a 1998 comedy film directed by Todd Holland and starring Richard Dreyfuss, Jenna Elfman, and David Spade.
The movie tells the story of Dr. James Krippendorf (Richard Dreyfuss), an anthropology professor who is struggling to find a new research project after his last one failed. Desperate for money to pay the tuition for his three children, Krippendorf fabricates a study of a lost tribe in New Guinea. He creates a fake tribe, complete with a language, costumes, and rituals, and then produces a documentary about it.
Krippendorf’s deception is soon discovered by Veronica Micelli (Jenna Elfman), a graduate student who is also working on the project. She threatens to expose Krippendorf unless he agrees to help her finish the documentary. Krippendorf reluctantly agrees, and the two set out to create a believable documentary about the fake tribe.
Meanwhile, Krippendorf’s children, Mickey (Natanya Ross), Shelly (Shane Sweet), and Edmund (Gregory Smith), discover their father’s deception and decide to help him out. The children create a fake village and stage a series of rituals and ceremonies to make the documentary look more authentic.
Krippendorf’s Tribe is a hilarious and heartwarming story about the lengths a father will go to provide for his children. The movie is full of laughs as
