Bad Lucky Goat is a 2017 coming-of-age film that follows the story of two siblings, Corn and Rita, who accidentally kill a goat on their way to deliver a table to a customer. The movie, directed by Samir Oliveros, is set in the Caribbean island of San Andres and features a predominantly Afro-Colombian cast. The film opens with a glimpse of the island's vibrant and colorful culture, as well as the laid-back lifestyle of the locals. Corn (Honlenny Huffington) and Rita (Kiara Howard) are introduced as two siblings who seem to have a strained relationship. Corn is a rebellious teenager who is often in trouble with the law, while Rita is more responsible and mature beyond her years.

After borrowing their father's moped to deliver a table to a customer, the siblings accidentally hit and kill a goat on the road. They panic and decide to hide the goat's body, fearing that they will be held responsible for its death. However, their plan goes awry when they realize that the goat's owner, an intimidating local businessman called Mr. Solomon, is offering a significant reward for its return.

The rest of the movie follows Corn and Rita's misadventures as they try to retrieve the goat's body without being caught by Mr. Solomon or the police. Along the way, they encounter a colorful array of characters, including a friendly Rastafarian, a flirtatious French tourist, and a voodoo priestess.

Despite the lighthearted and comedic tone of the film, Bad Lucky Goat also tackles more significant themes, such as the challenges of growing up in a low-income community, family relationships, and the impact of tourism on Caribbean societies. The movie's portrayal of San Andres also reflects the island's complex history as a former British colony with a distinct Afro-Caribbean culture.

The film's cinematography is a standout feature, capturing the island's bright colors and stunning landscapes. The cast also gives impressive performances, especially the young leads. Honlenny Huffington and Kiara Howard convey the complex sibling relationship convincingly, while Jean Bush Howard, who plays their grandmother, steals the show with her hilarious and sassy demeanor.

Overall, Bad Lucky Goat is a charming and heartfelt film that provides a fresh perspective on Caribbean culture and coming-of-age stories. Its humor and warmth are sure to enthrall audiences of all ages and backgrounds.
