ComedyFamily

After squandering his grant money, despondent and recently widowed anthropologist James Krippendorf must produce hard evidence of the existence of a heretofore undiscovered New Guinea tribe. Grass skirts, makeup, and staged rituals transform his three troubled children into the Shelmikedmu, a primitive culture whose habits enthrall scholars. But when a spiteful rival threatens to blow the whistle on Krippendorf's ruse, he gets into the act as well.

    Reminds me a bit of the movie Jungle 2 Jungle (1997) http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0119432/ and Krippendorf's Tribe (1998) http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0120725/

    (the screenplays are different, but from a similar timeframe between '85 and '94)
