Sexyloutak Absolutely the worst movie.

Breakinger A Brilliant Conflict

SparkMore n my opinion it was a great movie with some interesting elements, even though having some plot holes and the ending probably was just too messy and crammed together, but still fun to watch and not your casual movie that is similar to all other ones.

Bessie Smyth Great story, amazing characters, superb action, enthralling cinematography. Yes, this is something I am glad I spent money on.

paulclaassen I'm sorry, I just don't appreciate it when cultural differences are thrown in your face. What could potentially have been a wonderful movie is ruined by the desperate urge to be ever-so-South African

Lee Ehrlich Loved this movie from start to finish! The storyline, characters, music, humor and colors of Africa kept me thoroughly entertained. Not to be missed!! So many aspects of the South African culture are brought to light in a subtle, almost teasing way including satire from the white as well as black perspective and their in-bred intolerance of one another's customs and traditions. Each one of the characters is so endearing in their own way - from Dinky and Fanie with their casual, easy acceptance of one another to Fanie's racist Afrikaner mother and brother who just don't get it. The movie is so entertaining and the music so catchy that it will have you singing and smiling your way through to the end.

patrienkie I started watching this movie late at night, confusing it with another movie I've seen parts of, also involving an interracial marriage. I have to admit, I'm not much of a fan of Afrikaans movies, even though I am Afrikaans speaking myself, because there are so few really stunning Afrikaans movies (even if subtitled as it is here). I think I started watching about 15 minutes into the movie, but with every minute that passed, I became more intrigued. As far as I know, modern black women in South Africa, no longer practice the tradition of lobola, so some of it probably takes a suspension in belief. However, towards the end of the movie, it felt like a universal movie theme to me, this modern tale of Romeo and Juliet, set against the backdrop of modern day South Africa and the challenges couples of different cultures face, because even though South Africans think they have come a long way in embracing the 'world view', so to speak, entrenched in their hearts, there is still a strong fall-back to tradition. What stands out even more than that though, is that like in all great love stories, it often is not the couple having the difficulty in adjusting and living in harmony, but obviously their friends and family, who all bring their own views and prejudice into the mix. Isn't that what makes successful, enduring unions after all, the ability to cling to one another despite adversity and draw their strength and validation from each other? I hope you all enjoy the movie as much as I did. English is not my first language, so I hope this is linguistically correct!

Hazel Woodward I have not read Nape'a Motana, author of Fanie Fourie's Lobola's book yet, but thoroughly enjoyed this movie which is based on it. Nape'a wrote in both English and Sepedi, I believe, while the film is in Zulu, English and Afrikaans (fully subtitled). It begins with a silly dare between brothers, and is an honest and positive story reflecting accurate and nuanced complex relationships between black and white in South Africa. Having said that, it is definitely a romantic comedy, in that it makes you both laugh and cry. The situations are true-to-life, many of the attitudes - especially of the older people - are very recognizable and you end up rooting for the hero and heroine in a big way.
