It's a winning farce, if one that's far too broad.

While it's a relief to visit a side of Africa that's not beset by poverty and war, we learn little about the characters.

A film that chafes, even as it ingratiates.

...the didactic and unbelievable nature of many of the conversations and events, sometimes emphasized by cross-cutting, strains the patience of even the most generous viewer.

At its best when looking at the 21st century trying to get a foothold in a country where a rural landscape, centuries of indigenous tradition and decades of entrenched colonial racism make progress difficult.

When it's all over, it's no more satisfying than a not-bad sitcom.

A joyful tender portrait of South Africa, not deep or political. Think of the protagonist "Elvis" as a modern day Odysseus trying to back to his Penelope.

One of the funniest movies I've ever watched in a uniquely South African way - I was pleasantly surprised. (I only wish there were some normal white South Africans... )

I fully realize this is full of clichÃ (C) and some kitsch, too; and, which is worse, it has the aesthetics of a soap or television series. But this is not the full truth: it has some very good shots, too. And above all it made me laugh a lot, maybe due to the setting where I saw it (a small African film festival). So: three .stars malgrÃ (C) moi.
