3/5
It's a winning farce, if one that's far too broad. Go to Full Review Joe Williams St. Louis Post-Dispatch 12/03/2010
2/4
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. Go to Full Review Michael O'Sullivan Washington Post 10/15/2010

A film that chafes, even as it ingratiates. Go to Full Review Sarah Boslaugh Playback:stl 12/05/2010

...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. Go to Full Review Ian Buckwalter DCist 10/15/2010

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. Go to Full Review Chris Hewitt St. Paul Pioneer Press 10/08/2010

01/02/2016 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. See more 01/06/2012 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... ) See more 11/16/2011 I fully realize this is full of clichà (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 malgrà (C) moi. See more 10/01/2011 Enjoyed it. What's wrong with a little magic? See more 09/03/2011 a southern afircan 4 weeddings and a funeral (the goat!) meets "planes, trains and automobiles" good stuff. See more 06/24/2011 This African Dramedy is surely gonna get in your heart. See more Read all reviews
