Buena vida

Well, let's just get it out of the way: a small South African production, shot during the first (read "BIG") wave of Covid and on basically no budget. So the angry reviews about it not being my Big Fat Greek Wedding is perhaps missing that little gems doesn't always have Big Fat Budgets or South African actors that speak Greek......However, this indie movie has a lot of soul, touches your heart , makes you smile and even shed a tear. Olive's journey is utterly human and relatable; it transcends country or culture. The cast is great and the acting is gripping. You probably won't remember Good Life for the rest of your life, but it will sure brighten up your week. Enjoy it!

I not go to comment on the storyline and it just got a charm and enjoyable to watch in weekend with loved ones and very cheerful after watching. Good movie no need something huge, just something special n joyful is what I found from this movie. Love it.

Unlike other reviewers, I didn't watch this movie to critique its "Greek authenticity". The title, GOOD LIFE is what it's all about. We all need a light-hearted, pick-me-up from time to time and this film is just that. I found the characters endearing and completely relatable, the humour subtle but incredibly amusing and the overall production of a very high quality. All in all, I thoroughly enjoyed this film.

There is nothing Greek about this movie. The actors, the crew, the location. It was terrible and fake. Someone watched Big Fat Greek Wedding, went to film school, and thought "how can I get paid to make a movie about Greeks?"

A pretty mediocre attempt to get into the niche market of "Greeks Abroad" that kicked off with "My Big Fat Greek Wedding". It might have helped if any of the characters could actually speak Greek; as it was, they sounded like kids in kindergarten with fake "Greek accents", who'd practised speaking words which meant nothing to them.

The plot was wafer-thin, the acting made any village Am-dram Group look like Oscar winners and the script appeared to have been written in the previously-mentioned kindergarten.

Definitely one to avoid, even on a wet day.
