Van der Merwe

This is hands down the worst South African movie that I've ever seen. And an english Van Der Merwe???!! not well thought through. They rant on about the "rooinek" yet all of them speak english. Does not make sense. really a massive failure.

Nice Light movie with comedy good for the whole family.

Rob van Vuuren is the reason to see this! The South African comedian is perfectly cast in the role of a lowly Boer farmer who is the ridicule of his family. He is forced to choose between his daughter (Reine Swart) and his father (Ian Roberts) when she is engaged to British doctor George (Matthew Baldwin). In an age where comedies in Hollywood rely too much on nudity and cursing like sailors, this brings back the old school brand of comedy with one gross out joke. The star's comic deadpan humor, combinbing literal and sarcasm with a taste of slapstick is fun to watch. The jokes are funny in the Airplane sense at times and seeing his daughter's frustrations with him is pretty fun to watch as well. Overall, a fun little gem from South Africa.

Another South African title to be proud of, Van Der Merwe. This comedy, starring some of the country's best, has been well written and put together, and it has been written in such a way that it falls snuggly in the category just above stepping on people's toes. Well done Mr Lawley for writing this successful title!

That's two thumbs up from me.

Very good light hearted entertainment for when you really need a good laugh (and I think we could all do with one now) We all enjoyed it and was perfect for putting a smile on all of our faces - with some good acting from top local actors like Ian Roberts (vans dad) and Rob van Vuuren with a hilarious performance as Van. Will watch again.
