Seriously Single

First of all, a movie such as this usually falls somewhat outside of my preference of movies to watch. But I had the opportunity to sit down and watch it, and given the fact that I hadn't already seen it, I thought I might give the movie a chance, even without ever having heard of the movie prior to now.

Well, "Seriously Single" from writer Lwazi Mvusi happened to be a very straightforward, although very generic, romantic comedy, for better or worse. Of course there is a an audience out there for a sappy movie such as this. But yeah, it falls into the category of once-you've-seen-one-movie-like-this-you've-essentially-seen-them all. Yup, it was that much of a step-by-step manuscript of how-to-make-a-romcom.

The acting in the movie was adequate, taking into consideration the type of movie that it was, and the limitations of the script and storyline. I wasn't familiar with a single actress or actor in the movie, which was something that actually worked out well for me.

"Seriously Single" was adequately entertaining, although it was by no account an outstanding movie.

My rating of directors Katleho Ramaphakela and Rethabile Ramaphakela's movie is a bland and mediocre five out of ten stars.

Who exactly is rating this? I've watched some pretty crap main stream romcoms with better reviews. This deserves better! It is a bit like a typical cliche romcom but really funny with relatable acting and chemistry between the two main female leads. Really refreshing to watch a funny non American or British movie. A win for SA!

Not a great film but a lot of fun to watch. I appreciate being able to see something from someplace other than Hollywood. I thought the two actresses were terrific, and what is up with their fabulous fashions? I haven't seen anything like that in the states!

It's so sad to watch a movie about women so desperate for men that they disrespect themselves and others. We need movies about women's independence and empowerment, not desperation. This movie was a horrible disappointment.

I found this film modern and refreshing. Both of the main female actresses were brilliant and had great chemistry together and individually their acting was on point. I found them funny, relatable and easy to watch and the rest off the cast were also great actors. Would like to see more films with the lead actors in it. I also like the Bar manager and found him very natural and believable. Yes it was a typical rom com but I like rom coms and it had a lot of funny scenes, and was refreshing to see a film based in Africa rather than America. Great work to all involved.
