If something ain't broken don't fix it

This south-African gem is funny witty and written with comedy perfection. The acting is superb and the pace well done.

This movie contains Afrikaans and English dialog and is one of the many Afrikaans English movies released internationally.(other notable movies with Afrikaans English language includes:Kruger miljoene(Kruger Millions 1967),hoor my lied(hear my song 1968),die professor en die prikkel pop(the professor and the beauty queen 1968),Dirkie 1969) and Die 5de seisoen(the fith season (1977)

The story focus on a small fictional town in South Africa Swellemdam.The tourists are not as much as they used to be so The town comes together to figure out a way to make Swellemdam great again.So they start to brainstorm and 2 of them find out that the town was never Incorporated into south Africa therefor their independent.Exactly here is where shits hit the fan

Relax laugh out loud and lesson learned never fix something that's still functioning.
