Van der Merwe

9 out of 10 for making us laugh so much. And very well done even though this film was not totally perfect, but it was so hilarious. OMG was it funny. They did do an excellent job with the Van der Merwe joke character, bringing it to life with verrrry funny scenes like "watching my drinking" in the mirror ROFL and the part with the beeer chicken!!! So so funny! Feel good film 4 sure!

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.

A few of the actors in the movie are good, but not in this movie. The story is predictable, the cast does not match well, and the story and acting suffered because of it. This is a GIANT failure. One of the worst South African movies in the last 10 years. The Van Der Merwe jokes which are EXTREMELY popular in South African culture are made in the afrikaans language. The entire film is english. Like wtf were they thinking? The cast felt unemotional and stiff. Do yourself a favor and rather rent a Leon Schuster movie. #epicfail

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.

Totally entertaining. Kept me laughing non stop. The main actor Van was amazing such great funny body language. All the actors however where good. Definetly a movie I recommend you watch if you want some good fun light hearted entertainment.
