Seriously Single

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.

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.

I normally do not watch movies like these. Had a time to sit and watch it, the characters lacked any screen chemistry, the directing was too over the top. A rom-com should at least have chemistry and not try to make every scene funny by throwing in random gags.The protagonist and the love interest could act but it still couldn't work on screen. If you want a mild easy movie, by all means you can watch it, but if you treat films like art, you will be disappointed.

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.

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!
